                    DECISION AND ORDER CLARIFYING UNIT
 
    Upon petitions duly filed with the Federal Labor Relations Authority
 under section 7111(b)(2) of the Federal Service Labor-Management
 Relations Statute (the Statute), a consolidated hearing was held before
 a hearing officer of the Authority.  The hearing officer's rulings made
 at the hearing are free from prejudicial error and are hereby affirmed.
 
    Upon careful consideration of the entire record, including the
 parties' contentions, the Authority finds:  In Case No. 3-AC-35, the
 Activity/Petitioner seeks to amend the certification of representative
 by changing the name of the Activity from 1143rd Air Base Squadron,
 Headquarters Command, U.S. Air Force /2/ to Headquarters, 1947th
 Administrative Support Group, U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C., in order
 to reflect the change brought about by Special Order GA-35 which
 established the 1947th Administrative Support Group as a successor
 organization to the 1143rd Air Base Squadron, and Air Force Regulation
 40-102 and Headquarters Office Instruction 40-102 in which
 responsibility for the appointment of civilian personnel,
 classifications, and effectuation of a labor relations program was
 delegated to the Commander of the 1947th Administrative Support Group.
 The Activity/Petitioner contends that the change was strictly in the
 name of the Activity and in no way changes the relationship between the
 Activity and the AFGE, nor does it change the level of recognition.
 
    The AFGE objects to the petition claiming that it would be subject to
 further amendment as the Activity continues to change the title of its
 servicing civilian personnel office.  The AFGE would prefer to have a
 more generic title to avoid the possibility of having further changes.
 AFGE also contends that the change is an attempt to lower the level of
 recognition and an attempt by management to avoid its responsibility by
 insulating itself from the Union.
 
    The Authority finds, in agreement with the Activity/Petitioner, that
 the AC petition filed herein seeks only to bring the certification up to
 date, and to reflect the new name of the Activity.  There is no evidence
 in the record to substantiate AFGE's contention that the name change
 would have the effect of lowering the level of recognition, or in any
 other manner change the relationship of the parties.  Accordingly, the
 Authority will order that the unit certification be amended to reflect
 the change in the name of the Activity.
 
    In Case No. 3-CU-61, the Activity/Petitioner seeks to clarify the
 status of numerous employees who it contends should be excluded from the
 recognized bargaining unit on the grounds that they are confidential
 employees, supervisors, and/or management officials.  /3/

    Based on the record testimony discussed above, the Authority finds
 that the employees described above are confidential employees within the
 meaning of section 7103(a)(13) of the Statute.  In so finding, the
 Authority concludes that each of the employees listed above works in a
 confidential capacity to an individual who formulates or effectuates
 management policies in the field of labor-management relations.  /6/
 Accordingly, the Authority shall exclude the above-named employees from
 the bargaining unit.
 
    The Authority further finds that the other employees listed in
 Appendix A are not confidential employees within the meaning of section
 7103(a)(13) and must remain in the bargaining unit.  While many of these
 employees may act in a confidential capacity to agency officials, the
 record fails to establish either that they do so with respect to
 individuals who formulate or effectuate management policies in the field
 of labor-management relations, or that there is an integral relationship
 between these employees and the individuals they work for when the
 latter is performing duties in the field of labor-management relations.
 /7/ Other employees were not shown to act in a confidential capacity
 with respect to any agency official and, instead, may merely type or
 otherwise have access to labor relations materials.  It is well settled
 that neither typing nor mere access is sufficient to establish
 confidential status.  /8/
 
    Supervisors /9/
 
    The Activity/Petitioner contends that the employees listed in
 Appendix B are supervisors and should be excluded from the recognized
 bargaining unit.  Of these, the record establishes that Angus Goodson,
 Program Analyst, GS-0345-14, assigns and directs work and effectively
 recommends promotions and discipline for subordinates;  Wayne Gracie,
 Program Analyst, GS-0345-14, and Joyce B. Lucky, Program Analyst,
 GS-0345-14, assign and direct work and effectively recommend the hiring
 of and discipline for subordinates;  William Wood, Data Automation
 Program Specialist, GS-0330-14, effectively recommends awards for
 subordinates;  Richard Hedrick, Budget Analyst, GS-0560-13, and Charles
 Simonds, Computer Systems Analyst, GS-0331-13, assign and direct work
 and effectively recommend the hiring of and awards for subordinates;
 John Reece, Military Personnel Management Specialist, GS-0205-13, Robert
 Tate, Commissary Management Specialist, GS-1144-14, and Ferdinand Stibi,
 Translator, GS-1045-13, assign and direct work and effectively recommend
 the hiring of subordinates;  Clyde Bloodworth, Budget Analyst,
 GS-0560-14, assigns and directs work and effectively recommends awards
 for subordinates;  Albert Gallant, Program Analyst, GS-0345-13, Robert
 McClelland, Budget Analyst, GS-0560-14, Paul Boland, Computer
 Specialist, GS-0334-13, and Frank Atwater, Budget Analyst, GS-0560-14,
 assign and direct work for subordinates;  Edward Barbara, Computer
 Specialist, GS-0334-13, adjusts grievances and effectively recommends
 the hiring of and promotions and awards for subordinates;  Marvin
 August, Computer Systems Analyst, GS-0334-13, Donald Nungesser, Program
 Analyst, GS-0345-13, Bruce Hedrick, Budget Analyst, GS-0560-14, Robert
 Awe, Computer Specialist, GS-0334-13, Robert Finney, Computer
 Specialist, GS-0334-14, and John Gates, Computer Specialist, GS-0334-13,
 assign and direct work and effectively recommend the hiring of
 subordinates;  Edwin Croswell, Security Specialist, GS-0080-14, adjusts
 grievances and Croswell, Security Specialist, GS-0080-14, adjusts
 grievances and effectively recommends promotions and awards for
 subordinates;  and William Randell, Military Records Examining
 Specialist, GS-0205-13, assigns and directs work, adjusts grievances and
 effectively recommends the hiring of and discipline for subordinates.
 Further, the Authority finds that the above duties are not merely
 routine or clerical in nature, but require the consistent exercise of
 independent judgment.  Accordingly, these incumbents are supervisors
 within the meaning of section 7103(a)(10) of the Statute.  Therefore the
 Authority shall order that they be excluded from the unit.  /10/
 
    The Authority further finds that the other employees listed in
 Appendix B are not supervisors within the meaning of section 7103(a)(10)
 of the Statute.  Thus, the record establishes that none of these
 incumbents exercise any of the statutory indicia of supervisory
 authority.  Accordingly, the Authority shall order that they remain in
 the bargaining unit.
 
    Management Officials /11/
 
    The Activity/Petitioner contends that the employees listed in
 Appendix C are management officials and should be excluded from the
 unit.  In the lead case of Department of the Navy, Automatic Data
 Processing Selection Office, 7 FLRA 172(1981), the Authority interpreted
 the statutory definition of "management official" to include those
 individuals who:  (1) create, establish or prescribe general principles,
 plans, or courses of action for an agency;  (2) decide upon or settle
 upon general principles, plans or courses of action for an agency;  or
 (3) bring about or obtain a result as to the adoption of general
 principles, plans or courses of action for an agency.  Applying these
 criteria to the instant case, the Authority finds that the following are
 management officials and shall order their exclusion from the bargaining
 unit:  Thomas Howard, Program Analyst, GS-0345-13;  Jan Tarziers,
 Program Analyst, GS-0345-13;  Billy Robey, Logistics Management
 Specialist, GS-0345-13;  Gary Appleton, Logistics Management Specialist,

 Kenneth Semler, Transportation Officer, GS-2101-14;  Stephen Laiko,
 Transportation Customs Officer, GS-0301-14;  David Leary, Traffic
 Management Specialist, GS-2130-13;  James Konkel, Traffic Management
 Specialist, GS-2130-13;  French Hillman, Traffic Management Specialist,
 GS-2130-13;  Dudley Broyles, Traffic Management Specialist, GS-2130-13;
 William Christie, Housing Management Officer, GS-1173-13;  Charles
 Skidmore, Realty Officer, GS-1170-14;  Michael Ruzila, Realty Officer,
 GS-1170-14;  David Arns, Program Analyst, GS-0345-14;  Alex Smirnow,
 Logistics Management Specialist, GS-0346-14;  Ann Zepeda, Supply Systems
 Analyst, GS-2003-13;  Richard L'Italien, Quality Assurance Specialist,
 GS-1910-15;  Robert Sullivan, Supply Funds Manager, GS-2001-13;  Bruce
 Worden, Budget Analyst, GS-0560-13;  and James Sandidge, Banking and
 Contract Financing Officer, GS-1101-15.  Thus, the record indicates that

 he exercises independent authority in determining how much money will be
 sought to run this program and how the money will be allocated to best

 and in this capacity makes autonomous decisions on whether military

 emergencies;  Konkel formulated and manages the "Do It Yourself Moving
 Program" for the Air Force and he has developed the guidelines and
 substantive provisions for this program;  Hillman is responsible for the
 program and regulations governing military airlift for DOD and the
 program involving contracting commercial carriers to move military cargo

 rewriting Air Force Manual 66-18 which establishes Air Force policy for
 obtaining such services;  Smirnow is responsible for depot maintenance

 effectuated the criteria utilized by the Air Force in determining
 whether to accomplish depot maintenance organizationally or contract out

 'L'Italien is an Air Force expert on Quality Assurance at both the
 international and national level and has written many Air Force and DOD
 Regulations on Quality Assurance including DODI 41-55.1;  Sullivan

 settlements, compromises, suspensions and terminations and has signature
 authority to approve advance payments to nonprofit organizations up

 that their respective responsibilities require and authorize the above
 individuals to formulate, determine, or influence the policies of the
 Activity within the meaning of section 7103(a)(11) of the Statute as
 interpreted by the Authority.
 
    With respect to the other alleged management officials listed in
 Appendix C, the Authority finds that they are professionals whose
 actions assist in implementing, as opposed to shaping, the Activity's
 policies.  Thus, the record is clear that these incumbents are not
 management officials in that they do not exercise any duties or
 responsibilities which require or authorize them to formulate,
 determine, or influence the policies of the Activity within the meaning
 of section 7103(a)(11) of the Statute.  Accordingly, the Authority finds
 that these incumbents must remain in the bargaining unit.
 
                                   ORDER
 
    IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the bargaining unit of all GS and WG
 non-supervisory, non-professional employees serviced by the Civilian
 Personnel Division 1143rd Air Base Squadron, Headquarters Command, U.S.
 Air Force be amended to reflect changes in the organizational

    /2/ On February 7, 1972, the American Federation of Government
 Employees, LPIU Council of Headquarters, USAF Locals was certified as
 the exclusive bargaining representative for a unit of all GS and WG
 nonsupervisory, non-professional employees serviced by the Civilian
 Personnel Division, Office of the Secretary of the Air Staff,
 Headquarters, U.S. Air Force.  On August 10, 1972, the unit
 certification was amended to reflect the Activity's name change to the
 1143rd Air Base Squadron, Headquarters Command, U.S. Air Force.  The
 unit certification was again amended in 1974 to reflect the change in
 the Union's name from American Federation of Government Employees LPIU,
 Headquarters, USAF Locals to its present name of American Federation of
 Government Employees, Graphic Arts International Union, Council of
 Headquarters, USAF Locals, AFL-CIO (AFGE).
 
 
    /3/ On March 23, 1982, the Activity/Petitioner notified the Authority
 that pursuant to Section 1, Subsection (p) of Executive Order 12338
 (January 13, 1982), the following employees who are assigned to the
 Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence should be withdrawn
 from consideration by the Authority as they are now excluded from the
 Federal Labor Management Relations Program:  Wilma Pickard, Program
 Analyst Officer, GS-0345-15;  Robert Boyd, Intelligence Research
 Specialist, GS-0132-13;  William Kincaid, Intelligence Research
 Specialist, GS-0132-13;  Alice Norris, Intelligence Research Specialist,
 GS-0132-14;  Christopher Silva, Intelligence Research Specialist,
 GS-0132-13;  Glenn Holman, Intelligence Research Specialist, GS-013214;
 Charles Crowl, Intelligence Research Specialist, GS-0132-13;  Carl
 Vavrek, Budget Analyst, GS-0560-13;  and Vladimir Culkowski,
 Intelligence Operations Specialist, GS-0132-14.
 
    Further, as the record contains no evidence as to the duties
 performed by Geraldine Rizzardi, Computer Specialist, GS-1334-14, the
 Authority will make no finding with respect to this position.
 
 
    /4/ Section 7103(a)(13) of the Statute defines a "confidential
 employee" as:
 
          . . . an employee who acts in a confidential capacity with
       respect to an individual who formulates or effectuates management
       policies in the field of labor-management relations(.)
 
 
    /5/ At the hearing, the parties stipulated that the following
 employees were confidential employees and should be excluded from the
 bargaining unit:  Patricia Hernann, Secretary (Typing), GS-0318-08;
 Elizabeth Yeapanis, Secretary (Typing), GS-0318-06;  Debra Hagler,
 Clerical Assistant (Typing), GS-0301-05;  and Janet Closs, Secretary
 (Typing), GS-0318-05.  The Authority deems such stipulations to be
 motions to amend the petition which are hereby granted.
 
    After the filing of the petition, Judy Dean and Carolee Washington
 were promoted into other job classifications not involved herein and
 consequently, have not been considered.
 
 
    /6/ See Food and Drug Administration, Region I, 6 FLRA 229(1981).
 
 
    /7/ Pennsylvania Army National Guard, 8 FLRA No. 119 at 3 (1982) and
 Headquarters, Fort Sam Houston, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, 5 FLRA 339,
 341-342(1981).
 
 
    /8/ See e.g., Id. at 344.
 
 
    /9/ Section 7103(a)(10) of the Statute defines a "supervisor" as:
 
          . . . an individual employed by an agency having authority in
       the interest of the agency to hire, direct, assign, promote,
       reward, transfer, furlough, layoff, recall, suspend, discipline,
       or remove employees, to adjust their grievances, or to effectively
       recommend such action, if the exercise of the authority is not
       merely routine or clerical in nature but requires the consistent
       exercise of independent judgment.  . . .
 
 
    /10/ It is therefore unnecessary to pass upon the
 Activity/Petitioner's contention that Goodson, Gracie, Lucky, Tate,
 Nungesser, Reece, Hedrick, Croswell, Randell, Bloodworth, McClelland and
 Atwater should also be excluded from the unit on the basis that they are
 management officials and their names have not been listed in Appendix C.
 
 
    /11/ Section 7103(a)(11) of the Statute defines a "management
 official" as:
 
          . . . an individual employed by an agency in a position the
       duties and responsibilities of which require or authorize the
       individual to formulate, determine, or influence the policies of
       the agency. . .
