# §1471.10. Final action by the Panel.

- (a) If the parties do not arrive at a settlement as a result of or during action taken under §§ [1471.5(a)(2)](/cfr/22/1471.5.md?p=a-2), [1471.6](/cfr/22/1471.6.md), [1471.7](/cfr/22/1471.7.md), [1471.8](/cfr/22/1471.8.md), and [1471.9](/cfr/22/1471.9.md), the Panel may take whatever action is necessary and not inconsistent with [22 U.S.C. 4110](/usc/22/4110.md) to resolve the impasse, including but not limited to methods and procedures which the Panel considers appropriate, such as directing the parties to accept a factfinder's recommendations, ordering binding arbitration conducted according to whatever procedure the Panel deems suitable, and rendering a binding decision.
- (b) In preparation for taking such final action, the Panel may hold hearings, administer oaths, take the testimony or deposition of any person under oath, and issue subpoenas as provided in [22 U.S.C. 4110(c)(2)](/usc/22/4110.md?p=c-2), or it may appoint or designate one or more individuals pursuant to [22 U.S.C. 4110(c)(1)](/usc/22/4110.md?p=c-1) to exercise such authority on its behalf.
- (c) When the exercise of authority under this section requires the holding of a hearing, the procedure contained in [§ 1471.7](/cfr/22/1471.7.md) shall apply.
- (d) Notice of any final action of the Panel shall be promptly served upon the parties, and the action shall be binding on such parties during the term of the agreement, unless they agree otherwise.
- (e) All papers submitted to the Executive Director under this section shall be filed in duplicate, along with a statement of service showing that a copy has been served on the other party to the dispute.
