The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) intends to revise the regulations governing representation proceedings, as well as other related regulations, so as to provide parties in most cases with decisions from the Authority on all consequential issues in representation proceedings. Further, these changes will optimize the FLRA's workforce by streamlining the decision-making process in representation proceedings, consistent with E.O. 14,210. The FLRA finds that this interim final rule is not a substantive rule. Certain parts of this interim final rule concern interpretative rules, general statements of policy, or rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice. Other parts of this interim final rule concern minor or technical changes for which good cause exists to make notice and comment unnecessary.
