Notice of administrative change in status of the Jacksonville, Florida Resident Office (Region 12) of the National Labor Relations Board, which will be closed and the area will be served by agents working from other locations. ACTION: The National Labor Relations Board is closing its Jacksonville, Florida Resident Office because it has determined that closing the office and serving the area with agents working at other locations, will result in significant savings while continuing to effectively serve the area currently served by this office.

Telephone: (202) 273–1067 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Labor Relations Board has decided to close its Jacksonville, Florida Resident Office. This change is prompted by an examination of the staffing, caseloads, and rental and operating costs for the Jacksonville office which has been occupied by only one employee for more than two years. Because of the declining intake in this area, it is not expected that additional employees would be added to this office in the foreseeable future. The employee who has been working in the Jacksonville office will be converted to a Resident Agent and will continue to perform the same work as now except that the employee will not work from an Agency office. When needed, this employee will be assisted by agents from the Agency’s Tampa office. This revision is nonsubstantive or merely procedural in nature. The Board expects no adverse impact on the quality of casehandling as a result of the office closure.

AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.

ACTION: Notice of administrative change in status of the Jacksonville, 
Florida Resident Office (Region 12) of the National Labor Relations 
Board, which will be closed and the area will be served by agents 
working from other locations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Labor Relations Board is closing its 
Jacksonville, Florida Resident Office because it has determined that 
closing the office and serving the area with agents working at other 
locations, will result in significant savings while continuing to 
effectively serve the area currently served by this office.

DATES: Effective Date: The change announced above with respect to the 
Jacksonville, Florida office will be effective December 1, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary Shinners, Executive Secretary,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Labor Relations Board has 
decided to close its Jacksonville, Florida Resident Office. This change 
is prompted by an examination of the staffing, caseloads, and rental 
and operating costs for the Jacksonville office which has been occupied 
by only one employee for more than two years. Because of the declining 
intake in this area, it is not expected that additional employees would 
be added to this office in the foreseeable future. The employee who has 
been working in the Jacksonville office will be converted to a Resident 
Agent and will continue to perform the same work as now except that the 
employee will not work from an Agency office. When needed, this 
employee will be assisted by agents from the Agency's Tampa office. 
This revision is nonsubstantive or merely procedural in nature. The 
Board expects no adverse impact on the quality of casehandling as a 
result of the office closure.
    Region 12, which handles cases arising in Florida, certain counties 
in Georgia, and Puerto Rico is headed by a Regional Director, who works 
in the Tampa, Florida Regional office and has full authority for the 
processing of both unfair labor practice and representation cases in 
that area. Currently, the other employees in this Region work in 
offices in Tampa, Miami, and Jacksonville, Florida and in San Juan, 
Puerto Rico. Under this proposal, all offices except the Jacksonville 
office will continue to be open. The geographical area covered by the 
Region will not be changed.
    The most recent list of Regional and Subregional Offices was 
published at 65 FR 53228-53229 on August 29, 2000, as amended at 78 FR 
44602-44603 on Wednesday, July 24, 2012.
    Concurrent with this Notice, the NLRB is revising its Statement of 
Organization and Functions to delete reference to the Jacksonville, 
Florida office as a place where persons can obtain service in Region 
12. The revision to the Board's Statement of Organization and Functions 
is attached.
    Since April 2014, the NLRB has solicited and received feedback on 
the proposed closure of the Jacksonville, Florida office. The decision 
to close this office and restructure the Agency's operations in the 
manner set forth here was informed by comments from stakeholders, 
members of Congress and Agency employees. Because this is a general 
notice that is related to the organization of the NLRB, it is not a 
regulation or rule subject to Executive Order 12866.
    Pursuant to the change set forth here, the National Labor Relations 
Board is amending its Statement of Organization and Functions as 
follows:
