The Department of Labor is proposing changes to certain forms related to labor-management reporting and is seeking public comments. These changes involve requiring an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for identification purposes on specific forms, as well as outlining new differentiation requirements between primary consultants and sub-consultants. The goal is to improve clarity and efficiency in reporting and ensure transparency. The public is invited to comment, particularly on the necessity and burden of these revisions, before January 13, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Labor wants to change some forms to make it easier and clearer for people to report certain information about working with consultants, like asking for a special number to identify them. They are asking people to tell them if they think these changes are necessary and if they are too difficult to do.
