For the duration of the pilot, both Regions V and IX are authorized to conduct up to 15 mediation sessions each, and may continue to offer unlimited early resolution. For its mediation sessions, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has chosen the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) to serve as the neutral third party mediator. For the pilot, the attached Mediation Agreement form will be used in each mediation session held by FMCS. Funding for the pilot will be provided by OWPP.
