Narrative:

I was controller in charge of the area. One of our sectors had an error between these 2 aircraft while I was on duty. I did not know the error occurred until I received a phone call from supervisor about the act involved. I questioned the controllers and then had them relieved from position for further investigation. It was later deemed an operational error. A controller in charge is basically an fpl controller certified to watch the area as a supervisor does without supervisory authority/authorized or pay. I was unsure whether or not to file this since I was not directly involved. However, as only a controller, I decided to submit this to you.
