The bold waivers with an asterisk will expire within six months, absent a request for a renewed waiver from the head of any department or other agency of the United States. Where a request for a renewed waiver has been received, it will be indicated under the date in the Expiration Date column. It is the responsibility of agency heads to monitor the expiration dates and request renewed waivers. The Department of Labor will not renew any waiver absent such a request.
