SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Labor Relations Board will hold
an open public meeting on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, at 2:30 p.m.
The purpose of the meeting will be to vote on how to proceed in this
rulemaking proceeding. No public testimony or comments will be

On June 22, 2011, the NLRB published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) (76 FR 36812), proposing to amend its rules and
regulations governing the filing and processing of petitions relating
to the representation of employees for purposes of collective
bargaining with their employer. In addition to the comment procedure
outlined in the NPRM, the NLRB provided another opportunity for
interested persons to provide their views to the Board on this
important matter at an open public meeting. This public meeting was
held on July 18-19, 2011, with 66 witnesses testifying before the
Board. Thereafter, the deadline for filing initial public comments was
August 22, 2011, and the deadline for filing reply comments was
September 6, 2011. Over 65,000 written comments have been received and
analyzed. The Board must now decide how to proceed in this matter.
Persons desiring to attend the meeting must notify the NLRB staff,
in writing, at the above listed physical or email address, by the
deadline posted. Attendees are reminded to bring a photo identification
card with them to the public meeting in order to gain

admittance to the building. Due to space limitations in the meeting
room, an overflow room has been established in the Margaret A. Browning
Hearing Room (Room 11000), where persons will be able to observe the
meeting by video conference. The meeting will also be available for
viewing on the Internet.
Agenda: The meeting will be limited to issues related to the
proposed amendments to the Board's rules governing representation-case
procedures. A copy of the NPRM may also be obtained from the NLRB's Web
site at: http://www.nlrb.gov/nprm.
Dated: November 18, 2011.
Mark Gaston Pearce,
Chairman.
