National Labor Relations Board Advisory Committee on Agency 
Procedure

agency: National Labor Relations Board.

ACTION: Notice of establishment of National Labor Relations Board 
Advisory Committee on Agency Procedure.

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

    In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, 5 U.S.C. app. 2 (1972), and 29 CFR 102.136 (1993), and after 
consulting with and obtaining the approval of the Committee Management 
Secretariat of the General Services Administration and the Office of 
Management and Budget, the National Labor Relations Board has 
determined that the establishment of a National Labor Relations Board 
Advisory Committee on Agency Procedure is necessary and in the public 
interest. Except as hereinafter noted and until further notice, the 
Agency adopts and will follow the Federal Advisory Committee Management 
Regulations for the operation of this and future advisory committees 
(41 CFR 101-6.1001--101.61035 (1993).
    The purpose of the Committee is to provide input and advice to the 
Board and General Counsel on changes in Agency procedures that will 
expedite case processing and improve Agency service to the public. The 
Committee will function solely as an advisory body and in compliance 
with the terms of the Federal Advisory Committee Act and its charter 
will be filed in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
    The Committee will consist of 50 members divided into two panels, 
one composed of 25 Union-side representatives and the other of 25 
Management-side representatives. Membership on the panels will be 
broadly representative of persons who represent labor and management 
before the Agency, and members will be selected for their expertise in 
representing labor and management before the Agency. Balance of 
Committee composition will be ensured through geographical, ethnic 
minority and women representatives, and through representation by the 
Co-Chairs of the NLRB Practice and Procedure Committee of the Labor and 
Employment Law Section of the American Bar Association. Appointments 
will be for two years unless otherwise directed by the Chairman of the 
Board. Committee members will be required to bear their own costs for 
travel and other expenses in connection with their participation on the 
Committee.
    Generally, the two panels of the Committee will meet separately. 
The date, place and time of the panel meetings will be published in the 
Federal Register. The notice will also announce whether the meetings 
are open or closed to public attendance, and if closed, the reasons 
why. A session of the Committee will consist of one scheduled meeting 
of each panel. When the panels meet on different dates, the adjournment 
of the latter of the two panels will constitute an adjournment of that 
session of the Committee. Within 30 days of that adjournment, any 
member of the public may present written comments to the Committee on 
the matters considered during the previous session.
    Written comments should be submitted to the Committee's Management 
Officer and Designated Federal Official, Miguel Gonzelez, Executive 
Assistant to the Chairman, National Labor Relations Board, 1099--14th 
Street, NW., suite 11104, Washington, DC 20570-0001; Telephone: (202) 
273-2864.

William B. Gould IV,
Chairman.
