carrier,'' as referred to in Public Law 89-456, making request for 
Mediation Board action, shall be either the General Chairman, Grand 
Lodge Officer (or corresponding officer of equivalent rank), or the 
Chief Executive of the representative involved. A request signed by a 
General Chairman or Grand Lodge Officer (or corresponding officer of 
equivalent rank) shall bear the approval of the Chief Executive of the 
employee representative.
    (2) The ``carrier representative'' making such a request for the 
Mediation Board's action shall be the highest carrier officer designated

    (c) Docketing of PL Board agreements: The National Mediation Board 
will docket agreements establishing PL Board, which agreements meet the

will be appointed under Sec. 1207.1(c) until the agreement establishing 
the PL Board has been docketed by the Mediation Board.
