WEICHERT, ACTING DIRECTORSubject: Updated Guidance for Submission ofJointBargaining Agreements andMediationAwards in Accordance with EO 13836 - Developing Efficient, Effective, and Cost-Reducing Approaches to Federal SectorJointBargaining   Introduction Consistent with the vision of the President’s Management Agenda, Executive Order (EO) 13836 - Developing Efficient, Effective, and Cost-Reducing Approaches to Federal SectorJointBargaining, signed by the President on May 25, 2018, calls for executive departments and agencies subject to installment 71 of title 5, United States Code to develop efficient, effective, and cost-reducing approaches to Federal sector joint bargaining.  Portions of EO 13836 were challenged and enjoined pending remoter proceedings. However, sections of EO 13836 requiring submission of joint bargaining agreements and mediation awards were unaffected by this and remain in place.  On July 5, 2018, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued guidance for implementation of EO 13836. This guidance included key document reporting requirements specific to Section 8 of EO 13836 requiring agencies to submit to OPM each term joint bargaining try-on (CBA) and its expiration stage as well as mediation awards. OPM is currently developing a joint bargaining database to facilitate making CBAs publicly wieldy on the Internet in the future. This updated guidance outlines steps agencies should take in the interim. Additional guidance will be provided by OPM in the future regarding the submission of CBAs through the joint bargaining database when it becomes available. OrganSubmission Requirements for CBAs  Within 30 days of this memorandum, agencies shall submit to OPM each term CBA currently in effect and its expiration date. Agencies shall moreover submit new term CBAs and their expiration dates to the OPM Director within 30 days of each CBA’s constructive date. Agencies will need to provide term CBAs in a format conformant with the standards of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 794 (d) and 36 CFR Part 1194). This law requires Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology wieldy to people with disabilities. This will facilitate the EO requirement to make term CBAs publicly wieldy on the Internet as soon as practicable once the joint bargaining database becomes available.  CBA submissions to OPM should be sent to lrg@opm.gov.  Along with the submission of each CBA, agencies are required to well-constructed and nail two forms provided by OPM. TheJointBargainingTry-onSubmission Form is required in order to provide OPM with pertinent information well-nigh the CBA. In wing agencies are required to well-constructed and nail a Section 508 Conformance Attestation Form attesting to the completion of the conformance standards of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 794 (d)and 36 CFR Part 1194).  Scanned versions of CBAs will not be accepted. When formatting the CBA in preparation for submission to OPM, agencies should include key information, such as dates and parties listed on signature pages throughout the document, but should not include any very signatures. OrganResources for Section 508 Conformance  The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Government-wide IT Accessibility Program has ripened resources to squire agencies in creating documents that meet the standards of Section 508. OPM encourages agencies to reference the resources provided by GSA at https://www.section508.gov/create/documents and https://www.section508.gov/create/pdfs.  It is moreover suggested that agencies coordinate Section 508 conformance with their internal organ 508 Program Managers. A list of organ coordinators can be found at https://section508.gov/tools/coordinator-listing.  If your organ does not have a designated 508 Program Manager, contact your organ Chief Information Officer (CIO) office for assistance. OrganSubmission Requirements forMediationAwards  Agencies are required to submit new mediation awards to OPM within 10 merchantry days of receipt.Mediationawards do not require Section 508 conformance. Arbitral ribbon submissions to OPM should be sent to lrg@opm.gov.  Questions Organheadquarters-level human resources offices may contact OPM’s Accountability and Workforce Relations office at lrg@opm.gov or 202-606-2930.  Other organ employees should contact their organ human resources offices for assistance.  Attachments:    Executive Order 13836 OPM Form Number 5022:  Section 508 Conformance Attestation Form (see 508-conformant PDF below) OPM Form Number 5023: JointBargainingTry-onSubmission Form (see 508-conformant PDF below)                       cc:  Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCOs), Deputy CHCOs, and Human Resources Directors Attachment(s):  OPM Form Number 5022 Section 508 Conformance Attestation Form.pdf OPM Form 5023 CBA Submission Form.pdf Printer-friendly version Recent Transmittals Governmentwide Dismissal and Closure Procedures From:: MARGARET M.
