The Labor-Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act (LMRDA) requires unions to file initial and annual
financial reports, and copies of their constitution and bylaws,
with DOL, as well as trusteeship reports under certain
circumstances. Under certain circumstances, reports are required of
union officers and employees, employers, labor relations
consultants, and surety companies. All reports are available for
public disclosure. Filers are required to retain supporting records
for five years.

In comparison to the previous
submission (35,297 responses and 4,644,849 burden hours), a
decrease of 230 in responses and 64.14 in annualized burden hours
attributable to OLMS updating the 5-year average used to estimate
the burden. This updated estimate offsets the increase of 65 hours
due to adding new line items to the Form LM-10.
