Semiannual Regulatory Agenda
AGENCY: Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS).
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY: This document sets forth the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service's (FMCS) regulatory agenda issued under Executive
Order 12866 and the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The agenda lists
regulations that are currently under development or review or that FMCS
expects to have under development or review during the next 12 months.
The effect of this agenda is to advise the public of FMCS' current and
future regulatory activities.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information on the agenda
in general, contact Arthur B. Pearlstein, General Counsel, Office of
the General Counsel, Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, at
(202) 606-5444. For information about a specific regulation project
listed on the agenda, contact the person designated in the agenda for
that regulation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the President's order on Regulatory
Planning and Review, Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993), each agency is required to prepare an agenda of all regulations
under development or review. The Regulatory Flexibility Act, Public Law
98-354, has a similar agenda requirement (5 U.S.C. 602). Under the law,
the agenda must list any regulation that is likely to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The Office of Management and Budget has issued guidelines
prescribing the form and content of the regulatory agenda. Under
those guidelines, the agenda must list all regulatory activities
being conducted or reviewed in the next 12 months and provide
certain specified information on each regulation. All of the items
on this agenda are current or projected rulemakings.
Dated: September 27, 2002.
Arthur B. Pearlstein,
General Counsel, FMCS.
