These administrative changes are
being adopted in order to centralize the
services of several Headquarters’ offices,
eliminate duplication of functions,
improve the delivery of services, and
streamline, integrate and enhance
management functions.
DATES: Effective Date: August 11, 2013.
ADDRESSES: National Labor Relations
Board, 1099 14th Street NW., Room
11800, Washington, DC 20570.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
William B. Cowen, Solicitor, National
Labor Relations Board, 1099 14th Street
NW., Washington, DC 20570.
Telephone: (202) 273–2910 (this is not
a toll-free number), 1–866–315–6572
(TTY/TDD).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Labor Relations Board is
centralizing the services of several
Headquarters’ offices and restructuring
them into one independent Division of
Legal Counsel. This new Division will
have three branches—(1) Ethics,
Employment and Administrative Law,
(2) Contempt, Compliance and Special
Litigation, and (3) Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) Branch. When
dealing with matters on behalf of the
five-member Board or the various
Board-side offices, the Division of Legal
Counsel will coordinate through the
Office of the Solicitor.
The Ethics, Employment and
Administrative Law Branch will provide
the Agency with legal counsel and
advice in the areas of labor relations,
employment and personnel law
(including claims involving MSPB,
FLRA, EEOC, U.S. Office of Special
Counsel), government contracting,
Federal Tort Claims Act matters, and
government and bar ethics.
The Contempt, Compliance and
Special Litigation Branch will provide
compliance and contempt advice and
litigation involving, among other things,
the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Debt
Collection Procedures Act and
compliance with outstanding court
judgments; conduct litigation and
provide the Agency with advice and
assistance when programs, statutes or
outside proceedings threaten the
Agency’s ability to carry out its mission;
ensure Agency compliance with
government regulations that affect its
work, such as the Administrative
Procedures Act, statutes relating to
Agency rulemaking, the Sunshine Act,
the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act, the Right to
Financial Privacy Act; and provide
guidance and conduct litigation
involving FOIA and Privacy Act issues.
The FOIA Branch will provide advice
on FOIA and some related Privacy Act

issues; handle all FOIA requests and
appeals for Headquarters and Regional
Offices; and prepare FOIA guideline
memoranda and annual FOIA reports.
Lead Technology Counsel will
conduct litigation and provide advice
and assistance involving e-litigation
matters.
These administrative changes are
prompted by the Agency’s streamlining
initiative and is responsive to the
requests for ‘‘one-stop shopping’’ for
technical expertise from internal
customers, to allow them to better focus
on their mission-critical functions.
The following Headquarters’ offices
will be affected by these administrative
changes:
Labor Relations and Special Counsel
moves from the Division of OperationsManagement to the Ethics, Employment
and Administrative Law Branch of the
Division of Legal Counsel;
Government Ethics moves from
Administration Division and Bar Ethics
moves from the Division of Enforcement
Litigation to the Ethics, Employment
and Administrative Law Branch of the
Division of Legal Counsel;
Special Litigation Branch, and
Contempt Litigation and Compliance
Branch moves from Enforcement
Litigation Division to Contempt,
Compliance and Special Litigation
Branch of the Division of Legal Counsel;
FOIA processing and preparation of
FOIA guidance and reporting functions
of the Research and Policy Planning
Branch moves from the Division of
Advice to the FOIA Branch of the
Division of Legal Counsel. Additionally,
FOIA appeals processing on the Boardside moves from the Solicitor’s Office
and FOIA appeals processing on the
General Counsel-side moves from the
Office of Appeals in the Enforcement
Litigation Division to the FOIA Branch
of the Division of Legal Counsel with
Jennifer Abruzzo as the Chief FOIA
Officer for the Agency; and
Lead Technology Counsel moves from
the Division of Enforcement Litigation
and will directly report to the Associate
General Counsel of the Division.
These administrative changes are
being adopted in order to centralize the
services of several Headquarters’ offices,
eliminate duplication of functions,
improve the delivery of services, and
streamline, integrate and enhance
management functions. Because these
administrative changes relate to the
internal management of the Agency,
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, they are
exempted from the notice and comment
requirements of the Administrative
Procedure Act.
