Sec.  28.27  Intervenors.

    (a) Intervenors are persons who are allowed to participate in a 
proceeding because the proceeding, or its outcome, may affect their 
rights or duties.
    (b) Any person may, by motion to the administrative judge, request 
permission to intervene. The motion shall state the reasons why the 
person should be permitted to intervene. A person alleged to have 
committed a prohibited personnel practice under 5 U.S.C. 2302(b) may 
request permission to intervene under this section.
    (c) A motion for permission to intervene will be granted where a 
determination is made by the administrative judge or the Board, where 
the case is being heard en banc, that the requestor will be affected 
directly by the outcome of the proceeding. Denial of a motion for 
intervention may be appealed to the full Board. Such an appeal shall be 
filed within 10 days of service of the denial of the motion to 
intervene.
    (d) Intervenors who are granted permission to intervene will be 
considered full parties to the hearing and will have the same rights and 
duties as a party with two exceptions:
    (1) Intervenors will not have an independent right to a hearing.
    (2) Intervenors may participate in Board proceedings only on the 
issues affecting them, as determined by the administrative judge or 
Board.
