View Rule

The U.S. Department of Labor (Department) proposes to remove 38.40 from Part 38 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The regulations at 29 CFR Part 38 implement the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of section 188 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). 29 CFR 38.40 contains affirmative outreach requirements for recipients of financial assistance under Title I of WIOA. Section 188 of WIOA does not authorize the Department to require affirmative outreach. The Department is therefore proposing to remove this requirement from the regulations in accordance with Executive Order 14219, Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ Deregulatory Initiative (February 19, 2025).
