Sec. 2421.14  Appropriate unit.

    Appropriate unit means that grouping of employees found to be 
appropriate for purposes of exclusive recognition under 5 U.S.C. 7111, 
and for purposes of allotments to representatives under 5 U.S.C. 
7115(c), and consistent with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7112. In 
determining an appropriate unit in a proceeding under part 2422 of this 
Chapter, for the eight offices listed in 3 U.S.C. 431(d)(2), employees 
shall be excluded from the unit if it is determined that such exclusion 
is required because of a conflict of interest or appearance of a 
conflict of interest or because of the President's or Vice President's 
constitutional responsibilities, in addition to the standards set out in 
5 U.S.C. 7112.
