in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Mediation Board can create, change, or cancel rules needed to carry out this railway labor law. It must follow the normal federal rulemaking process, including a public hearing. One narrow type of rule skips that public hearing requirement.

(a) In general: The Mediation Board can make, change, and cancel rules and regulations needed to carry out this chapter. It must do this the way section 553 of title 5 requires, and it must offer a chance for a public hearing first. (b) Application: There's one exception. Subsection (a)'s hearing requirement doesn't apply to any rule that section 553(b) of title 5's third sentence already covers — rules where notice-and-hearing isn't otherwise required.
