The FLRA Issues a Final Rule Regarding In-Person Filing with the Authority’s Office of Case Intake and Publication.
Today, the Federal Labor Relations Authority (the FLRA) issued a Federal Register Notice
adopting a final rule concerning documents filed with the Authority, the FLRA’s three-Member
decisional component, through the Authority’s Office of Case Intake and Publication (CIP).
Specifically, the final rule revises 5 C.F.R. § 2429.24(a) to specify that, if parties wish to file
documents with CIP in person, then they must schedule an appointment at least one business day
in advance.
The final rule also makes minor technical and formatting changes to § 2429.24(a), including
clarifying that documents filed with CIP through the FLRA’s electronic-filing system must be
filed no later than 11:59 p.m. EST on the date they are due. The final rule does not apply to
documents filed with the FLRA’s General Counsel, Regional Directors, or Administrative Law
Judges.
The final rule will take effect on December 18, 2023.
