                Executive Order 13670 of June 14, 2014

                
Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate 
                Disputes Between the Southeastern Pennsylvania 
                Transportation Authority and Certain of Its Employees 
                Represented by Certain Labor Organizations

                Disputes exist between the Southeastern Pennsylvania 
                Transportation Authority (SEPTA) and certain of its 
                employees represented by certain labor organizations. 
                The labor organizations involved in these disputes are 
                designated on the attached list, which is made part of 
                this order.

                The disputes heretofore have not been adjusted under 
                the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, 45 
                U. S. C. 151-188 (RLA).

                A party empowered by the RLA has requested that the 
                President establish an emergency board pursuant to 
                section 9A of the RLA (45 U. S. C. 159a).

                Section 9A(c) of the RLA provides that the President, 
                upon such request, shall appoint an emergency board to 
                investigate and report on the disputes.

                NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as 
                President by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, including section 9A of the RLA, it is 
                hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Establishment of Emergency Board (Board). 
                There is established, effective 12:01 a.m. eastern 
                daylight time on June 15, 2014, a Board of three 
                members to be appointed by the President to investigate 
                and report on these disputes. No member shall be 
                pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any organization 
                of railroad employees or any carrier. The Board shall 
                perform its functions subject to the availability of 
                funds.

                Sec. 2. Report. The Board shall report to the President 
                with respect to the disputes within 30 days of its 
                creation.

                Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by section 
                9A(c) of the RLA, for 120 days from the date of the 
                creation of the Board, no change in the conditions out 
                of which the disputes arose shall be made by the 
                parties to the controversy, except by agreement of the 
                parties.

                Sec. 4. Records Maintenance. The records and files of 
                the Board are records of the Office of the President 
                and upon the Board's termination shall be maintained in 
                the physical custody of the National Mediation Board.

                Sec. 5. Expiration. The Board shall terminate upon the
