## Abstract

In this direct final rule (DFR), the Department of Labor (Department) is amending three definitions in the Department of Labor Acquisition Regulation (DOLAR) in order to provide the Secretary of Labor greater flexibility and a streamlined procedure to delegate procurement authority and appoint procurement officials. Currently, the definitions section of DOLAR delegates the Secretary's procurement authority to certain specified Department officials. The changes would remove some of those specific designations, allowing the Secretary to delegate the Secretary's procurement authority and assign roles and responsibilities related to procurement through internal guidance, without the need to revise the DOLAR.
