In addition to providing background on the Department’s latest initiative, titled “Plan/Prevent/Protect,” this Commentary will highlight select regulations on the horizon in the Wage and Hour Division and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, as well as provide insight on three recently issued WHD Administrator’s Interpretations. Finally, during a Congressional recess in March 2010, the President filled two of the open positions by appointment.
