    The regulations contained in this subchapter are intended to 
implement the provisions of section 7119 of title 5 and, where 
applicable, section 431 of title 3 of the United States Code. They 
prescribe procedures and methods which the Federal Service Impasses 
Panel may utilize in the resolution of negotiation impasses when 
voluntary arrangements, including the services of the Federal Mediation 
and Conciliation Service or any other third-party meditation, fail to 
resolve the disputes. It is the policy of the Panel to encourage labor 
and management to resolve disputes on terms that are mutually agreeable 
at any stage of the Panel's procedures.
