## Abstract

The National Labor Relations Board is revising its rules that govern the time for filing certain papers with the Board. The revisions are being adopted in order to permit certain documents in NLRB representation cases, required to be filed by a certain date, to be filed late where the reason for the late filing constitutes "excusable neglect" and provided that no undue prejudice would result from the late filing. The intended effect of the revisions is to avoid the inequities that would result from rejecting all late-filed documents without regard to the reason why the party missed the filing deadline.
