Labor Department publishes 10 notices in week ending Jan. 15

There were 10 notices published by the Labor Department in week ending Jan. 15, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Rehabilitation Maintenance Certificate, was submitted on January 14, 2022.

The Labor Department published two the week before, marking a 400 percent increase.

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.
