NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD


Realignment of Regional Office Geographic Boundaries

October 25, 2000.
AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.

ACTION: Notice of geographical realignment of Philadelphia (Region 4), 
Pittsburgh (Region 6) and Baltimore (Region 5) Regional Offices.

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

SUMMARY: The National Labor Relations Board gives notice of its intent 
to realign the geographic boundaries of its Philadelphia, Pittsburgh 
and Baltimore Regional Offices. This realignment is being effectuated 
in order to meet the objective of reducing the backlog of unfair labor 
practice and representation cases, reducing governmental costs and 
improving administrative efficiency within the Agency. This constitutes 
a permanent realignment of counties that have already been the subject 
of temporary geographic realignment for periods of time ranging from 
one year to several years.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 1, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John T. Toner, Executive Secretary, 
1099 14th Street, NW., Room 1600, Washington, DC 20570. Telephone: 
(202) 273-1944.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Beginning December 1, 2000, parties wishing 
to file unfair labor practice charges and representation petitions 
arising in 15 counties formerly within the geographic jurisdiction of 
the Philadelphia office will file in either the Pittsburgh or the 
Baltimore office according to the following design.
    1. Cases originating in New Castle County, Delaware will be filed 
in the Baltimore office in Region 5 rather than in the Philadelphia 
office in Region 4. Cases originating in these counties have been 
handled by the Baltimore Regional Office on a temporary basis for a 
period of approximately one year.
    2. Cases arising in the counties of Lycoming, Sullivan, Union, 
Montour, Snyder, Juniata, Dauphin, Northumberland, Lebanon, Schuylkill, 
Columbia and Perry will be filed in our Pittsburgh office in Region 6 
rather than in our Philadelphia office in Region 4. Cases originating 
in these counties have been handled on a temporary basis for periods 
ranging from one to three years.
    3. Cases originating in Bradford and Tioga Counties will be filed 
with our Pittsburgh office in Region 6 rather than with our 
Philadelphia office in Region 4. Cases originating in these counties 
have been handled on a temporary basis for a period of three years by 
our Albany, New York office in Region 3.

    Dated: Washington, DC, October 25, 2000.
