# §1203.12. Granting or denying the request for regulation review.

- (a) The Board, in its sole discretion, may grant or deny an interested person's request for regulation review. It will grant a request for regulation review that the Special Counsel submits. It will not, however, review a regulation before its effective date.
- (b) If the Board grants a request, it will review the regulation to determine whether any provision, whether on its face or as implemented by the agency, would require any employee to violate [5 U.S.C. 2302(b)](/usc/5/2302.md?p=b).
