Requests for Arbitration Panels

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) published an interim final rule on August 4, 2026, and republished on August 28, 2026, that amended its arbitration services regulations to clarify when the Office of Arbitration may decline to issue an arbitration panel, make a direct appointment, or provide related services. This document responds to the comments, clarifies the scope of the rule's threshold inquiry, adds procedural provisions governing notice, written disposition, request dates, and fees, and adopts the interim final rule as a final rule.

Requests for Arbitration Panels

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) is issuing an interim final rule with requests for comments to amend its arbitration services regulations. The interim final rule clarifies the circumstances in which the Office of Arbitration (OA) may decline to issue an arbitration panel, make a direct appointment, or provide related arbitration services. The rule would remove language that could be read to require FMCS to honor every unilateral request for an arbitration panel, regardless of legal constraints or FMCS's authority. Due to a technical error, FMCS is reposting this IFR and extending the deadline for comments to 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register. FMCS seeks public comment on this interim final rule.
