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.
