E6–6433 Filed 4–27–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7536–01–P NATIONAL MEDIATION BOARD Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests National Mediation Board. SUMMARY: The Director, Office of Administration, invites comments on the proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments within 30 days from the date of this publication. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (U.S.C. chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal law, or substantially interfere with any agency’s ability to perform its statutory obligations. The Chief Information Officer, Finance and Administration Department, publishes that notice containing proposed information collection requests prior to submission of these requests to OMB. Each proposed information collection contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g. new, revision extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4) Description of the need for, and proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Record keeping burden. OMB invites public comment. Currently, the National Mediation Board is soliciting comments concerning the new collection of information in the form of Request for Arbitration Panel for Airline System Boards of Adjustment, Request for Public Law Board Member, Arbitration Services-Pay Voucher for Personal Services, Arbitration Services-Official Travel/Referee Compensation Authorization, Neutral’s Report of Activity Arbitration Services-Personal Data Sheet and is interested in public jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:14 Apr 27, 2006 Jkt 208001 Dated: April 25, 2006. June D.W. King, Director, Office of Administration, National Mediation Board. A. Request for Arbitration Panel for Airline System Boards of Adjustment Type of Review: New Collection. Title: Request for Arbitration Panel for Airlines System Boards of Adjustment. Frequency: On occasion. Affected Public: Airline Carrier and Union Officials. Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: Estimate about 80 annually. Burden Hours: 20. Abstract: Section 183 of the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C., 183, provides that the parties to the labor-management disputes in the airline industry must have a procedure for the resolution of disputes involving the interpretation or application of provisions of the collective bargaining agreement. The Railway Labor Act mentions system board of adjustment or arbitration boards as the mechanism for resolution and is silent as to how the neutral arbitrator is to be selected if the parties are unable to agree on an individual. The National Mediation Board provides panels of arbitrators to help the parties in their selection of an arbitrator. This form is necessary to assist the parties in this process. The parties invoke the process through the submission of this form. The brief information is necessary for the NMB to perform this important function. B. Request for Public Law Board Member Type of Review: New Collection. Title: Request for Public Law Board Member. Frequency: On occasion. Affected Public: Carrier and Union Officials of railroads. Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: Estimate 15 annually. Burden Hours: 3.75. Abstract: Section 153, Second, of the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C. 153, PO 00000 Frm 00116 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Second, governs procedures to be followed by carriers and representatives of employees in the establishment and functioning of special adjustment boards. These special adjustment boards are referred to as public law boards (board). The statute provides that within thirty (30) days from the date a written request is made by an employee representative or carrier official for the establishment of a board, an agreement establishing such board shall be made. If, however, one party fails to designate a member of the board, the party making the request may ask the NMB to designate a member on behalf of the other party. The NMB must designate the representative who, together with the other party constitutes the public board. It will be the task of these two individuals to decide on the terms of the agreement. If these individuals are unable to decide upon the terms, the Railway Labor Act provides that one of these parties may request that the NMB designate a neutral to resolve the remaining matters which are procedural issues. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1207.2, requests for the NMB to appoint either representatives or neutrals must be made on printed forms which may be secured from the NMB. This form is necessary for the NMB to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. Without this information, the NMB would not be able to assist the railroad labor and management representatives in resolving disputes, which is contrary to the intent of the Railway Labor Act. C. Arbitration Services—Official Travel/Referee Compensation Authorization Type of Review: New Collection. Title: Arbitration Services—Official Travel/Referee Compensation Authorization. Frequency: On occasion. Affected Public: Arbitrators. Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: Approximately 624 annually. Burden Hours: 156. Abstract: Section 153, First and Second of the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C. 153, First and Second, provide that the NMB shall compensate arbitrators who resolve the resolves under these sections of the Act. The arbitrator must submit a written request, in advance, for authorization to be compensated for work to be performed. The arbitrator must obtain authorization before performing work. This form is the request and is necessary for the NMB to fulfill its financial responsibilities. E:\FR\FM\28APN1.SGM 28APN1
