NATIONAL MEDIATION BOARD
29 CFR Parts 1202 and 1206
[Docket No. C-6964]
RIN 3140-ZA00
Representation Election Procedure
AGENCY: National Mediation Board.
ACTION: Proposed rule; clarification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document clarifies a proposed rule appearing in the
Federal Register on November 3, 2009. The previous document did not
include the factual basis for the National Mediation Board's
certification, under Section 605 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
that the proposed rule is not expected to have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The proposed rule
affects only the Board's election process and the method used by the
Board to determine the outcome of a self-organization vote by
employees. The proposed rule would not directly affect any small
entities as defined under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Accordingly,
the National Mediation Board certifies that it will not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
DATES: Comments for the proposed rule published on November 3, 2009 (74
FR 56750) continue to be accepted until January 4, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Johnson, General Counsel,
National Mediation Board, 202-692-5050, [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document clarifies the proposed rule
published on November 3, 2009 at 74 FR 56750. The Board is proposing to
amend its Railway Labor Act rules to provide that, in representation
disputes, a majority of valid ballots cast will determine the craft or
class representative.
Dated: December 1, 2009.
Mary Johnson,
General Counsel, National Mediation Board.
