Public notices: Labor Department publishes 13 in July

There were 13 notices published by the Labor Department in July, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request; State Training Provider Eligibility Collection, was submitted on July 27, 2022.

The Labor Department published 19 the month before, marking a 31.6 percent decrease for the current month.

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.
