arbitration decisions rather than their 

full text, which are sometimes quite 

lengthy. This saves publishing costs for 

the Department and time for interested 

members of the public. The Department 

has also provided copies of full 

arbitration panel decisions to members 

of the public upon request. 

The time it took to draft these 

synopses resulted in a publishing 

backlog, however. Therefore, the 

Department has decided to change its 

practice in a way that will allow it to 

comply with the statutory requirement 

for publication and to provide the text 

of the arbitration panel decisions to the 

public more quickly and conveniently 

and at minimal cost to the Department. 

The Department will now make the 

full text of arbitration panel decisions 

under the Act available on the 

Department’s Web site, and we will add 

older, archived decisions as they 

become available in the proper format 

and are made accessible to individuals 

with disabilities under section 508 of 

the Rehabilitation Act. The decisions 

will be searchable by key terms and 

available for download in Adobe 

Acrobat (.pdf) format. The Department 

will continue to provide copies of 

decisions to members of the public 

upon request to the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

In the future, shortly after the end of 

every calendar quarter–March 31, June 

30, September 30, and December 31–the 

Department will publish a notice in the 

Federal Register listing arbitration 

decisions issued in the previous three

will provide a link to the Web site 

where the decisions may be found and

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner;

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records.
