[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 208 (Wednesday, October 28, 2015)] [Notices] [Pages 66050-66054] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-27392] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD Amendment of Statement of Organization and Functions; Restructuring of National Labor Relations Board's Field Organization AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board. ACTION: Notice of administrative change in status of the Des Moines, Iowa Resident Office (Region 18) of the National Labor Relations Board, which will be closed and the area will be served by agents working from other locations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The National Labor Relations Board is closing its Des Moines, Iowa Resident Office because it has determined that closing the office and serving the area with agents working at other locations, will result in significant savings while continuing to effectively serve the area currently served by this office. DATES: Effective Date: The change announced above with respect to the Des Moines, Iowa office will be effective November 30, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary Shinners, Executive Secretary, 1015 Half Street SE., Washington, DC 20570. Telephone: (202) 273-1067. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Labor Relations Board has decided to close its Des Moines, Iowa Resident Office. This change is prompted by an examination of the staffing, caseloads, and rental and operating costs for the Des Moines office which has been occupied by only one investigator for more than four years. One of the two other non-investigative staff members assigned to the Des Moines office has transferred to another National Labor Board office and another has retired. Because of the declining case intake in this area, it is not expected that additional employees would be added to this office in the foreseeable future. Employees from the Agency's Minneapolis and Milwaukee offices will continue to perform the same work the sole investigator performs now, and will travel to locations in Iowa on an as-needed basis. This revision is nonsubstantive or merely procedural in nature. The Board expects no adverse impact on the [[Page 66051]] quality of casehandling as a result of the office closure. Region 18, which handles cases arising in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and North and South Dakota, is headed by a Regional Director, who works in the Minneapolis, Minnesota Regional office and has full authority for the processing of both unfair labor practice and representation cases in that area. Currently, the other employees in this Region work in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Des Moines, Iowa. Under this proposal, all offices except the Des Moines office will continue to be open. The geographical area covered by the Region will not be changed. Since May 2015, the NLRB has solicited and received feedback on the proposed closure of the Des Moines, Iowa office. The decision to close this office and restructure the Agency's operations in the manner set forth here was informed by comments from stakeholders. Because this is a general notice that is related to the organization of the NLRB, it is not a regulation or rule subject to Executive Order 12866. Concurrent with this Notice, the NLRB is revising its Statement of Organization and Functions, among other things, to delete reference to the Des Moines, Iowa office as a place where persons can obtain service in Region 18. The Appendix to Subpart B--Description of Field Organization, which includes a complete listing of the Regional and Subregional Offices and the geographic areas served by each was last published in full at 53 FR 10305-10308 (March 30, 1988). Since that time, the Board has published numerous individual amendments to Subpart B, including 65 FR 53228, 65 FR 64723, 69 FR 31143, 69 FR 74541, 77 FR 72886, 78 FR 44602, 79 FR 69136, and 79 FR 72707. Accordingly, the Board is now publishing the Appendix to Subpart B--Description of Field Organization in its entirety because of the number of changes made to the boundaries and the age of the last publication. Pursuant to the change set forth here, the National Labor Relations Board is amending its Statement of Organization and Functions as follows: Part 201--Description of Organization Subpart B--Description of Field Organization (A) Sec. 203 is amended to read as follows: Sec. 203 Regional Offices. There are 26 Regional Offices through which the Board conducts its business. Certain of the Regions have Subregional Offices or Resident Offices in addition to the central Regional Office. The areas constituting the Regions and the location of the Regional, Subregional, and Resident Offices are set forth in an appendix hereto. Each Regional Office staff is headed by a Regional Director appointed by the Board on the recommendation of the General Counsel and includes a Regional Attorney, Assistant to the Regional Director, field attorneys, field examiners, and clerical staff. Each Subregional Office is headed by an officer in charge appointed in the same manner as the Regional Directors. Each Resident Office is headed by a Resident Officer. (B) The Appendix to Subpart B is amended to read as follows: Appendix--Regional and Subregional Offices Alphabetical list of States showing location in relation to Regions and Subregions.
