Sec. 1605.55  Disqualification.

    (a) No member of a local board shall act on the case of a registrant 
who is the member's first cousin or closer relation, either by blood, 
marriage, or adoption, or who is the member's employer, employee, or 
fellow employee, or stands in the relationship of superior or 
subordinate of the member in connection with any employment, or is a 
partner or close business associate of the member, or a fellow member or 
employee of the area office.
    (b) A member of the local board must disqualify himself in any 
matter in which he would be restricted, for any reason, in making an 
impartial decision.
    (c) Whenever a quorum of a local board cannot act on the case of a 
registrant, the area office supervisor shall cause such case to be 
transferred to another board within the area office. In those instances 
where only one board exists in an area office, the case should be 
transmitted to the nearest area office for transfer to a board under its 
jurisdiction.
