What did Labor Department publish on May 13?

The US Labor Department published a one page notice on May 13, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Employment and Training Administration Program Year (PY) 2009 Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Allotments and Additional Funds From WIA Section 173(e) for Adult/Dislocated Worker Activities for Eligible States; PY 2009 Wagner-Peyser Act Final Allotments; PY 2009 Workforce Information Grants and FY 2009 Work Opportunity 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.
