Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 59 / Wednesday, March 27, 2013 / Notices
the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for
Records Disposition Authority. These
schedules provide for the timely transfer
into the National Archives of
historically valuable records and
authorize the disposal of all other
records after the agency no longer needs
them to conduct its business. Some
schedules are comprehensive and cover
all the records of an agency or one of its
major subdivisions. Most schedules,
however, cover records of only one
office or program or a few series of
records. Many of these update
previously approved schedules, and
some include records proposed as
permanent.
The schedules listed in this notice are
media neutral unless specified
otherwise. An item in a schedule is
media neutral when the disposition
instructions may be applied to records
regardless of the medium in which the
records are created and maintained.
Items included in schedules submitted
to NARA on or after December 17, 2007,
are media neutral unless the item is
limited to a specific medium. (See 36
CFR 1225.12(e).)
No Federal records are authorized for
destruction without the approval of the
Archivist of the United States. This
approval is granted only after a
thorough consideration of their
administrative use by the agency of
origin, the rights of the Government and
of private persons directly affected by
the Government’s activities, and
whether or not they have historical or
other value.
Besides identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this
public notice lists the organizational
unit(s) accumulating the records or
indicates agency-wide applicability in
the case of schedules that cover records
that may be accumulated throughout an
agency. This notice provides the control
number assigned to each schedule, the
total number of schedule items, and the
number of temporary items (the records
proposed for destruction). It also
includes a brief description of the
temporary records. The records
schedule itself contains a full
description of the records at the file unit
level as well as their disposition. If
NARA staff has prepared an appraisal
memorandum for the schedule, it too
includes information about the records.
Further information about the
disposition process is available on
request.

National Mediation Board.
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 60 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 Director,
Office of Administration, 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

addressing the following issues: (1) Is
this collection necessary to the proper
functions of the agency; (2) will this
information be processed and used in a

Application for Mediation Services
Type of Review: Extension.
Title: Application for Mediation
Services, OMB Number: 3140–0002.
Frequency: On occasion.
Affected Public: Carrier and Union
Officials, and employees of railroads
and airlines.
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour
Burden:
Responses: 50 annually.
Burden Hours: 12.50.
Abstract: Section 5, First of the
Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C., 155, First,
provides that both, or either, of the
parties to the labor-management dispute
may invoke the mediation services of
the National Mediation Board. Congress
has determined that it is in the nation’s
best interest to provide for governmental
mediation as the primary dispute
resolution mechanism to resolve labormanagement disputes in the railroad
and airline industries. The Railway
Labor Act is silent as to how the
invocation of mediation is to be
accomplished and the Board has not
promulgated regulations requiring any
specific vehicle. Nonetheless, 29 CFR
1203.1 provides that applications for
mediation services be made on printed
forms which may be secured from the
National Mediation Board. This section
of the regulations provides that
applications should be submitted in
duplicate, show the exact nature of the
dispute, the number of employees
involved, name of the carrier and name
of the labor organization, date of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:10 Mar 26, 2013
Jkt 229001
agreement between the parties, date and
copy of notice served by the invoking
party to the other and date of final
conference between the parties. The
application should be signed by the
highest officer of the carrier who has
been designated to handle disputes
under the Railway Labor Act or by the
chief executive of the labor
organization, whichever party files the
application.
The extension of this form is
necessary considering the information
provided by the parties is used by the
Board to structure a mediation process
that will be productive to the parties
and result in a settlement without resort
to strike or lockout. The Board has been
very successful in resolving labor
disputes in the railroad and airline
industries. Historically, some 97 percent
of all NMB mediation cases have been
successfully resolved without
interruptions to public service. Since
1980, only slightly more than 1 percent
of cases have involved a disruption of
service. This success ratio would
possibly be reduced if the Board was
unable to collect the brief information
that it does in the application for
mediation services.
Requests for copies of the proposed
information collection request may be
accessed from www.nmb.gov or should
be addressed to Denise Murdock, NMB,
1301 K Street NW., Suite 250 E,
Washington, DC 20005 or addressed to
the email address murdock@nmb.gov or
faxed to 202–692–5081. Please specify
the complete title of the information
collection when making your request.
Comments regarding burden and/or
the collection activity requirements
should be directed to June D.W. King at

king@nmb.gov. Individuals who use a
telecommunications device for the deaf

amended by the Antarctic Science,
Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996,
has developed regulations for the

Activity for Which Permit is Requested
Enter Antarctic Specially Protected

ASPA 152-Western Bransfield Strait,
and ASPA 153-Eastern Dallmann Bay to
capture Antarctic fish by trawling and
trapping. The project will study the
antifreeze glycoprotein that is circulated
in their circulatory space. For two of the
species, D. mawsoni and C. aceratus,
they will collect juveniles that will be
sampled for obtaining sequences of
genes expressed in young
developmental stages. These will be
added to sequences of adult D. mawsoni
collected from McMurdo Sound, and
adult C. aceratus that will be collected
at the same time as the juveniles. The
purpose is to have different ages
represented in a comprehensive
