September: Labor Department publishes 31 notices

There were 31 notices published by the Labor Department in September, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Petition for Modification of Application of Existing Mandatory Safety Standards, was submitted on September 29, 2022.

The Labor Department published 35 the month before, marking an 11.4 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.
