during actions taken under Secs. 2471.6(a)(2), 2471.7, 2471.8, 2471.9, 
and 2471.10, the Panel may take whatever action is necessary and not 
inconsistent with 5 U.S.C. chapter 71 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 subpenas as provided in 5 U.S.C. 7132, or 
it may appoint or designate one or more individuals pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
7119(c)(4) 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 Sec. 2471.8 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.
