Procedures

The following is a description of some of the procedures that the Panel uses after it asserts jurisdiction in a case.  If a more thorough understanding of the procedures is necessary, you may contact Panel representatives directly at (202) 218-7790 for additional information.  Moreover, the Panel representative initially assigned to investigate a case will provide a detailed explanation of various procedures when soliciting the parties' preferences.  While such preferences are given serious consideration, the Panel ultimately selects the procedure that, in its view, is best designed to address the particular circumstances presented.

From time to time, the Panel meets with its customers around the country to provide training on the Panel's processes and to engage in a dialogue intended to elicit their concerns.  Parties are encouraged to contact the Panel in advance when planning sizable training conferences to arrange for Panel participation.
