Research: Impact of Inflationary Increases
According to the 2023 Club Leaders’ Perspective Report, club leaders are expecting continued high inflationary increases to impact key departmental expense budgets. On average, increases to payroll expenses (7.3 percent) are expected to outpace non-payroll expenses (6.2 percent). These expectations reflect a slight increase from last year. Notably, expected increases to F&B expenses for payroll and non-payroll are slightly less than las year.

OSHA Finalizes Changes to Injury & Illness Recordkeeping Regulation
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued its final changes to the requirements for employers to submit their injury and illness data annually electronically. The final rule retains the existing requirement applicable to employers with 250 or more employees, including clubs, to electronically submit information from their Form 300A to OSHA annually. Additionally, to improve data quality, employers are required to include their legal company name when making electronic submissions to OSHA.

Waters Advocacy Coalition Calls for Thorough WOTUS Rewrite by EPA and Army Corps
As part of the Waters Advocacy Coalition (WAC), CMAA has urged the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Army Corps of Engineers to carefully reconsider key interpretations in the 2023 Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule as the agencies revise the rule to align with the Supreme Court’s opinion in Sackett v. EPA.
In its letter on Monday, July 24, WAC wrote, “EPA and the Corps have stated that they intend to issue a final rule by September 1, 2023, that amends the Biden WOTUS Rule to ensure consistency with the decision in Sackett. Based on this truncated rulemaking timeline, it appears that the Agencies will forego public comment and simply strike language from the rule related to the significant nexus test as well as the definition of ‘adjacent,’ while reinforcing the Agencies’ interpretation of the ‘relatively permanent’ test set forth in the preamble. That is not a defensible response to Sackett or an appropriate approach to this rulemaking.”
