The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) published a notice on October 7, 2026, revising its Statement of Organization and Functions. According to the notice, this update rescinds all prior Statements of Organization previously issued by the agency.

The notice does not provide additional detail on specific structural or functional changes beyond confirming that the new statement supersedes all earlier versions. FMCS is best known across the federal contracting community for its role in mediating labor-management disputes, including those involving federal contractors and unionized workforces.

While the notice itself contains no new program requirements or funding changes, organizational notices of this kind can signal shifts in how an agency structures its offices, delegates authority, or defines its functions going forward. Contractors and labor-relations professionals who interact with FMCS mediation services may want to monitor the Federal Register for any follow-on details clarifying the practical effects of the reorganization.
