NATIONAL MEDIATION BOARD


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Mediation Board (NMB).

SUMMARY: The Director, Office of Administration, invites comments on 
the proposed information collection requests as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments within 30 days 
from the date of this publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an 
early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB 
may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the 
extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat 
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal 
law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform 
its statutory obligations. The Director, Office of Administration, 
publishes that notice containing proposed information collection 
requests prior to submission of these requests to OMB. Each proposed 
information collection contains the following: (1) Type of review 
requested, e.g., new, revision extension, existing or reinstatement; 
(2) Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4) Description of the need 
for, and proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and 
frequency of collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. 
OMB invites public comment.
    Currently, the National Mediation Board is soliciting comments 
concerning the proposed extension of the Application for Mediation 
Services and is interested in public comment addressing the following 
issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the 
agency; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely 
manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the 
agency enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (5) how might the agency minimize the burden of this 
collection on the respondents, including through the use of information 
technology.

    Dated: December 30, 2008.
June D. W. King,
Director, Office of Administration, National Mediation Board.
