    Upon petition by any person, or on its own motion, the Board may 
issue statements of policy or guidance. In determining whether to issue 
such a statement, the criteria to be considered by the Board will 
include, but not be limited to, the following:
    (a) Whether the question presented can more appropriately be 
resolved by other means;
    (b) Where other means are available, whether a Board statement would 
prevent the proliferation of cases;
    (c) Whether the resolution of the question presented would have 
general applicability;
    (d) Whether the question currently confronts the parties as part of 
their employee-management relationship;
    (e) Whether the question is presented jointly by the parties 
involved; and
    (f) Whether the issuance by the Board of a statement of policy or 
guidance would promote the purposes of the General Accounting Office 
Personnel Act.
