The Federal Mediation and

collection request, Arbitrator’s Personal

voluntary arbitration. To carry out this
policy, FMCS have issued regulations,
29 CFR part 1404, which provide for the

professional arbitrators. The arbitrators
are private citizens, not employees of
FMCS, and are paid by the parties for
hearing and deciding the issues
submitted under a collective bargaining
agreement and in other circumstances.
Applicants for listing on the roster
submit an Arbitrator’s Personal Data
Questionnaire (Agency Form R–22)
which is used by FMCS to evaluate their
qualifications. This allows FMCS to be
able to restrict its roster to qualified
individuals only.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before May 23, 2022.

Questionnaire (Agency Form R–22),
