(a) Adequacy. Adequacy of a showing of interest refers to the percentage of employees in the unit involved as required by §§ 2422.3(c) and (d) and 2422.8(c)(1). (b) FLRA investigation of showing of interest and Decision and Order. The FLRA will conduct an investigation if deemed appropriate. An FLRA determination that the showing of interest is adequate is not subject to collateral or direct attack.
