ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This final rule adopts a proposed rule published in the **Federal Register** on February 16, 2024, without change. The final rule updates regulations of the Federal Labor Relations Authority's
(FLRA)Federal Service Impasses Panel
(FSIP)to establish revised methods by which the public may obtain specific forms from the FSIP, and then file, or formally submit, those forms and other documents during the course of FSIP proceedings. DATES: This final rule is effective on April 25, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kimberly Moseley, Executive Director, Federal Service Impasses Panel, at *kmoseley@flra.gov* or at: 771-444-5765. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 16, 2024, in 89 FR 12287, the FLRA, including the FSIP, noted that it was consolidating its office space at 1400 K Street NW, Washington, DC, so that all of the offices that had been on the second floor of that address would be relocated on the third floor, joining the other FLRA offices already located there. Additionally, FSIP noted that, as it continued to move towards fully electronic case files, it wished to strongly encourage parties to file any permissible documents through the eFiling system, and to implement a requirement that allows in-person filing of forms or documents in FSIP matters by permission only, at an appointed time. FSIP also noted that, to the extent that moving to an “appointment-only” in-person filing system had any effect at all on parties' filing practices, it would promote eFiling. Further, the change would assist FSIP—which at the time had a staff of only four employees—in more easily managing staff-coverage issues, especially if budget constraints or other considerations prevented FSIP from filling vacancies as they arose. Given these considerations, the FSIP proposed to amend 5 CFR parts 2471.2, 2471.5, 2472.3, 2472.5, and 2472.6 to update procedures for obtaining FSIP-specific forms and then filing or formally submitting those forms and other documents during the course of proceedings before the FSIP. The proposed amendments would promote eFiling, and conserve FSIP staff's time and efficiency by allowing staff members to accept documents after giving advance permission, and at specific appointed times. This arrangement would allow staff members to avoid remaining on constant stand-by for lengthy periods of time each week to accept forms and documents, thus losing the opportunity to perform other critical tasks. The FLRA and FSIP invited written comments on the proposed rule, stating that any such comments must be received by March 18, 2024. The FLRA and FSIP received no comments, and thus adopt the rule as originally proposed. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification Pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Chairman of the FSIP has determined that the 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 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 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 final rule contains no additional information collection or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501, *et seq.* List of Subjects in 5 CFR Parts 2471 and 2472 Administrative practice and procedure, Government employees, Labor management relations. For the reasons stated in the preamble, the FLRA amends 5 CFR parts 2471 and 2472 as follows: PART 2471—PROCEDURES OF THE PANEL 1.
