ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), including the Office of the General Counsel (OGC), and the Federal Service Impasses Panel (FSIP), are amending their regulations to update their addresses and telephone numbers, and to eliminate the requirement that parties file four copies of original documents that they file with: the FLRA's three-member, decisional component (the Authority); the OGC; and the FLRA's Administrative Law Judges, Regional Directors, and Hearing Officers.

DATES: This final rule is effective on March 1, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erica Balkum, Chief, Office of Case Intake and Publication at *ebalkum@flra.gov* or at:

(771)444-5805. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due primarily to budgetary constraints, the FLRA is consolidating its office space at 1400 K Street NW, Washington, DC, so that all of the offices currently on the second floor of that address will now be located on the third floor of that address, along with the other FLRA offices that are already located on the third floor. The FLRA is updating its rules to reflect that consolidation and new telephone numbers. The FLRA is also updating telephone numbers and addresses for regional offices that changed since the last update to the regulation, and making one minor change to clarify that “Panama,” rather than “Panama/limited jurisdiction,” is excluded from the Washington Regional Office's geographic jurisdiction. In addition, as part of its continued move towards fully electronic case files, and to alleviate parties' filing burdens, the FLRA is amending 5 CFR 2429.25(a) to eliminate the requirement that parties file four copies of original documents that they file with: the Authority; the OGC; and the FLRA's Administrative Law Judges, Regional Directors, and Hearing Officers. Because 5 CFR 2429.25(b)(1) provides an exception to the four-copies requirement for documents filed by facsimile, the amendment to § 2429.25(a) renders § 2429.25(b)(1) unnecessary. Therefore, the FLRA is also amending § 2429.25(b) to remove current subsection (b)(1), and to redesignate subsections (b)(2) through (b)(4) as subsections (b)(1) through (b)(3). The FLRA also is making a minor punctuation change to § 2429.25(a). As this rule pertains to agency organization, practice, or procedure, it is exempt from prior notice and public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). For the same reason, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the FLRA and FSIP find that good cause exists for not providing a more delayed effective date. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification Pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Chairman of the FLRA has determined that this final rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities, because this final rule applies only to Federal agencies, Federal employees, and labor organizations representing those employees. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Review The FLRA is an independent regulatory agency and thus is not subject to the requirements of E.O. 12866 (58 FR 51735, Sept. 30, 1993). Executive Order 13132, Federalism The FLRA is an independent regulatory agency and thus is not subject to the requirements of E.O. 13132 (64 FR 43255, Aug. 4, 1999). Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 This final rule will not result in the expenditure by state, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100,000,000 or more in any one year, and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 This action is not a major rule as defined by section 804 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. This final rule will not result in an annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or more; a major increase in costs or prices; or significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United States-based companies to compete with foreign-based companies in domestic and export markets. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 The amended regulations contain no additional information collection or record-keeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501, *et seq.* List of Subjects in 5 CFR Parts 2417, 2429, 2471 and Appendix A to Chapter XIV Administrative practice and procedure, Government employees, Labor management relations.

Note, however, that although you may eFile documents on Saturdays, Sundays, and federal legal holidays, you are not required to do so. Also note that you may not file documents with the Authority by electronic mail (“email”). 5. Amend § 2429.25 by: a. Revising paragraph (a), b. Removing paragraph (b)(1), and c. Redesignating paragraphs (b)(2) through (b)(4) as paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(3). The revision reads as follows: § 2429.25 Number of copies and paper size.

(a)*General rule.* Except as discussed in paragraph

You must file one original document, but you may substitute for the original document a clean copy of that document, so long as the copy is capable of being used as an original for purposes such as further reproduction. PART 2471—PROCEDURES OF THE PANEL 6. The authority citation for part 2471 continues to read as follows: Authority: 5 U.S.C. 7119, 7134. 7. Revise § 2471.2 to read as follows: § 2471.2 Request form. A form is available for parties to use in filing either a request for consideration of an impasse or an approval of a binding arbitration procedure. Copies are available on the FLRA's website at *www.flra.gov,* or from the Office of the Executive Director, Federal Service Impasses Panel, Suite 300, 1400 K Street NW, Washington, DC 20424-0001.
