FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS AUTHORITY

5 CFR Chapter XIV


New Addresses and Telephone Numbers for Regional Offices; 
Jurisdictional Changes

AGENCY: Federal Labor Relations Authority.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document amends regulations of the Federal Labor 
Relations Authority and the General Counsel of the Federal Labor 
Relations Authority to reflect changes in the addresses and phone 
numbers of Regional Offices, and to provide for changes in the 
geographical jurisdictions of five of the seven Regional Directors 
concerning unfair labor practice charges and representation petitions.

DATES: Effective June 16, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter A. Sutton, Deputy General 
Counsel, Federal Labor Relations Authority, Washington DC 20424, (202) 
218-7741.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective January 28, 1980, the Authority 
and the General Counsel published, at 45 FR 3482, January 17, 1980, 
final rules and regulations to govern the processing of cases by the 
Authority and the General Counsel under chapter 71 of title 5 of the 
United States Code. These rules and regulations are required by title 
VII of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and are set forth in 5 CFR 
Part 2400 et seq. (2014).
    Paragraph (d) of Appendix A to 5 CFR Chapter XIV sets forth the 
current addresses, telephone and fax numbers of the Regional Offices of 
the Authority. This paragraph has been updated to reflect changes in 
the addresses and/or phone numbers of the Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, 
Denver and San Francisco Regional Offices and the phone numbers of the 
Chicago and Dallas Regional Offices.
    Paragraph (f) of Appendix A to 5 CFR Chapter XIV sets forth the 
geographic jurisdictions of the Regional Directors of the Authority. In 
the interest of maximizing the resources of the Office of the General 
Counsel and efficient and effective case processing, the General 
Counsel is realigning the geographical jurisdictions of the Regional 
Directors to more evenly distribute case intake and optimize efficiency 
and economy. The Office of the General Counsel will continue to 
transfer cases between regions on a recurring basis, as necessary, 
based on case intake and staffing in order to maximize its resources.
    This amendment merely updates the regulations to reflect the 
current organizational structure of the Federal Labor Relations 
Authority. As this rule pertains to agency organization, procedure, or 
practice, it is exempt from prior notice and public comment pursuant to 
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). For this same reason, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
553(d)(3), the agency finds that good cause exists for not providing a 
more delayed effective date. This type of action is also exempt from 
review under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 
13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
