# §2421.14. Appropriate unit.


Appropriate unit means that grouping of employees found to be appropriate for purposes of exclusive recognition under [5 U.S.C. 7111](/usc/5/7111.md), and for purposes of allotments to representatives under [5 U.S.C. 7115(c)](/usc/5/7115.md?p=c), and consistent with the provisions of [5 U.S.C. 7112](/usc/5/7112.md). In determining an appropriate unit in a proceeding under [part 2422](/cfr/5/part2422.md) of this Chapter, for the eight offices listed in [3 U.S.C. 431(d)(2)](/usc/3/431.md?p=d-2), employees shall be excluded from the unit if it is determined that such exclusion is required because of a conflict of interest or appearance of a conflict of interest or because of the President's or Vice President's constitutional responsibilities, in addition to the standards set out in [5 U.S.C. 7112](/usc/5/7112.md).
