Sec.  16.5  How the Board operates.



    (a) The Board's professional staff consists of a Chair (who is also 

a Board member) and full- and part-time Board members, all appointed by 

the Secretary; and a staff of employees and consultants who are 

attorneys or persons from other relevant disciplines, such as 

accounting.

    (b) The Chair will assign a Board member to have lead responsibility 

for each case (the ``presiding Board member''). The presiding Board 

member will conduct the conference or hearing, if one is held. Each 

decision of the Board is issued by the presiding Board member and two 

other Board members.

    (c) The Board staff assists the presiding Board member, and may 

request information from the parties; conduct telephone conference calls 

to request information, to clarify issues, or to schedule events; and 

assist in developing decisions and other documents in a case.

    (d) The Chair will assure that no Board or staff member will 

participate in a case where his or her impartiality could reasonably be 

questioned.

    (e) The Board's powers and responsibilities are set forth in Sec.  

16.13.
