petition for an order determining each of such individuals to be a

curred, the Board shall enter an order determining such organization

front organization, and any individual as to whom there is in effect a 
final order of the Board determining such individual to be a member 
of a Communist-action organization may, not more often than once in 
each calendar year, file with the Board and serve upon the Attorney 
General a petition for a determination that such organization no longer 
is a Communist-action or Communist-front organization, or that such 
individual no longer is a member of a Communist-action organization, 
as the case may be. Each petition filed under this subsection shall be 
verified under oath, and shall contain a statement of the facts relied 
upon in support thereof. Upon the filing of any such petition, the 
Board shall serve upon each party to such proceeding a notice specify-
ing the time and place for hearing upon such petition. No such hear-
