Sec. 461. Management rights

    (a) Scope.--If there is no obligation under the provisions of 
chapter 71 of title 5 for the head of an agency of the United States to 
consult or negotiate with a labor organization on a particular matter by 
reason of that matter being covered by a provision of law or a 
Governmentwide regulation, the Director of the National Imagery and 
Mapping Agency is not obligated to consult or negotiate with a labor 
organization on that matter even if that provision of law or regulation 
is inapplicable to the National Imagery and Mapping Agency.
    (b) Bargaining Units.--The National Imagery and Mapping Agency shall 
accord exclusive recognition to a labor organization under section 7111 
of title 5 only for a bargaining unit that was recognized as appropriate 
for the Defense Mapping Agency on the day before the date on which 
employees and positions of the Defense Mapping Agency in that bargaining 
unit became employees and positions of the National Imagery and Mapping 
Agency under the National Imagery and Mapping Agency Act of 1996 (title 
XI of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997).
    (c) Termination of Bargaining Unit Coverage of Position Modified To 
Affect National Security Directly.--(1) If the Director of the National 
Imagery and Mapping Agency determines that the responsibilities of a 
position within a collective bargaining unit should be modified to 
include intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or security 
duties not previously assigned to that position and that the performance 
of the newly assigned duties directly affects the national security of 
the United States, then, upon such a modification of the 
responsibilities of that position, the position shall cease to be 
covered by the collective bargaining unit and the employee in that 
position shall cease to be entitled to representation by a labor 
organization accorded exclusive recognition for that collective 
bargaining unit.
    (2) A determination described in paragraph (1) that is made by the 
Director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency may not be reviewed 
by the Federal Labor Relations Authority or any court of the United 
States.
