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. (Note that respective Region number follows Subregion 
number to facilitate locating areas serviced.)
