What changed

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) has published a notice to solicit qualitative feedback from stakeholders regarding its service delivery. This initiative is part of an effort to enhance agency operations and responsiveness. The notice specifically invites comments on the survey itself and the process of gathering this feedback.

Regulated entities, particularly employers, are encouraged to participate in the survey to provide input that may shape future FMCS services. While participation is voluntary, the comment period for the survey process closes on July 3, 2025. No penalties are associated with this notice, as it is a request for feedback rather than a new regulation or enforcement action.

What to do next

  1. Review the FMCS stakeholder survey for potential feedback submission.
  2. Submit comments regarding the survey process by July 3, 2025.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

This information collection provides a means to garner qualitative client and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration's commitment to improving service delivery. This feedback will provide insights into client or stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations. The surveys will provide notice of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services.

Use of Results

The surveys are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communication between the Agency and its clients and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to improving program management. Responses will be assessed to plan and inform efforts to improve or maintain the quality of service offered to the public. Collecting this information is critical for ensuring quality service offered to the public.
