FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS AUTHORITY – WASHINGTON, DC 20424
Contact: Eric Prag FLRA.gov FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 717-444-5859 February 15, 2024
The FLRA Issues a Final Rule Reflecting Certain Address and Phone Number Changes and Eliminating the Requirement That Parties File 4 Copies of Documents
Due primarily to budgetary constraints, the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) is
consolidating its headquarters office space at 1400 K Street, NW, Washington, D.C., so that
offices currently on two floors of that address will be on a single floor. Therefore, today, the
FLRA issued a Federal Register notice adopting a final rule to update the contact information for
the affected offices, and to update other offices’ contact information that has changed since the
FLRA’s last relevant regulatory update.
Additionally, as part of its continued move towards fully electronic case files, and to alleviate
parties’ filing burdens, the FLRA is amending 5 C.F.R. § 2429.25(a) to eliminate the
requirement that parties file four copies of original documents with the FLRA’s three-Member,
decisional component (through the Office of Case Intake and Publication); Office of the General
Counsel; Office of Administrative Law Judges; Regional Directors; and Hearing Officers.
The final rule will take effect on March 1, 2024.
