FEDERAL MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION SERVICE
Notice of Rescheduled Meeting
AGENCY: Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
ACTION: Notice of rescheduled meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS)
announces the rescheduling of the Labor-Management Cooperation Grants
Program meeting. The committee will meet in Washington, D.C. from July
10, 1995 until July 14, 1995. It will stay in operation until the end
of the fiscal year, September 30, 1995.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5
U.S.C. Appx. 9, notice is given that the FMCS has established a federal
advisory committee to evaluate and make recommendations to the agency
about the FMCS Labor-Management Cooperation Grants Program. Congress
specifically requested that FMCS conduct a review of this program for
fiscal year 1995. This review will involve evaluating the overall
program and issuing recommendations to improve it. The committee will
also evaluate the grants process, specific applicants, and make
recommendations on who should receive labor- [[Page 32963]] management
committee grants. The committee will be called the Grants Program
Review and Advisory Committee.
Five grant review boards will sit to evaluate the applications.
Each board will focus on a review of applications of the following
areas: industry labor-management committees, area labor-management
committees, in-plant committees, public (state and local) committees,
and public education committees. Each board will consist of three
individuals selected from the following pool of committee members:
three representatives from state government labor-management programs,
three former grantees, one member from a national trade union
association, one from a national business or industry organization, one
from the National Labor-Management Association, one from a professional
association such as the Industrial Relations Research Association, and
five federal mediators. One federal mediator will sit on each board.
The boards will then convene as the full committee to discuss their
findings and make recommendations to the agency.
The scope of the committee is limited to reviewing the current
process, evaluating the direction of the grants program, and issuing
recommendations for actual grants. FMCS will provide the necessary
support for the committee. The full committee or the individual review
boards will meet as often as necessary. The advisory committee will
issue a final report on its findings and recommendations. The official
to whom the committee will report is the Director of the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service. The Grants Program Manager, Peter
Regner, will serve as Chairman to the Committee. The advisory committee
should not be needed after September 30, 1995

Review and Advisory Committee will begin at 9:00 A.M. on July 10, 1995.
