The US Labor Department cleans up its old rulebook, removing a decade of dead regulations
What happened
The US Labor Department is removing old grant and contract rules from its books. These rules were replaced by new federal guidelines back in 2014, but they were never officially taken out of the department's own regulations.
Why it matters
This is a housekeeping item. It does not change how the Labor Department awards grants or contracts today. It simply removes outdated language that no longer applies. This kind of cleanup makes it easier for grant applicants and contractors to find the current rules without confusion.
The signal
Watch for similar notices from other federal agencies, as many still have obsolete rules on their books that were superseded by the 2014 federal guidance.
