run when it placed the abandonment notation in Canter’s DAC report in 2004, and Canter did not file his claim until December 16, 2008. Under the STAA, a driver has 180 days to file a STAA claim from the date an alleged violation occurred. 49 U.S.C. § 31105(b)(1). The ARB, however, has interpreted the STAA to incorporate an exception to the general background rule of accrual that a claim accrues at the time of injury. See Osborn v. United States, 918 F.2d 724, 731 (8th Cir.1990) (describing the general rule). This exception is a version of the discovery accrual rule of federal common law, such that the limitations period begins to run when the employee receives notice of the adverse action taken by the employer. See Eu-banks v. AM. Express, Inc., ARB No. OS-138, 4 (ARB Sept. 24, 2009) (<HOLDING>). Maverick asserts the ARB’s interpretation is
holding the employee had 180 days to file a claim from the date the employee received final definitive and unequivocal notice of an adverse employment action holding that accrual date begins to run on the date the employee is notified unambiguously of the adverse employment action holding that the decision to reprimand or transfer an employee if rescinded before the employee suffers a tangible harm is not an adverse employment action holding that a party must file an eeoc charge within 180 days from the date the unlawful act occurred or lose the ability to recover for it holding that depriving an employee of vacation days to which he was entitled would constitute adverse action
