Notice published by Labor Department on March 25

The US Labor Department published a one page notice on March 25, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 Congressional Rescissions for WIA Adults and Dislocated Workers; Program Year (PY) 2004 Workforce Investment Act (WIA Allotments and Additional Funds From Dislocated Worker National Reserve for Adult/Dislocated Worker Activities for Eligible States; PY 2004 Wagner-Peyser Act Final Allotments; FY 2004 Work Opportunity Tax Credit and Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit Allotments.

The Department provides billions in unemployment insurance, which peaked around 2011 though spending had declined before the pandemic. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, claimed the Department funds "ineffective and duplicative services" and overregulates the workplace.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
