If planning is anything like on the Optum side of the house they dont give a hoot about the functioning of groups. Get out the kn--e and worry about the aftermath later hit the magic number promised. There are plenty of offshore and H1B to take up the slack. I bet there will be very few unapproved.
Whatever grade level 32 you roll up to will have the final say. They'll look at your departments capacity plan as well as others to figure out how many they can afford to shed or where resources can be reallocated to. I have a feeling they will try to say yes to as many people as they possibly can, but if for some reason they can't accommodate the number of people it'll come down to managers and directors deciding who. They want to get folks who are rated 2 off their books and those close to retirement/higher earners.
I don't have any inside info but would suspect they might not approve if too many people from one bucket of a specific skill set or department volunteer.
If there was too many from a certain area then I would expect they would do in a way that the higher paid and lower performing would be more likely to get approved.
