TITLE 29--LABOR
CHAPTER 11--LABOR-MANAGEMENT REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE PROCEDURE
SUBCHAPTER III--REPORTING BY LABOR ORGANIZATIONS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
OF LABOR ORGANIZATIONS, AND EMPLOYERS
Sec. 438. Rules and regulations; simplified reports
The Secretary shall have authority to issue, amend, and rescind
rules and regulations prescribing the form and publication of reports
required to be filed under this subchapter and such other reasonable
rules and regulations (including rules prescribing reports concerning
trusts in which a labor organization is interested) as he may find
necessary to prevent the circumvention or evasion of such reporting
requirements. In exercising his power under this section the Secretary
shall prescribe by general rule simplified reports for labor
organizations or employers for whom he finds that by virtue of their
size a detailed report would be unduly burdensome, but the Secretary may
revoke such provision for simplified forms of any labor organization or
employer if he determines, after such investigation as he deems proper
and due notice and opportunity for a hearing, that the purposes of this
section would be served thereby.
