AGENDA: The agenda at the meetings of both Advisory Committee Panels 
will be:
    (1) The experience to date with the Board's one-year experimental 
rule (59 FR 65942) authorizing the use of settlement judges and 
providing administrative law judges with the discretion to dispense 
with briefs and issue bench decisions, and whether, in light of that 
experience, the rule should be extended or made permanent following its 
January 31, 1996 expiration date.
    (2) Whether the Board should eliminate or limit the practice of 
permitting interlocutory requests for special permission to appeal in 
unfair labor practice and representation cases.
    (3) How the Agency's procedures should otherwise be further 
streamlined or modified in response to potential budgetary 
restrictions.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: The meetings will be open to the public. As
