    The Department of Justice has lodged a proposed Consent Decree concerning a case where the United States accused Thomas E. Lipar and associated companies of violating the Clean Water Act by discharging pollutants without a permit. To settle these allegations, the defendants are required to perform compensatory environmental mitigation and adhere to best management practices. The public had initially been given until February 25, 2021, to comment on this proposed agreement, but the deadline was extended to March 11, 2021. The details of the Consent Decree can be reviewed online or at the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, although access may be restricted due to COVID-19.

    The Department of Labor (DOL) is seeking approval for an information collection request regarding the National Compensation Survey from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The survey gathers data on earnings and benefits from private firms and government, which is used to produce important economic indicators like the Employment Cost Index. The DOL invites public comments on the necessity, accuracy, and burden of the data collection, which is crucial for evaluating employee compensation trends. Responses to this request are due by March 31, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Labor wants to check how much people get paid by asking businesses and the government for some information, and they need permission to do this. They also want people to share their thoughts on whether this is important, fair, and how it affects those who have to provide the information.
