FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS AUTHORITY
5 CFR Chapter XIV
Regional Offices; Jurisdictional Changes
AGENCY: Federal Labor Relations Authority (the Authority and the
General Counsel of the Federal Labor Relations Authority).
ACTION: Amendment of rules and regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document amends the rules and regulations of the
Authority and the General Counsel of the Federal Labor Relations
Authority to provide for changes in the geographical jurisdictions of
the seven Regional Directors concerning unfair labor practice charges
and representation petitions.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Clyde B. Blandford, Jr., Director of
Operations and Resource Management, at (202) 482-6680, extension 206.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective January 28, 1980, the Authority
and the General Counsel published, at 45 FR 3482, January 17, 1980,
final rules and regulations to govern the processing of cases by the
Authority and the General Counsel under chapter 71 of title 5 of the
United States Code. These rules and regulations are required by title
VII of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and are set forth in 5 CFR
Part 2400 et seq. (1996).
Appendix A, paragraph (f) of the rules and regulations sets forth
the geographic jurisdictions of the Regional Directors of the Federal
Labor Relations Authority. In the best interest of maximizing the
resources of the Office of the General Counsel and efficient and
effective case processing, the General Counsel is realigning the
geographical jurisdictions of the Regional Directors to distribute the
caseload, based on a current analysis of case intake and available
resources in order to meet the needs of its customers. The resulting
change will result in equalizing the work for each regional office
employee. The Office of the General Counsel will continue to transfer
cases between regions on a recurring basis, as necessary, based on
caseload and staffing in order to maximize its resources.
Executive Order 12291
This regulation has been reviewed in accordance with Executive
Order 12291. It is not classified as major because it does not meet the
criteria for major regulations established by the Order.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
The General Counsel has determined that this regulation will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This regulation contains no information collection or recordkeeping
requirement under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3507 et seq.)
For the reasons set out in the preamble and under the authority of
5 U.S.C. 7134, Appendix A to 5 CFR Chapter XIV is amended by revising
paragraph (f) to read as follows:
