DEPARTMENT OF LABOR


Secretary's Order 02-2020--Procedures for Appointment of 
Individuals to Department of Labor Appellate Boards

    1. Purpose. To cancel Secretary's Order 05-2018, which has created 
inefficiencies in the process by which individuals are appointed to the 
Department of Labor's appellate boards.
    2. Authorities. This Order is issued under the authority of 5 
U.S.C. 301 (Departmental Regulations) and 29 U.S.C. 551 et seq. 
(Establishment of Department; Secretary; Seal).
    3. Background. The Secretary of Labor has the authority and 
responsibility to appoint the members of the Department's three 
appellate boards: the Administrative Review Board (ARB), the Benefits 
Review Board (BRB), and the Employees' Compensation Appeals Board 
(ECAB). In Secretary's Order 05-2018, the Secretary created a formal, 
multi-step process by which these appointments are made. Because this 
process has caused unnecessary inefficiencies in the appointment of 
individuals to the Department's appellate boards, the Secretary has 
decided to rescind Secretary's Order 05-2018.
    4. Directives Affected. Secretary's Order 05-2018 is hereby 
cancelled, effective immediately

    Dated: February 21, 2020.
Eugene Scalia,
Secretary of Labor.
