FEDERAL MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION SERVICE
Labor-Management Relations Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
ACTION: Submission for OMB Review: Request for Comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), hereby
announces the submission of the following public information collection
requests (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review
and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104-13). The information collection requests are FMCS forms:
Arbitrator's Report and Fee Statement (Agency Form R-19; OMB control
number 3076-0003), Arbitrator's Personal Data Questionnaire (Agency
Form R-22; OMB control number 3076-0001), and Request for Arbitration
Panel (Agency Form R-43; OMB control number 3076-0002). No comments
were received pursuant to FMCS's prior 60-day notice in the Federal
Register on April 28, 2015.
These information collection requests were previously approved by
OMB and we are requesting their reinstatement without change to the
collections. These information collections will be used to collect
information to determine applicant suitability for the arbitration
roster, to monitor the work of arbitrators, and to collect information
that facilitates the processing of arbitration requests.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluates the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden
of the proposed collection information;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(4) Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those
who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic collection technologies or other forms of information
technology.
Burden: FMCS receives approximately 100 responses per year to the
Arbitrator's Personal Data Questionnaire (OMB No. 3076-001); 1,984
responses per year to the Arbitrator's Report and Fee Statement (OMB
No. 3076-0003); and 13,179 responses per year to the Request for
Arbitration Panel form (OMB No. 3076-0002).
Affected Entities: Individuals who apply for admission to the FMCS
Roster of Arbitrators; arbitrators who render decision under FMCS
arbitration policies and procedures; and employers, labor unions and
their representative who request arbitration services.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 20, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to: Email:
[email protected]. Please include the FMCS form numbers, the
information collection title and the OMB control number in the subject
line of your message. Comments may also be sent to fax number
