Labor Organization and Auxiliary Reports: DOL Submits Information Collection Request to OMB for Review
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), through its Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS), has submitted an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. This submission is made in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), which requires federal agencies to obtain OMB approval before collecting information from the public. The ICR pertains to labor organization and auxiliary reports — the standardized forms that unions, labor organizations, and their affiliates are required to file with OLMS. These reports provide financial transparency and governance disclosures about union operations, officer compensation, receipts, and disbursements. As part of the PRA process, DOL is inviting public comments on the proposed information collection. Members of the public, affected organizations, and stakeholders may submit comments regarding the necessity, burden, and accuracy of the information being collected. This is a routine administrative action to maintain the legal authority for OLMS to continue collecting required labor organization financial disclosures. No new reporting requirements are introduced at this stage; the action renews existing collection authority.
