SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Labor Relations Board will hold

The purpose of the meeting will be to vote on how to proceed in this

    On June 22, 2011, the NLRB published a Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (NPRM) (76 FR 36812), 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 provided another opportunity for 
interested persons to provide their views to the Board on this 
important matter at an open public meeting. This public meeting was 
held on July 18-19, 2011, with 66 witnesses testifying before the 
Board. Thereafter, the deadline for filing initial public comments was 
August 22, 2011, and the deadline for filing reply comments was 
September 6, 2011. Over 65,000 written comments have been received and 
analyzed. The Board must now decide how to proceed in this matter.
    Persons desiring to attend the meeting must notify the NLRB staff, 
in writing, at the above listed physical or email address, by the 
deadline posted. 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 space limitations in the meeting 
room, an overflow room has been established in the Margaret A. Browning 
Hearing Room (Room 11000), where persons will be able to observe the 
meeting by video conference. The meeting will also be available for 
viewing on the Internet.
    Agenda: The meeting will be limited to issues related to the 
proposed amendments to the Board's rules governing 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: November 18, 2011.
Mark Gaston Pearce,
Chairman.
