ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
The Department of Labor,
Office of Labor-Management Standards
is correcting a final rule that appeared
in the Federal Register of March 6,
2020. That document revised the forms
required by labor organizations under
the Labor-Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act (‘‘LMRDA’’ or ‘‘Act’’).
Under the rule, specified labor
organizations file annual reports (Form
T–1 Trust Annual Report) concerning
trusts in which they are interested. The
Form T–1 Instructions published with
the final rule, however, provided
inaccurate examples concerning the
applicability dates of the final rule. This
document corrects those omissions.
DATES: Effective April 6, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final rule that is the subject of
this correction appeared in the Federal
Register of March 6, 2020 (85 FR
13414); the final rule revised the forms
required by labor organizations under
the Labor-Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act (‘‘LMRDA’’ or ‘‘Act’’), 29
U.S.C. 431(b). Under the rule, specified
labor organizations file annual reports
(Form T–1 Trust Annual Report)
concerning trusts in which they are
interested. The final rule also sets forth
the Department’s review of and
response to comments on the proposed
rule. Under this rule, the Department
required a labor organization with total
annual receipts of $250,000 or more
(and, which therefore is obligated to file
a Form LM–2 Labor Organization
Annual Report) to also file a Form T–
1, under certain circumstances, for each
trust of the type defined by section 3(l)
of the LMRDA, 29 U.S.C. 402(l)
(defining ‘‘trust in which a labor
organization is interested’’). The rule
provided appropriate instructions and
revised relevant sections relating to
such reports. The Form T–1
Instructions, however, provided
inaccurate examples of the rule’s
applicability dates. See Form T–1
Instructions, Part II (When to File) at 85
FR 13451. The second through fourth
examples indicated, incorrectly, that the
first Form T–1 reports, in the examples,
were due later than the operative
language indicated they would in Part II
of the Form T–1 Instructions. This
correction remedies this error by
inserting the appropriate dates to the
examples, thereby ensuring consistency
with the operative language in the
instructions.
Need for Correction
As published, the final rule contained
errors within the Form T–1 Instructions,
at 85 FR 13451 (col. 2), which illustrates
the prospective effect of the final rule.
