Sec. 1404.18  Procedures for requesting expedited panels.

    (a) With the excepting of the specific changes noted in this 
Subpart, all FMCS rules and regulations governing its arbitration 
services shall apply to Expedited Arbitration.
    (b) Upon receipt of a joint Request for Arbitration Panel (Form R-
43) indicating that expedited services are desired by both parties, the 
OAS will require a panel of arbitrators.
    (c) A panel of arbitrators submitted by the OAS in expedited cases 
shall be valid for up to 30 days. Only one panel will be submitted per 
case. If the parties are unable to mutually agree upon an arbitrator or 
if prioritized selections are not received from both parties within 30 
days, the OAS will make a direct appointment of an arbitrator not on the 
original panel.

    (d) If the parties mutually select an arbitrator, but the arbitrator 
is not available, the parties may select a second name from the same 
panel or the OAS will make a direct appointment of another arbitrator 
not listed on the original panel.
