Based on the foregoing, we find no basis for granting review of the RD's determination that the proposed consolidated unit is not appropriate.
Because all three criteria must be met, and in view of our finding that the proposed consolidated unit would not promote effective dealings, we do not adopt the RD's conclusions that the employees in the consolidated unit do not share a community of interest and that the consolidated unit would not promote efficiency of operations.
We note, however, that based on our review of the record, it appears that the RD did not correctly apply the factors to be considered in making community of interest determinations.

The Air Force said in a news release Thursday that the review found students might not report sexual assaults because of concerns their training would be delayed or that they might be disciplined for misconduct such as underage drinking.
The report was prompted by a civilian rape crisis center's report that between 20 to 25 Sheppard women said they were raped in the 12 months ending last August.
The Air Education and Training Command at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, which conducted the review, said a review of 45 sexual assault cases at Sheppard from 1993 to 2003 that resulted in completed courts-martial or nonjudicial punishments showed these cases were handled appropriately.
