Sec.  28.131  Corrective action proceedings.

    (a) When information comes to the attention of the General Counsel 
suggesting that a prohibited personnel practice may have occurred, 
exists or is to be taken, the General Counsel shall investigate the 
matter to the extent necessary to determine whether there are reasonable 
grounds to believe that a prohibited personnel practice has occurred, 
exists or is to be taken.
    (b) If the General Counsel terminates any investigation under this 
section which is not also the subject of a charge, the General Counsel 
shall prepare and transmit to any person on whose allegation the 
investigation was initiated, a written statement notifying the person of 
the termination of the investigation and the reasons therefore.
    (c) If the General Counsel determines that there are reasonable 
grounds to believe that a prohibited personnel practice has occurred, 
exists or is to be taken which requires corrective action and which is 
not also the subject of a charge, the General Counsel shall report the 
determination together with any findings or recommendations to the GAO.
    (d) If, after a reasonable period, GAO has not taken the corrective 
action recommended, the Board's Office of General Counsel may file a 
petition with the Board. Such petition shall be processed in accordance 
with Sec. Sec.  28.19 through 28.25.
