                Students Working in Connection With Their Studies
                AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.
                ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rulemaking.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: This document withdraws a proposed rule that was published in
                the Federal Register on September 23, 2019, as corrected on October 16,
                2019. The proposed rule would have established that students who
                perform any services for compensation, including, but not limited to,
                teaching or research, at a private college or university in connection
                with their studies are not ``employees'' within the meaning of the
                National Labor Relations Act.
                DATES: As of March 15, 2021, the proposed rule published on September
                23, 2019, at 84 FR 49691, and corrected on October 16, 2019, at 84 FR
                55265, is withdrawn.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roxanne L. Rothschild, Executive
                Secretary, National Labor Relations Board, 1015 Half Street SE,
                Washington, DC 20570-0001, (202) 273-1940 (this is not a toll-free
                number), 1-866-315-6572 (TTY/TDD).
                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Labor Relations Board is
                withdrawing the notice of proposed rulemaking that was published in the
                Federal Register on September 23, 2019 (84 FR 49691), and corrected on
                October 16, 2019 (84 FR 55265). The document proposed a rule
                establishing that students who perform any services for compensation,
                including, but not limited to, teaching or research, at a private
                college or university in connection with their studies are not
                ``employees'' within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the National Labor
                Relations Act. The Board has decided to withdraw this rulemaking
                proceeding based on its judgment respecting the most effective
                allocation of the Board's limited resources at this time. In light of
                competing agency priorities, the Board has determined to focus its time
                and resources on the adjudication of cases currently in progress.
                 Dated: Washington, DC, March 9, 2021.
                 By direction of the Board.
                Roxanne L. Rothschild,
                Executive Secretary.
