# §100.612. Disputed claims or debts.

- (b) If the debtor's arguments appear to have merit, the NLRB may waive the interest period pursuant to [29 CFR 100.617(c)](/cfr/29/100.617.md?p=c) pending a final determination of the existence or the amount of the debt.
- (c) The NLRB may investigate the facts concerning the dispute and, if it considers it necessary, arrange for a conference at which the debtor may present evidence and any arguments in support of the debtor's position.
