An exclusive representative shall file a petition with the Board to amend its certification whenever there is a change in the identity of the exclusive representative that does not raise a question concerning representation (e.g., whether the employees have designated a particular organization as their bargaining agent). A change in the identity of the representative that does not raise a question concerning representation may include a change in the name of the labor organization.

    (a) The name, address and telephone number of the employer as shown in the certification;
    (b) The name, address and telephone number of the exclusive representative, as shown in the certification;
    (c) The name, address and telephone number of petitioner's representative; and
    (d) A description of the proposed amendment.
