A new BRC pilot program has been implemented in the Dallas field office wherein the parties are
put into different rooms and the BRO shuttles between rooms to facilitate potential agreements as
to the issues. Given that BRCs are typically allotted only 45 minutes, it will be interesting to see

come to expect after 25 years of practice before the Division.
