FEDERAL MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION SERVICE


Labor-Management Relations Information Collection Requests

AGENCY: Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.

ACTION: Submission for OMB Review: Request for Comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) hereby 
announces the submission of the following public information collection 
requests (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review 
and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(Pub. L. 104-13). The information collection requests are FMCS forms: 
Arbitrator's Report and Fee Statement (Agency Form R-19), Arbitrator's 
Personal Data Questionnaire (Agency Form R-22), and Request for 
Arbitration Services (Agency Form R-43). These information collection 
requests were assigned the OMB control numbers 3076-0001, 3076-0002, 
and 3076-0003. These information collections will be used to collect 
information to determine applicant suitability for the arbitration 
roster, to monitor the work of arbitrators, and to collect information 
that facilitates the processing of arbitration requests.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluates the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden 
of the proposed collection of information;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those 
who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic collection technologies or other forms of information 
technology.
    Burden: FMCS receives approximately 150 responses per year to the 
Arbitrator's Personal Data Questionnaire (OMB No. 3076-001); 3,000 
responses per year to the Arbitrator's Report and Fee Statement (OMB 
No. 3076-0003); and 16,000 responses per year to the Request for 
Arbitration Panel form (OMB No. 3076-0002).
    Affected Entities: Individuals who apply for admission to the FMCS 
Roster of Arbitrators; arbitrators who render decisions under FMCS 
arbitration policies and procedures; and employers, labor unions, and 
their representatives who request arbitration services.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 19, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to: E-mail: [email protected]. Please include the FMCS form numbers, the 
information collection title, and the OMB control number in the subject 
line of the message. Comments may also be sent to fax number 202-395-
5806 to the attention of Desk Officer for FMCS.

60-day notice published in the Federal Register at Vol. 76 No. 93 on
