Update to the 2009 Regulatory Plan Narrative - ESA Dissolution
-
At the time of agenda preparation, the Employment Standards Administration (ESA)
of the Department of Labor was in existence as an administrative “umbrella” component
of the Department of Labor providing organizational and administrative support to four
constituent components: the Wage and Hour Division, the Office of Labor-Management
Standards, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and the Office of Workers'
Compensation Programs. As a result of departmental restructuring, ESA as an
administrative umbrella has been removed and the four constituent components remain as
separate agencies. The dissolution of ESA does not affect the regulatory priorities of
these four agencies.
