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.

    Location: U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Theodore Roosevelt 
Building, 1900 E Street, NW., Room 1416, Washington, DC.
