Posting in Final Form of Three
Documents Created by Subcommittees
of the Interagency ADR Working Group
(‘‘IADRWG’’) Steering Committee
(‘‘Steering Committee’’), a Group Of
Federal Subject Matter Experts
SUMMARY: The first document,
‘‘Protecting the Confidentiality of
Dispute Resolution Proceedings: A
Guide for Federal Workplace ADR
Program Administrators’’
(‘‘Confidentiality Guide’’), provides
practical guidance to program
administrators on the application of the
confidentiality provisions of the
Administrative Dispute Resolution Act
of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 574, to Federal
workplace dispute resolution programs.
The second document is the ‘‘Guide for
Federal Employee Mediators’’ (a
supplementation and annotation of the
2005 Model Standards of Conduct for
Mediators issued by the American
Arbitration Association, American Bar
Association, and the Association for
Conflict Resolution), which is for use by
federal employee mediators. The third
document is the ‘‘Guide for Federal
Employee Ombuds’’ (a supplementation
and annotation of the Standards for the
Establishment and Operations of
Ombuds Offices issued on February 9,
2004 by the American Bar Association),
prepared by the Steering Committee in
conjunction with the Coalition for
Federal Ombudsmen, for use by federal
employee ombuds. Complete copies of
each of the three final documents can be
found at the IADRWG Web site,
https://www.adr.gov (click on
‘‘Guidance’’), or may be requested in

In a Notice in the 70 FR 67901, Nov.
9, 2005, the Steering Committee invited
interested individuals or organizations
to submit comments, within 30 days, on
the documents for consideration before
they were posted in final form.
Complete copies of the three draft
guides to which the comments were
addressed, as well as a summary of the
comments received and disposition
thereof for each guide, are posted at
https://www.adr.gov (click on ‘‘Library/
Archives’’).
Authority: The Administrative
Dispute Resolution Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C.
571–584, requires each Federal agency
to promote the use of ADR and calls for
the establishment of an interagency
committee to assist agencies in the use
of ADR. Under this Act, a Presidential
Memorandum dated May 1, 1998
created the Interagency ADR Working
Group, chaired by the Attorney General,
to ‘‘facilitate, encourage, and provide
coordination’’ for Federal agencies. In
the Memorandum, the President
charged the Working Group with
assisting agencies with training in ‘‘how
to use alternative means of dispute
resolution’’. The three documents are
designed to serve this goal.
Executive Overview of the
Confidentiality Guide: This document
provides practical guidance to Federal
administrators on the application of the
confidentiality provisions of the
Administrative Dispute Resolution Act
of 1996 to Federal workplace dispute
resolution programs. It extends the
guidance issued by the Federal ADR
Council, Report on the Reasonable
Expectations of Confidentiality Under
the Administrative Dispute Resolution
Act of 1996, 5 FR 83085, Dec. 29, 2000
(‘‘the 2000 ADR Guidance’’), which also
may be found at https://www.adr.gov
(click on ‘‘Guidance’’), and is designed
to be used in concert with the
confidentiality provisions of the ADR
Act as well as agency confidentiality
policies and guidance. The document
describes in practical, non-legal terms
the nature and limits of confidentiality
in Federal ADR proceedings, and
provides suggestions to program
administrators on how to ensure
appropriate confidentiality is
maintained when ADR is used in
workplace programs. The topics
addressed by the Guide include
confidentiality during the various stages
of an alternative dispute resolution
proceeding, confidentiality agreements,
record-keeping, program evaluation,

Executive Overview of the Guide for
Federal Employee Mediators: This
document builds upon the 2005 Model
Standards of Conduct for Mediators
(‘‘Model Standards’’) issued by a joint
committee of three major nationwide
dispute resolution organizations
(American Arbitration Association,
American Bar Association, and
Association for Conflict Resolution).
The Guide sets forth the Model
Standards in their entirety and provides
further explication through Federal
Guidance Notes for Federal employee
mediators for mediations they undertake
for the Federal government. The Federal
Guidance Notes include discussion of
impartiality, conflicts of interest,
confidentiality, and advertising and
solicitation.
Executive Overview of the Guide for
Federal Employee Ombuds: This
document builds upon the February 9,
2004 Standards for the Establishment
and Operations of Ombuds Offices
(‘‘Ombuds Standards’’) issued by the
American Bar Association. The Guide
sets forth the Ombuds Standards in their
entirety and provides supplementation
through Federal Guidance Notes for
specific areas unique to federal Ombuds
practice. The Federal Guidance Notes
include discussion of limitations on
ombuds’ authority, confidentiality,
reporting, and record-keeping.
