     Subject: Operations of the Federal Labor Relations
               Authority (GAO/GGD-84-96)

     You asked us to review several aspects of the operations of
the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) and to determine
whether it is fulfilling its responsibilities under Title VII of
the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) of 1978 (Public Law
95-454). During the initial phase of our review, however, we
found that FLRA had taken or plans to take several actions to
identify and resolve case processing and administrative prob-
lems. As agreed with your offices, because of these actions, we
have deferred our review to allow time for FLRA to make the ad-
ministrative and procedural changes that its own analysis indi-
cates are needed. We intend to reopen the review when the ef-
fects of FLRA's actions can be better determined. The following
sections provide a brief background on FLRA; briefly describe
our objectives, scope, and methodology; and summarize recent
FLRA actions relating to our objectives.

BACKGROUND

     FLRA was established as an independent, neutral, third-
party agency for resolving labor-management disputes in the
federal sector- by Title VII (Federal Service Labor-Management
Relations) of the CSRA. FLRA establishes policies and guidance
