# Negotiability Forms

## eFiling

The Authority prefers that parties use the Authority's eFiling system.  However, copies of the standard negotiability-proceeding forms are available below for parties wishing to file by mail.

The Guide to Negotiability contains useful information about the negotiability process, including diagrams of the pre-petition process and the filing process.

## Forms

All forms must be filed with the Office of Case Intake and Publication.  The forms are intended to help parties file complete, accurate, and timely negotiability appeals with the Authority.  Although the forms are optional, they provide a convenient format to organize the information *required*by the FLRA's Regulations for negotiability filings.  If you are unable to download the forms, contact the Office of Case Intake and Publication.

Parties require different forms depending on whether the negotiability petition concerns a ***proposal***or a ***provision***.  For information about the differences between a proposal and a provision, click here or see the Guide to Negotiability.
