Labor Department publishes rule on Dec. 5

The US Labor Department published a seven page rule on Dec. 5, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The rule is focused on Labor Condition Applications and Requirements for Employers Using Nonimmigrants on H-1B Visas; Implementation of Electronic Filing.

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.
