SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The National Mediation Board will hold an 
open public hearing on Thursday, March 28, 2019, from 10 a.m. until 4 
p.m. The purpose of the hearing will be to solicit views of interested 
persons concerning proposed rule changes. On Thursday, January 31, 
2019, the NMB issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) (84 FR 
612), proposing to amend its rules in relation to decertifying 
representatives. These rule changes are proposed to be codified at 29 
CFR part 1206. In addition to the comment procedure outlined in the 
NPRM, the NMB is providing another opportunity for interested persons 
to provide their views to the Board on this important matter.
    Individuals desiring to attend the hearing must notify the NMB 
staff, in writing, at the above listed physical or email address no 
later than 4p.m. EDT on March 22, 2019. If the individual desires to 
make a presentation to the Board at the hearing, he or she is required 
to submit a brief outline of the presentation when making the request. 
In addition, a full written statement must be submitted no later than 4 
p.m. on Friday, March 22, 2019. In lieu of making an oral presentation, 
individuals may submit a written statement for the record.
    To attend the hearing, all potential attendees must include in 
their request: (1) Their full name and (2) organizational affiliation 
(if any). Attendees are reminded to bring a photo identification card 
with them to the public hearing in order to gain admittance to the 
building. Due to the time and potential space limitations in the 
hearing room, the NMB will notify individuals of their attendance and/
or speaking status (i.e., preliminary time for their presentation) 
prior to the hearing. Individuals should be prepared to summarize their 
written statements at the hearing.
    Agenda: The hearing will be limited to issues related to the NMB's 
proposed rule changes appearing in the Federal Register on January 31, 
2019 at 84 FR 612.

    Dated: February 26, 2019.
Mary Johnson,
General Counsel, National Mediation Board.
