Sec. 101.11  Administrative law judge's decision.

    (a) At the conclusion of the hearing the administrative law judge 
prepares a decision stating findings of fact and conclusions, as well as 
the reasons for the determinations on all material issues, and making 
recommendations as to action which should be taken in the case. The 
administrative law judge may recommend dismissal or sustain the 
complaint, in whole or in part, and recommend that the respondent cease 
and desist from the unlawful acts found and take action to remedy their 
effects.
    (b) The administrative law judge's decision is filed with the Board 
in Washington, DC, and copies are simultaneously served on each of the 
parties. At the same time the Board, through its Executive Secretary, 
issues and serves on each of the parties an order transferring the case 
to the Board. The parties may accept and comply with the administrative 
law judge's recommended order, which, in the absence of exceptions, 
shall become the order of the Board. Or, the parties or counsel for the 
Board may file exceptions to the administrative law judge's decision 
with the Board. Whenever any party files exceptions, any other party may 
file an answering brief limited to questions raised in the exceptions 
and/or may file cross-exceptions relating to any portion of the 
administrative law judge's decision. Cross-exceptions may be filed only 
by a party who has not previously filed exceptions. Whenever any party 
files cross-exceptions, any other party may file an answering brief to 
the cross-exceptions. The parties may request permission to appear and 
argue orally before the Board in Washington, DC. They may also submit 
proposed findings and conclusions to the Board.
