NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

29 CFR Part 103


Rules Regarding Standardized Remedial Provisions in Board Unfair 
Labor Practice Decisions and the Appropriateness of Single Location 
Bargaining Units in Representation Cases

AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.

ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rulemakings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NLRB is indefinitely withdrawing from active consideration 
two rulemaking proceedings: (1) The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
issued on March 5, 1992 entitled Codification of Standardized Remedial 
Provisions in Board Decisions Regarding Offers of Reinstatement, Make-
Whole Remedies, Computation of Interest, and Posting of Notices (57 FR 
7897); and (2) the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Notice of 
Proposed

[[Page 8891]]

Rulemaking issued on June 2, 1994 (59 FR 28501) and September 28, 1995 
(60 FR 50146), respectively, entitled Appropriateness of Requested 
Single Location Bargaining Units in Representation Cases. The Board \1\ 
has decided to take this action given that no action has been taken by 
the Board on either rulemaking proceeding for several years \2\ and the 
Board's determination to focus its time and resources on reducing the 
backlog of adjudicated cases pending before the Board.

    \1\ Members Fox, Liebman, Hurtgen and Brame. Chairman Gould 
agrees with his colleagues as to the notice of proposed rulemaking 
regarding standardized remedial orders in Board unfair labor 
practice decisions, but dissents from the withdrawal of the notice 
of proposed rulemaking regarding the appropriateness of single 
location bargaining units in representation cases.
    \2\ A Congressional rider attached to each of the NLRB's 1996, 
1997, and 1998 appropriations bills has prohibited the Agency from 
expending any funds to promulgate a final rule regarding the 
appropriateness of single location bargaining units in 
representation cases.
