exemption from this provision is 

necessary to protect the sources of law

could compromise national security.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

This modification will change the 

submission process of information 

collection request, Notice to Mediation 

Agency, (Agency Form F–7) from mailin to electronic submission. This 

revision is necessary to increase 

efficiency of FMCS both by allowing 

FMCS to receive Agency Form F–7’s 

more quickly, but also to reduce 

processing time. This will allow the 

Service to provide its services to the 

parties more quickly. This revision will 

also remove the language which 

includes the verbiage of the Form-F7, to 

allow for FMCS to modify the form, if 

necessary, without necessitating 

additional rule change. 

II. Authority for This Rulemaking 

FMCS’ authority to issue rules is 

found in 29 U.S.C. 172 of Taft Harley 

Act of 1947. This regulation is within 

the scope of that authority. 

III. Comments Invited 

FMCS solicits comments to 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

change of submission from mail-in to 

electronic is necessary, including 

whether the change will have practical 

utility. 

(ii) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collection 

submission process. 

(iii) Minimize the burden of the 

collections of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic 

collection technologies or other forms of 

information technology. 

IV. Discussion of Proposed 

Amendments Section by Section 

The following describes the specific 

changes proposed by this rulemaking: 

• FMCS revises the language ‘‘shall 

be in writing.’’ to ‘‘electronically via a 

platform provided by FMCS. If 

electronic submission creates an undue 

hardship, the filer may contact the 

FMCS Notice Processing office to 

explain the circumstances and receive 

assistance.’’ 

• FMCS revises the language ‘‘The 

following Form F–7, for use by the 

parties in filing a notice of dispute, has 

been prepared by the Service:’’ to ‘‘The 

Form F–7, for use by the parties in filing 

a notice of dispute, has been prepared 

by the Service.’’ 

• FMCS removes the form titled 

‘‘Notice to Mediation Agencies’’. 

List of Subjects in 29 CFR Part 1402 

Information Collection Requests.

Stat. 250, sec. 203, 61 Stat. 153; 5 U.S.C. 552, 

29 U.S.C. 172, 173. 

■ 2. Revise § 1402.1 to read as follows: 

§ 1402.1 Notice of Dispute.

Federal Mediation and Conciliation 

Service pursuant to the provisions of

receive assistance. The Form F–7, for 

use by the parties in filing a notice of 

dispute, has been prepared by the
