Below is a historical list of exemptions and EXPRO authorizations.  They may not reflect current law, policies, or procedures.  The Department, for example, may require terms and conditions that were not required in prior exemptions.  Persons considering filing for an exemption or EXPRO authorization may find it very helpful to discuss the facts or issues in their cases with the Department before preparing the filing.  The Department welcomes all inquiries and is available to answer any questions you may have.  

Please be advised that the information in your exemption application, and any information submitted to the Department in support of your exemption application (including any information submitted to the Department in support of your exemption application prior to the Department’s receipt of your exemption application), will be disclosed to the public upon request.  You are responsible for ensuring that your exemption application does not contain information that you do not want disclosed to the public.  As stated in 29 CFR 2570.33(c), the Department will not process or consider an exemption application or a supporting document containing a request intended to restrict the Department’s ability to disclose information to the public.  Consequently, by participating in the exemption application process, you are consenting to the public disclosure of your exemption application and any information submitted to the Department in support of your application. The Department reserves the right to revoke an exemption if the record upon which the exemption is based contains information that may not be disclosed to the public.

For additional cases and subject matter categories, refer to EXPRO Authorizations under PTE 96-62.
