Authority; Withdrawal of Notice

AGENCY: Federal Labor Relations Authority.

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of the request (65 FR 13763) for amicus 
curiae briefs in a proceeding before the Federal Labor Relations 
Authority.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Labor Relations Authority had previously invited 
all interested parties to file briefs as amici curiae on significant 
issues arising in a case pending before the Authority. Because that 
case is no longer pending, the Authority withdraws its requests for 
briefs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 14, 2000, the Authority issued a 
notice, which was published in the Federal Register on March 14, 2000 
(65 FR 13763), inviting interested parties to submit briefs in a 
proceeding before the Federal Labor Relations Authority in which the 
Authority has been asked to reconsider how management's statutory 
rights to direct employees and to assign work should be interpreted in 
relation to proposals that establish the number of performance rating 
levels for individual job elements and summary ratings. After this 
notice was published, the agency withdrew its allegation of non-
negotiability, and the union withdrew its petition for review of 
negotiability issues. Accordingly, on March 27, the Authority dismissed 
the case and no longer requests amicus briefs.

    Dated: March 28, 2000.

    For the Authority.
Peter Constantine,
Director of Case Control.
