A request for reconsideration is not a
				  substitute for a court appeal. When the Board denies the request for
				  reconsideration the Board's original order is a "final order" for purposes of
				  appeal to Commonwealth Court within the time specified by Pennsylvania Rule of
				  Appellate Procedure 1571(b) (relating to determinations of the Board of Finance
				  and Revenue). When the Board grants a request for reconsideration the time
				  period for filing an appeal is stayed until the Board issues a reconsidered
				  order. The reconsidered order will replace the original order and will be a
				  "final order" appealable to Commonwealth Court within the time specified by
				  Pennsylvania Rule of Appellate Procedure 1571(b).
