True or False: The Labor Department H-2A wage rule went through normal public comment procedures before implementation.

Question

Accepted Answer

The Labor Department published an interim rule skipping notice-and-comment procedures that typically allow public input before regulations take effect. The department claimed good cause to bypass these requirements, filing the rule on October 2 during the government shutdown when most career staff were furloughed. This procedural shortcut let political appointees cut wages without the public scrutiny that normally applies to federal rulemaking.
