Sec. 102.33  Transfer of charge and proceeding from region to region; 
consolidation of proceedings in same region; severance.

    (a) Whenever the general counsel deems it necessary in order to 
effectuate the purposes of the Act or to avoid unnecessary costs or 
delay, he may permit a charge to be filed with him in Washington, DC, or 
may, at any time after a charge has been filed with a regional director 
pursuant to Sec. 102.10, order that such charge and any proceeding 
which may have been initiated with respect thereto:
    (1) Be transferred to and continued before him for the purpose of 
investigation or consolidation with any other proceeding which may have 
been instituted in a regional office or with him; or
    (2) Be consolidated with any other proceeding which may have been 
instituted in the same region; or
    (3) Be transferred to and continued in any other region for the 
purpose of investigation or consolidation with any proceeding which may 
have been instituted in or transferred to such other region; or
    (4) Be severed from any other proceeding with which it may have been 
consolidated pursuant to this section.
    (b) The provisions of Sec. Sec. 102.9 to 102.32, inclusive, shall, 
insofar as applicable, govern proceedings before the general counsel 
pursuant to this section, and the powers granted to regional directors 
in such provisions shall, for the purpose of this section, be reserved 
to and exercised by the general counsel. After the transfer of any 
charge and any proceeding which may have been instituted with respect 
thereto from one region to another pursuant to this section, the 
provisions of this subpart shall, insofar as applicable, govern such 
charge and such proceeding as if the charge had originally been filed in 
the region to which the transfer is made.
    (c) The regional director may, prior to hearing, exercise the powers 
in paragraph (a)(2) and (4) of this section with respect to proceedings 
pending in his region.

    (d) Motions to consolidate or sever proceedings after issuance of 
complaint shall be filed as provided in Sec. 102.24 and ruled upon as 
provided in Sec. 102.25, except that the regional director may 
consolidate or sever proceedings prior to hearing upon his own motion. 
Rulings by the administrative law judge upon motions to consolidate or 
sever may be appealed to the Board as provided in Sec. 102.26.
