The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has finally cleared its review of the PERM regulation. It contains the notation "Consistent with Change." Now that OMB has completed its review, the DOL must decide whether or when to publish PERM in the Federal Register so that it may be implemented effective from a certain date. The PERM procedures cannot go into effect until the final regulation is published in the Federal Register. The DOL mentioned that they had changed the effective date for PERM from 120 days to only 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register. The text of the PERM regulation will not be available to the public until it is published in the Federal Register. It is not yet possible to confirm what revisions have been made to the regulation since the publication of the original proposed rule. We will provide more information as soon as it becomes available. |
