SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice advises of the establishment of 
the GLMRC in compliance with Executive Order 13522, and is published in 
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(Pub L. 92-463).
    The purpose of the GLMRC is to promote collaboration between 
managers and employees, through their exclusive representatives, for 
continued delivery of the highest quality services to the American 
taxpayer. The GLMRC, serving as a complement to the existing collective 
bargaining process, will provide a non-adversarial forum for management 
and employees' exclusive representatives to discuss workplace 
challenges and problems and endeavor to develop solutions jointly. The 
GLMRC will seek to provide advice that allows employees through their 
exclusive representatives to have pre-decisional involvement (PDI) in 
all workplace matters to the fullest extent practicable and by making a 
good-faith attempt to resolve concerns related to any proposed changes 
in conditions of employment, including those involving the subjects set 
forth in 5 U.S.C. 7106(b)(1). The GLMRC will evaluate and document 
changes in employee satisfaction, labor-management relations climate, 
and organizational performance. The GLMRC is a non-discretionary FACA 
committee. The functions of the GLMRC are advisory only.
    An individual who is a Federally-registered lobbyist in their 
individual capacity may not serve on the GLMRC. GLMRC members will not 
receive compensation. Travel reimbursements are permitted. The meetings 
are open to public observers, unless prior notice has been provided for 
a closed meeting.
    Nominations for Advisory Committee Appointment: There is no 
prescribed format for nominations. Individuals may nominate themselves 
or other individuals. A nomination package should include the following 
information for each nominee: (1) A letter of nomination stating the 
name, affiliation, and contact information for the nominee, membership 
capacity he/she will serve, nominee's field(s) of expertise,

professional biography or resume of the nominee; and (3) the name, 
return address, email address, and daytime telephone number at which 
the nominator can be contacted. GSA will consider nominations of all 
qualified individuals, to ensure that the GLMRC includes the areas of 
labor management subject matter expertise needed. Potential candidates 
may be asked to provide detailed information concerning financial 
interests that might be affected by recommendations of the GLMRC to 
permit evaluation of possible sources of conflicts of interest. The 
nomination period for interested candidates will close 30 days after 
publication of this notice. All nominations should be submitted in 
sufficient time to be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on
