SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Labor Relations Board will hold 
an open public meeting on Monday, July 18, 2011, from 9 a.m. until 4 
p.m. A second day of meetings may be scheduled for Tuesday, July 19, 
2011, if necessary. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the purpose of the 
meeting will be to allow interested persons to participate in the 
rulemaking through oral presentation on the proposed amendments to the 
Board's rules governing representation-case procedures and to make any 
other proposals for improving representation case procedures.
    On June 22, 2011, the NLRB published a Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (NPRM) (76 FR 15307), proposing to amend its rules and 
regulations governing the filing and processing of petitions relating 
to the representation of employees for purposes of collective 
bargaining with their employer. In addition to the comment procedure 
outlined in the NPRM, the NLRB is providing another opportunity for 
interested persons to provide their views to the Board on this 
important matter at the open public meeting.
    Persons desiring to attend the meeting must notify the NLRB staff, 
in writing, at the above listed physical or e-mail address, by the 
deadline posted. If the person desires to make a presentation to the 
Board at the meeting, he or she is required to submit a brief outline 
of the presentation when making the request. In lieu of making an oral 
presentation, or in addition to such a presentation, interested persons 
may submit a written statement for the record or utilize the comment 
process described in the NPRM.
    To attend the meeting, all potential attendees must include in 
their request: (1) Their full name, (2) organizational affiliation (if 
any), and (3), if they are appearing in a representative capacity, the 
names of any individuals or organizations on whose behalf they are 
appearing. Attendees are reminded to bring a photo identification card 
with them to the public meeting in order to gain admittance to the 
building. Due to the time and potential space limitations in the 
meeting room, the NLRB will notify persons of their attendance and/or 
speaking status (i.e., preliminary date and time for their 
presentation) prior to the meeting. Time allocation for oral 
presentations will depend upon the number of persons who desire to make 
presentations to the Board. Persons making oral presentations should be 
prepared to summarize their written statements, if any, at the meeting. 
In the event that there are more requests for oral presentations than 
there are available time slots, the Board will allocate the available 
time slots in an effort to insure that a variety of viewpoints are 
represented at the hearing and that both individuals and organizations 
possessing substantial experience with and expertise concerning the 
Board's representation case procedures and members of the general 
public are heard. Subject to such allocations, available time slots 
will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis.
    Agenda: The meeting will be limited to issues related to the 
proposed amendments to the Board's rules governing representation-case 
procedures and other proposals for improving representation case 
procedures. A copy of the NPRM may also be obtained from the NLRB's Web 
site at: http://www.nlrb.gov/nprm.

    Dated: June 21, 2011.
Wilma B. Liebman,
Chairman.
