The U. S. Department of Labor (DOL) headquarters building, the Frances Perkins Building (FPB), has conference and meeting capabilities located in its public space areas that entities outside of the Department may request to use. Use of public space in Federal buildings is governed by Section 581 (h) of Title 40 of the United States Code (40 U.S.C. Section 581(h)). DOL has authority to issue occasional use permits to organizations engaging in "cultural," "educational," or "recreational" activities (permits are not available for "commercial" purposes.) FMR 102-74, Subpart D - Occasional Use of Public Buildings establishes rules and regulations for the occasional use of public areas of public buildings for cultural, educational and recreational activities as provided by 40 U.S.C. 581(h)(2). The public space use application in this Federal Register notice is designed to obtain information from entities outside DOL to help DOL comply with the Federal and Depart mental rules and regulations.
