NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS

BOARD

Order Delegating Authority to the

General Counsel Before Chairman

Peter J. Hurtgen, and Members Wilma

B. Liebman and Dennis P. Walsh

December 14, 2001.

The Board anticipates that in the near

future it may for a temporary period

have fewer than three Members of its

statutorily-prescribed full complement

of five Members.1 The Board also

recognizes that it has a continuing

responsibility to fulfill its statutory

obligations in the most effective and

efficient manner possible. To assure that

the Agency will be able to meet its

obligations to the public, the Board has

decided to temporarily delegate to the

General Counsel full authority on all

court litigation matters that would

otherwise require Board authorization.

This delegation shall be effective during

any time at which the Board has fewer

than three Members and is made under

the authority granted to the Board under

sections 3, 4, 6, and 10 of the National

Labor Relations Act.

Accordingly, the Board delegates to

the General Counsel full and final

authority and responsibility on behalf of

the Board to initiate and prosecute

injunction proceedings under section

10(j) or section 10(e) and (f) of the Act,

contempt proceedings pertaining to the

enforcement of or compliance with any

order of the Board, and any other court

litigation that would otherwise require

Board authorization; and to institute

and conduct appeals to the Supreme

Court by writ of error or on petition for

certiorari. This delegation shall be

revoked whenever the Board has at least

three Members.

This delegation relates to the internal

management of the National Labor

Relations Board and is therefore,

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, exempt from

the notice and comment requirements of

the Administrative Procedure Act.

Further, public notice and comment is

impractical because of the immediate

need for Board action. The public

interest requires that this delegation

take effect immediately.
