PART 1203_APPLICATIONS FOR SERVICE--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1203.3  Interpretation of mediation agreements.

    (a) Applications may be filed with the Board's Chief of Staff under 
section 5, Second, of the Railway Labor Act, for the interpretation of 
agreements reached in mediation under section 5, First. Such 
applications may be made by letter from either party to the mediation 
agreement stating the specific question on which an interpretation is 
desired.
    (b) This function of the National Mediation Board is not intended to 
conflict with the provisions of section 3 of the Railway Labor Act. 
Providing for interpretation of agreements by the National Railroad 
Adjustment Board. Many complete working agreements are revised with the 
aid of the Board's mediating services, and it has been the Board's 
policy that disputes involving the interpretation or application of such 
agreements should be handled by the Adjustment Board. Under this section 
of the law the Board when called upon may only consider and render an 
interpretation on the specific terms of an agreement actually signed in 
mediation, and not for matters incident or corollary thereto.
