I. Information Collection Requests 

FMCS is seeking comments on the 

following Information Collection 

Requests (ICRs). 

Title: Arbitrator’s Personal Data 

Questionnaire; Form R–22; OMB No. 

3076–0001; Expiration date: January 31, 

2006. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved collection with no 

change in the substance or method of 

collection. 

Affected Entities: Parties affected by 

this information collection are 

individuals who apply for admission to 

the FMCS Roster of Arbitrators. 

Frequency: Individuals complete this 

form once at the time of application to 

the FMCS Roster of Arbitrators. 

Abstract: Title II of the Labor 

Management Relations Act of 1947 (Pub. 

L. 90–101), as amended in 1959 (Pub. L. 

86–257) and 1974 (Pub. L. 93–360), 

states that it is the labor policy of the 

United States that ‘‘the settlement of 

issues between employers and 

employees through collective bargaining 

may be advanced by making available 

full and adequate governmental 

facilities for conciliation, mediation, 

and voluntary arbitration to aid and 

encourage employers and 

representatives of their employees to 

reach and maintain agreements 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with MISCELLANEOUS
23818 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 83 / Tuesday, May 1, 2007 / Notices 

concerning rates of pay, hours, and 

working conditions, and to make all 

reasonable efforts to settle their 

differences by mutual agreement 

reached through conferences and 

collective bargaining or by such 

methods as may be provided for in any 

applicable agreement for the settlement 

of disputes.’’ 29 U.S.C. 201(b). Under its 

regulations at 29 CFR part 1404, FMCS 

has established policies and procedures 

for its arbitration function dealing with 

all arbitrators listed on the FMCS Roster 

of Arbitrators, all applicants for listing 

on the Roster, and all person or parties 

seeking to obtain from FMCS either 

names or panels of names of arbitrators 

listed on the Roster in connection with 

disputes which are to be submitted to 

arbitration or fact-finding. FMCS strives 

to maintain the highest quality of 

dispute resolution experts on its Roster. 

To ensure that purpose, it requires all 

candidates to complete an application 

form. 29 CFR 1404.5. The purpose of 

this collection is to gather information 

about applicants for inclusion in the 

FMCS Roster of Arbitrators. This 

questionnaire is needed in order that 

FMCS may select highly qualified 

individuals for the arbitrator Roster. The 

respondents are private citizens who 

make application for appointment to the 

FMCS Roster. 

Burden Statement: The number of 

respondents is approximately 100 

individuals per year, which is the 

approximate number of individuals who 

request membership on the FMCS 

Roster. The time required to complete 

this questionnaire is approximately one 

hour. Each respondent is required to 

respond only once per application and 

to update the information as necessary. 

Title: Arbitrator’s Report and Fee 

Statement; Form R–19; OMB No. 3076– 

0003; Expiration date: January 31, 2006. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved collection with no 

change in the substance or method of 

collection. 

Affected Entities: Individual 

arbitrators who render decisions under 

FMCS arbitration policies and 

procedures. 

Frequency: This form is completed 

each time an arbitrator hears an 

arbitration case and issues a decision. 

Abstract: Pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 171(b) 

and 29 CFR part 1404, FMCS assumes 

a responsibility to monitor the work of 

the arbitrators who serve on its Roster. 

This is satisfied by requiring the 

completion and submission of a Report 

and Fee Statement, which indicates 

when the arbitration award was 

rendered, the file number, the company 

and union, the issues, whether briefs 

were filed and transcripts taken, if there 

were any extensions of the date the 

award was due, and the fees and days 

for services of the arbitrator (see 29 CFR 

1404.14). This information is contained 

in the agency’s annual report to indicate 

the types of arbitration issues resolved, 

the applicable average or median 

arbitration fees and days spent on each 

case. 

Burden Statement: FMCS receives 

approximately 2500 responses per year. 

The form is filled out each time an 

arbitrator hears a case and the time 

required is approximately ten minutes. 

FMCS uses this form to review arbitrator 

conformance with its fee and expense 

reporting requirements. 

Title: Request for Arbitration Services; 

Form R–43; OMB No. 3076–0002; 

Expiration date: February 28, 2006. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved collection with no 

changes in the substance or method of 

collection. 

Affected Entities: Employers and their 

representatives, and labor unions, their 

representatives and employees, who 

request arbitration services. 

Frequency: This form is completed 

each time an employer or labor union 

requests a panel of arbitrators. 

Abstract: Pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 171(b) 

and 29 CFR part 1404, FMCS offers 

panels of arbitrators for selection by 

labor and management to resolve 

grievances and disagreements arising 

under their collective bargaining 

agreements and to deal with fact finding 

and interest arbitration issues as well. 

The need for this form is to obtain 

information such as name, address and 

type of assistance desired, so that FMCS 

can respond to requests efficiently and 

effectively for various arbitration 

services (see 29 CFR 1404.9). The 

purpose of this information collection is 

to facilitate the processing of the parties’ 

request for arbitration assistance. No 

third party notification or public 

disclosure burden is associated with 

this collection. 

Burden Statement: The current total 

annual burden estimate is that FMCS 

will receive requests from 

approximately 10,000 respondents per 

year. The form takes about 10 minutes 

to complete. 

Title: Notice to Mediation Agencies; 

Form F–7; OMB No. 3076–0004; 

Expiration date: January 31, 2006. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved collection with no 

changes in the substance or method of 

collection. 

Affected Entities: Parties affected by 

this information collection are private 

sector employers and labor unions 

involved in interstate commerce that file 

notices for mediation services to the 

FMCS and state, local and territorial 

agencies. 

Frequency: Parties complete this form 

once, which is at the time of an 

impending expiration of a collective 

bargaining agreement. 

Abstract: Under the Labor 

Management Relations Act of 1947, 29 

U.S.C. 158(d), Congress listed specific 

notice provisions so that no party to a 

collective bargaining agreement can 

terminate or modify that contract, 

unless the party wishing to terminate or 

modify the contract sends a written 

notice to the other party sixty days prior 

to the expiration date (29 U.S.C. 

158(d)(1)), and offers to meet and confer 

with the other party for the purpose of 

negotiating a new or modified contract 

(29 U.S.C. 158(d)(2)). Furthermore, the 

Act requires that parties notify the 

Federal Mediation and Conciliation 

Service within thirty days after such 

notice of the existence of a dispute and 

simultaneously notify any State or 

Territory where the dispute occurs (29 

U.S.C. 158(d)(3)). The 1974 amendments 

to the National Labor Relations Act, 

which extended coverage to nonprofit 

health care institutions, also created a 

notification procedure in the health care 

industry requiring parties to notify each 

other 90 days in advance of termination 

and 60 days in advance to FMCS (29 

U.S.C. 158(d)). This amendment also 

requires 30-day notification of 

bargaining for an initial agreement to 

the FMCS. To facilitate handling of 

more than 18,000 such notices a year, 

FMCS created a specific information 

collection form (see 29 CFR 1402.1). The 

purpose of this information collection 

activity is for FMCS to comply with its 

statutory duty to receive these notices, 

to facilitate assignment of mediators to 

assist in labor disputes, and to assist the 

parties in knowing whether or not 

proper notice was given. The 

information from these notices is sent 

electronically to the appropriate field 

manager who assigns the cases to a 

mediator so that the mediator may 

contact labor and management quickly, 

efficiently, and offer dispute resolution 

services. The F–7 form was created to 

allow FMCS to gather desired 

information in a uniform manner. The 

collection of such information, 

including the name of the employer or 

employer association, address and 

phone number, e-mail address, official 

contact, bargaining unit and 

establishment size, location of affected 

establishment and negotiations, 

industry or type of business, principal 

product or service, union address, 

phone number, e-mail address and 

official contact, contract expiration date 

or renewal date, whether the notice is 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with MISCELLANEOUS
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 83 / Tuesday, May 1, 2007 / Notices 23819 

on file on behalf of the employer or the 

union, and whether this is a health care 

industry notice for an initial contract, is 

critical for reporting and mediation 

purposes. 

Burden Statement: The current 

annual burden estimate is 

approximately 18,000 respondents. This 

one-page form takes about 10 minutes to 

complete. 

II. Request for Comments 

FMCS solicits comments to: 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

(ii) Enhance the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information. 

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

(iv) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic 

collection technologies or other forms of 

information technology.
