PART 16--PROCEDURES OF THE DEPARTMENTAL GRANT APPEALS BOARD--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 16.16  Parties to the appeal.

    (a) The only parties to the appeal are the appellant and the 
respondent. If the Board determines that a third person is a real party 
in interest (for example, where the major impact of an audit 
disallowance would be on the grantee's contractor, not on the grantee), 
the Board may allow the third person to present the case on appeal for 
the appellant or to appear with a party in the case, after consultation 
with the parties and if the appellant does not object.
    (b) The Board may also allow other participation, in the manner and 
by the deadlines established by the Board, where the Board decides that 
the intervenor has a clearly identifiable and substantial interest in 
the outcome of the dispute, that participation would sharpen issues or 
otherwise be helpful in resolution of the dispute, and that 
participation would not result in substantial delay.
