SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FMCS is an independent federal agency tasked
by Congress to provide mediation, conciliation, and voluntary
arbitration services in the private and federal sectors. In service of
its mission, non-federal sources reimburse FMCS for certain expenses
including, but not limited to, processing FOIA requests under 29 CFR
1401; requests for arbitrator panels, under 29 CFR 1404; and labor
relations training. Commercial receivables are typically paid in the
form of physical checks sent to the agency and processed by Treasury's
Administrative Resource Center (ARC), which charges FMCS a processing
fee per transaction.
In 2023, FMCS expects to receive more than 6,000 commercial
receivables. The costs associated with processing commercial
receivables has necessitated FMCS to move to <a href="http://Pay.gov">Pay.gov</a>. If <a href="http://Pay.gov">Pay.gov</a>
submission creates an undue hardship, payees may contact
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#82f2e3fbefe7ecf6f1c2e4efe1f1ace5edf4"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="7707160e1a1219030437111a140459101801">[email protected]</span></a> to explain the circumstances and receive assistance.
Dated: August 22, 2022.

Deputy General Counsel.
