AGENCY:

Office of Labor-Management Standards, Department of Labor.

ACTION:

Notice of proposed rulemaking; correction.

SUMMARY:

This document corrects the preamble and the regulatory text of the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2011 (76 FR 36178), regarding the interpretation of Section 203 of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), 29 U.S.C. 433, and corresponding revisions to the Form LM-10 Employer Report and to the Form LM-20 Agreement and Activities Report. This correction clarifies that the NPRM intended to propose a technical revision to 29 CFR 406.2, which was inadvertently omitted from the preamble and the proposed revised regulatory text of the NPRM.
