jursidiction to consider the validity or constitutionality of JS 
regulations or of the Federal statutes under which they are promulgated.

decision. The DOL Administrative Law Judge shall send a copy of the 
decision stating the findings and conclusions of law and fact and the 
reasons therefor to the parties to the hearing, including the State 
agency, the Regional Administrator, the Administrator, and the
