guidance search tool as a single, searchable location where users may search for guidance issued by any of the Department’s agencies, including significant guidance documents under Executive Order 12866. Individual guidance documents are maintained on the various agency websites, and if you know what agency you are looking for, you may also find guidance by navigating directly to that agency’s website. The <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/cfr/2020/">Code of Federal Regulations</a> and the <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/">Federal Register</a>, which are not maintained by the Department, also include some of the Department’s interpretations of law and similar material.</p><p>The Department and its agencies issue guidance to provide clarifying information and technical assistance to the public on existing statutory and regulatory rights and obligations, inform the regulated community about best practices, and provide other useful information. The contents of these documents do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way, except as authorized by law or incorporated into a contract, cooperative agreement, or grant.</p><p>Members of the public may petition the Department to modify or withdraw specific guidance documents. To petition for a significant guidance document to be created, modified, reconsidered, or rescinded, <a href="mailto:TalkAboutGuidance@dol.gov">email the Department of Labor</a>.</p><p>Petitions to Modify or Withdraw a DOL guidance document may also be submitted by mail at the address below.
