The basis for this determination is that this rulemaking repeals regulations that are obsolete and that the Department of Labor does not and cannot use. This means that the only effect of this rulemaking would be to reorganize the Department of Labor’s regulations, which would benefit regulated parties, the public, and the Department of Labor.

This rulemaking repeals outdated and obsolete regulations that the Department of Labor does not and cannot use. Because the Department of Labor does not and cannot use the regulations being repealed, this rulemaking would have no adverse impact on jobs and employment opportunities.
