OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations Meeting
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations
will hold its second and third meetings on April 7, 2010 and May 5,
2010 at the time and location shown below. The Council is an advisory
body composed of representatives of Federal employee organizations,
Federal management organizations, and senior government officials. The
Council was established by Executive Order 13522, entitled, ``Creating
Labor-Management Forums to Improve Delivery of Government Services,''
which was signed by the President on December 9, 2009. Along with its
other responsibilities, the Council assists in the implementation of
Labor Management Forums throughout the government and makes
recommendations to the President on innovative ways to improve delivery
of services and products to the public while cutting costs and
advancing employee interests. The Council is co-chaired by the Director
of the Office of Personnel Management and the Deputy Director for
Management of the Office of Management and Budget.
Please note that we are providing a slightly shortened notice
period for the April 7 meeting as permitted under 41 CFR 102-3.150 in
``exceptional circumstances.'' Action on this notice was delayed due to
the press of increased workloads at OPM this week relating to the
recent passage of the health care bill. However, the meeting date,
time, location and purpose were announced at the February 26, 2010
public meeting of the Council. Also, notice of the meeting has been
posted
[[Page 15464]]
on the Council website at LMRcouncil.gov since March 8, 2010. Deadlines
imposed by the executive order are pending as agencies were required to
submit implementation plans no later than March 9, and the Council must
act on those plans within 30 days of receipt. OPM believes that a
timely meeting is necessary for the Council to meet its requirements
under the order and to consider public comments on these agency plans.
A further postponement of the meeting would hinder agencies from
meeting their responsibilities under the order to implement labor-
management forums throughout the Federal Government.
At the April 7 meeting, the Council will review agency
implementation plans and make recommendations on their certification.
At the May 5 meeting, the Council will work on recommendations to the
President concerning 5 U.S.C. 7106 (b)(1) pilot projects The meetings
are open to the public. Please contact the Office of Personnel
Management at the address shown below if you wish to present material
to the Council at the meeting. The manner and time prescribed for
presentations may be limited, depending upon the number of parties that
express interest in presenting information.
