    If the parties have not adjusted the dispute or agreed upon methods

as may be necessary for a determination of the issues by the Board. All 
parties are afforded full opportunity to present their respective 
positions and to produce evidence in support of their contentions. The 
parties are permitted to argue orally on the record before the hearing 
officer. At the close of the hearing, the case is transmitted to the 
Board for decision. The hearing officer prepares an analysis of the 
issues and the evidence, but makes no recommendations in regard to 
resolution of the dispute.
