Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his work for a private company had national importance beyond that single entity. While his proposed carbon sequestration research was deemed to have merit and national importance, he did not establish that he was well-positioned to advance that endeavor, thus failing the second prong of the Dhanasar framework. The motion to reconsider was denied for not showing an incorrect application of law or policy.
