29 CFR Ch. I

Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions

AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The National Labor Relations Board is publishing its 
semiannual regulatory agenda pursuant to section 4(b) of Executive 
Order 12866. The agenda contains all rulemakings which have been 
completed since the last agenda was published or which are still 
pending or scheduled for consideration during the next 12 months.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John J. Toner, Executive Secretary, 
National Labor Relations Board, 1099 14th Street NW., Suite 11600, 
Washington, DC 20570; telephone (202) 273-1940.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board identified three rulemakings for 
inclusion in the last agenda. The Board1 has since withdrawn 
all three rulemakings from active consideration, however, given that no 
action had been taken by the Board on the rulemakings for several years 
and the Board's determination to focus its time and resources on 
reducing the backlog of adjudicated cases pending before the Board. 
Thus, the three rulemaking proceedings listed below have been 
withdrawn.


1 Members Fox, Liebman, Hurtgen, and Brame. Chairman Gould 
agreed with his colleagues to withdraw the rulemaking proceedings 
regarding representation case procedures and standardized remedial 
provisions in Board unfair labor practice decisions but dissented from 
the withdrawal of the rulemaking proceeding regarding the 
appropriateness of single location bargaining units in representation 
cases.

Dated, Washington, DC, February 18, 1998.

By direction of the Board.

John J. Toner,

Executive Secretary.

4354. APPROPRIATENESS OF REQUESTED SINGLE LOCATION BARGAINING UNITS IN 
REPRESENTATION CASES

Abstract: The Board published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking

The Board sought to promulgate a rule or rules to limit to the extent

for single facility units in each case. However, a rider attached to 
the 1996, 1997, and 1998 appropriations bills prohibits the Agency from 
expending any funds to

promulgate a final rule, and on February 18, 1998, the Board (Members 
Fox, Liebman, Hurtgen, and Brame; Chairman Gould dissenting) 
indefinitely withdrew the notice of proposed rulemaking from active 
consideration.
