On November 20, the US Department of Labor announced rules to update regulations and decrease burden on businesses. These regulation changes have been put into effect to eliminate rules that have been deemed by the department to be obsolete.

The rules complement President Obama's executive order 13610 to modernize the regulatory system and reduce unjustified regulatory burdens.
