  • 2018 Annual Performance and Accountability Report
    N M B 2018 NATIONAL MEDIATION BOARD / ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT CHAIRMAN’S November 15, 2018 N LETTER The National Mediation Board had a banner year in FY 2018. The Agency’s mission – to prevent disruption to interstate commerce – remains as critical today as it was in 1934, when the Board was created under amendments to the Railway Labor Act. M NMB is pleased to report that there were no interruptions in the rail or air industry in FY 2018. Through the work of this Agency, the over twelve million jobs directly supported by the rail and air industry continued as usual. By extension, the millions of jobs dependent on the ability to travel and transport goods were also not disrupted. As unemployment B rates reach lows not seen in decades, NMB acts to ensure that work disruptions in the air or rail sectors do not dampen economic growth. NMB is proud to play its part in keeping the United States’ job-producing economy strong. At the start of the fiscal year, the Board’s statutory complement of three members was restored when two new Board Members and one sitting Board Member were unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate. At full strength, the new Board has been able to address issues which have long been of concern at NMB. For example, the Board addressed the fact that NMB has no assigned Inspector General by establishing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Inspector General of the National Labor Relations Board to create an anonymous hotline to report fraud, waste and abuse.

    U.S. Department 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE of Transportation Washington, DC 20590 Federal Railroad Administration AUG 2 9 2018 Mr. Keith T. Borman Vice President and General Counsel American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association 50 F Street NW, Suite 7020 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Docket Number FRA-2009-0078 Dear Mr. Borman: This letter is in response to the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association's (ASLRRA) August 7. 2018, petition to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). ASLRRA requested that FRA expand the regulatory relief granted in Docket Number FRA-2009-0078 to include two additional ASLRRA member railroads as parties to the waiver. The ASLRRA member railroads that seek to become parties to the subject waiver are the Regional Rail — Tyburn Railroad L.L.C. and the South Plains Lamesa Railroad, Ltd. The existing waiver provides ASLRRA member railroads relief from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(4), which, in part, requires a train employee to receive 48 hours off-duty after initiating an on-duty period, each day, for 6 consecutive days. The existing waiver allows employees, working for railroads that are subject to the waiver, to receive 24 hours off-duty after initiating an on-duty period, each day, for 6 consecutive days. FRA notes that ASLRRA expressed in its request that the two above-referenced railroads sought employee input concerning the waiver request, and that the affected employees at each railroad support the waiver. ASLRRA also expressed that employee input concerning the waiver had been documented and will be made available to FRA upon request.
