What changed

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has published a notice to rescind two existing systems of records notices: NLRB FOIAonline (NLRB-35) and Freedom of Information Act Tracking System (FTS) and Associated Agency Files (NLRB-32). This action is taken pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular No. A-108, and is effective immediately. The rescindment is a consequence of the NLRB establishing a new system, NLRB Freedom of Information Act Records (NLRB-37), which consolidates and replaces the functionalities of the rescinded systems.

Regulated entities and the public are not directly impacted by this rescindment as it pertains to internal agency record-keeping systems. The NLRB has ceased maintaining the rescinded systems as of specific dates in 2023 and 2017, respectively, and has disposed of associated records in accordance with NARA guidelines. No specific compliance actions are required from external parties; however, individuals seeking information should refer to the new system notice for the NLRB's current FOIA processing procedures.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The NLRB, elsewhere in the Federal Register, is publishing a NOTICE OF A NEW SYSTEM OF RECORDS for the “NLRB Freedom of Information Act Records (NLRB-37)” system. This system, among other things, enables the NLRB to electronically receive, process, track, and store requests from the public for federal records; store responsive records; post responsive records to a website; collect data for annual reporting requirements to the Department of Justice; and manage internal FOIA administration activities.

Prior to the use of NLRB-37, the Agency used NLRB FOIAonline (NLRB-35) (84 FR 67967 (Dec. 12, 2019)) and Freedom of Information Act Tracking System (FTS) and Associated Agency Files (NLRB-32) (71 FR 74941 (Dec. 13, 2006)) as FOIA processing systems. As of October 1, 2023, the Agency ceased maintaining NLRB-35 as a system of records. As of August 1, 2017, the Agency ceased maintaining NLRB-32 as a system of records. Accordingly, the Agency is rescinding NLRB-35 and NLRB-32. Some NLRB-35 case file records were migrated into NLRB-37; others have been disposed of in accordance with National Archive and Records Administration (NARA) General Records Schedule 4.2, Item 020; all FTS records have been disposed of in accordance with the Agency's NLRB Records Disposition Standards, as approved by NARA.
