Department of Labor October 3, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the DOL is soliciting public comments regarding the proposal to amend the currently approved information collection request under OMB Control Number 1245-0003, specifically its proposal to revise the Form LM-10 Employer Report, and the Forms LM-20 and 21 filed by labor relations consultants, and their corresponding instructions, to require employers and their consultants to provide the Employment Identification Number (EIN) of the filer and other parties to the agreement for the performance of covered activities under Section 203 of the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA). Additionally, the Department proposes to revise the Form LM-20 and its instructions to require primary consultants to provide the EIN for sub-consultants who performed covered activities under any part of the agreement and for sub-consultants to provide EIN and a mailing address for the primary consultants for whom they are performing services pursuant to the agreement. The Department also seeks to require each filer to provide the email addresses of the corresponding parties to the agreement that triggered the reporting requirement (underlying agreement). The email addresses will not appear on the submitted forms or otherwise be publicly available, but OLMS will seek to use the email addresses to ensure compliance. Finally, the Department proposes a technical revision to the Form LM-1 instructions, Item 9, to match the corresponding item on the form.
