Title: Arbitration Services 
Abstract: The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service proposes to amend its rules relating to arbitrators' inactive status, removal, appointments, referrals, and obligation to provide FMCS with information. The proposed rules also address the appointment of arbitrators where a party has failed to pay fees in previous cases. In addition, the proposed rules raise the annual listing fees for arbitrators on FMCS' roster. The changes will promote more efficient and effective procedures involving arbitration retention and arbitration services. The increased cost of listing arbitrator biographical data more accurately reflects FMCS' costs of maintaining and administering this information.
