SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In March 2004, the Department of Labor (DOL), through the Office of 
the Assistant Secretary for Policy's Office of Compliance Assistance 
Policy (OCA), launched the Partnerships for Compliance Assistance 
Program (PCAP) which is aimed at promoting greater awareness and 
compliance with DOL's employment laws through partnerships and 
activities with nonprofit third-party membership organizations. Through 
DOL's and its partners' efforts, PCAP increases opportunities to 
provide DOL's customers with assistance in complying with federal 
employment laws. Following the March 2004 PCAP announcement, nine 
organizations were recommended and approved for partnership. 
Partnership activities include but are not limited to dissemination of 
compliance assistance educational materials, participation in Web 
casts, e-mail alerts of new compliance assistance tools or resources, 
newsletter articles, Web links, and speaking engagements.
    OCA is again seeking partnership applications from nonprofit third-
party trade, professional or labor membership organizations that share 
DOL's understanding of the importance of providing clear, accurate and 
easy-to-access compliance assistance to employers and other 
stakeholders, in order to protect the wages, health benefits, 
retirement security, safety and health of America's workforce.
    Partnership efforts are designed to provide nonprofit third-party 
organizations and their members with an awareness of the various laws 
and regulations DOL administers and where to get accurate and easy-to-
access information on compliance assistance. These partnerships enable 
DOL to reach a greater number of businesses and workers than it could 
solely through its own outreach efforts.
