4243. RULES AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTIONS AND 
PETITIONS FOR ADVISORY OPINIONS

Priority:  Info./Admin./Other

Legal Authority:  29 USC 156

CFR Citation:  29 CFR 102.24

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: As part of its ongoing efforts to streamline its operations, 
the Board proposed to revise its rules and procedures to eliminate the 
notice-to-show-cause procedure in summary judgment cases and to remove 
provisions which permit parties to pending State proceedings to 
petition for an advisory opinion on whether the Board would assert 
jurisdiction under its commerce standards. The Board issued a final 
rule implementing the latter proposal regarding party petitions for 
advisory opinions effective January 10, 1997. The Board, however, 
withdrew for further study the former proposal regarding the notice-to-
show-cause procedure in summary judgment cases.
