Rescission of Coordinated Enforcement Regulations

The Department of Labor (Department) is rescinding the regulations that established formal procedures for coordination of enforcement activities among the Wage and Hour Division (WHD), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Employment and Training Administration (ETA) with respect to migrant and seasonal farmworkers. The Department is rescinding these regulations because they are obsolete, no longer reflect the Department's organizational structure or operational practices, and are not needed for effective coordination among the relevant component agencies. This action will remove unnecessary regulatory burden and align the Department's enforcement strategy with modern, effective, and flexible coordination models already in use.

Methodology & sources
This record was built from the linked government document by explicit, published rules per source — never by a language model, and never by how much attention an item might attract. Where the document states who is affected, it is quoted; where ImmigrationClock inferred something, it is labelled as an inference. The source was last checked on Sep 15, 2026. Nothing here is legal advice about anyone’s case. Read the full methodology →
