§ 4221.10 Costs.

The costs of arbitration under this part shall be borne by the parties as follows:

(a) Witnesses. Each party to the dispute shall bear the costs of its own witnesses.

(b) Other costs of arbitration. Except as provided in § 4221.6(d) with respect to a transcript of the hearing, the parties shall bear the other costs of the arbitration proceedings equally unless the arbitrator determines otherwise. The parties may, however, agree to a different allocation of costs if their agreement is entered into after the employer has received notice of the plan's assessment of withdrawal liability.
