About the Administrative Review Board

The Administrative Review Board (ARB) was established by Secretary's Order 2-96 (Apr. 17, 1996), and began operations on May 3, 1996.

The ARB replaced the Office of Administrative Appeals, the Wage Appeals Board and the Board of Service Contract Appeals, and is designated to issues final agency decisions under a number of laws where such decisions were previously issued by the Secretary of Labor. See Secretary's Order 02-2012, Delegation of Authority and Assignment of Responsibility to the Administrative Review Board, 77 Fed. Reg. 69377 (Nov. 16, 2012) (effective Oct. 19, 2012)
