Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate a 
                Dispute Between New Jersey Transit Rail Operations and 
                Its Locomotive Engineers Represented by the Brotherhood 
                of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen

                A dispute exists between the New Jersey Transit Rail 
                Operations and its Locomotive Engineers represented by 
                the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.

                The dispute has not heretofore been adjusted under the 
                provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, 45 
                U.S.C. 151-188 (RLA).

                A party empowered by the RLA has requested that the 
                President establish an emergency board pursuant to 
                section 9A of the RLA (45 U.S.C. 159a).

                Section 9A(c) of the RLA provides that the President, 
                upon such request, shall appoint an emergency board to 
                investigate and report on the dispute.

                NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as 
                President by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, including section 9A of the RLA, it is 
                hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Establishment of Emergency Board (Board). 
                There is established, effective 12:01 a.m. eastern 
                daylight time on July 25, 2024, a Board composed of a 
                chair and two other members, all of whom shall be 
                appointed by the President to investigate and report on 
                the dispute. No member shall be pecuniarily or 
                otherwise interested in any organization of railroad 
                employees or any carrier. The Board shall perform its 
                functions subject to the availability of funds.

                Sec. 2. Report. The Board shall report to the President 
                with respect to the dispute within 30 days of its 
                creation.

                Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by section 
                9A(c) of the RLA, for 120 days from the date of the 
                creation of the Board, no change in the conditions out 
                of which the dispute arose shall be made by the parties 
                to the controversy, except by agreement of the parties.

                Sec. 4. Records Maintenance. The records and files of 
                the Board are records of the Office of the President 
                and upon the Board's termination shall be maintained in 
                the physical custody of the National Mediation Board.

                Sec. 5. Expiration. The Board shall terminate upon the
