Notice: OLMS Proposes to Require Employers and Consultants to Report EINs on Forms LM-10, LM-20, and LM-21

Revisions to Forms LM-10, 20, 21, and Technical Revision to Form LM-1

On October 3, 2024, The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) published a notice of information collection in the Federal Register seeking comments on a proposed revision to the Form LM-10 Employer Report, and the Forms LM-20 and 21 filed by labor relations consultants, and their corresponding instructions. Additionally, OLMS proposes a technical revision to the Form LM-1 instructions. The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA), in part, establishes labor-management transparency through reporting and disclosure requirements for labor organizations and officials, employers, labor relations consultants, and surety companies. OLMS seeks to amend the Form LM-10, Form LM-20, and Form LM-21 to supplement the identifying information OLMS already collects from employers and consultants. 

OLMS proposes to revise the Form LM-10 Employer Report, and the Forms LM-20 and 21 filed by labor relations consultants, and their corresponding instructions, to require employers and their consultants to provide the Employment Identification Number (EIN) of the filer and other parties to the agreement for the performance of covered activities under Section 203 of the LMRDA. Additionally, OLMS proposes to revise the Form LM-20 and its instructions to require primary consultants to provide the EIN for sub-consultants who performed covered activities under any part of the agreement, and for sub-consultants to provide EIN and a mailing address for the primary consultants for whom they are performing services pursuant to the agreement. OLMS also seeks to require each filer to provide the email addresses of the corresponding parties to the agreement that triggered the reporting requirement. The email addresses will not appear on the submitted forms or otherwise be publicly available, but OLMS will seek to use the email addresses to ensure compliance.Finally, OLMS proposes a technical revision to the Form LM-1 instructions, Item 9, to match the corresponding item on the form.

Submit comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection by December 2, 2024.
