DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Wage and Hour Division 

Proposed Extension of the Approval of 

Information Collection Requirements 

AGENCY: Wage and Hour Division, 

Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95). 44 U.S.C. 3056(c)(2)(A). This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the Wage 

and Hour Division is soliciting 

comments concerning its proposal to 

extend Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval of the 

Information Collection: Notice to 

Examinee, Work Experience and Career 

Exploration (WECEP) Regulations, 29 

CFR 570.35a. A copy of the proposed 

information request can be obtained by 

contacting the office listed below in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section below on or before 

October 24, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by Control Number 1235– 

0011, by either one of the following 

methods: E-mail:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) 

section 3(l), 29 U.S.C. 203(l) establishes 

a minimum age of 16 years for most 

nonagricultural employment but allows 

the employment of 14- and 15-year-olds 

in occupations other than 

manufacturing and mining or deemed 

hazardous, if the Secretary of Labor 

determines such employment is 

confined to (1) periods that will not 

interfere with the minor’s schooling and 

(2) conditions that will not interfere 

with the minor’s health and well-being. 

FLSA section 11(c), 29 U.S.C. 211(c), 

requires all employers covered by the 

FLSA to make, keep, and preserve 

records of their employees’ wages, 

hours, and other conditions and 

practices of employment. Regulations 

issued by the Secretary of Labor 

prescribe the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements for these 

records. Subpart C of Regulations 29 

CFR Part 570—Child Labor Regulations, 

Orders, and Statements of 

Interpretation—sets forth the 

employment standards for 14- and 15- 

year-olds (CL Reg. 3). Regulations 29 

CFR 570.35a contain the requirements 

and criteria for the employment of 14- 

and 15-year-olds in specific occupations 

pursuant to a school-supervised and 

school-administered WECEP under the 

conditions CL Reg. 3 otherwise 

prohibits. In order to utilize the CL Reg. 

3 WECEP provisions, Regulations 29 

CFR 570.35a(b)(2) requires a state 

educational agency to file an application 

for approval of a state WECEP program 

as one not interfering with schooling or 

with the health and well-being of the 

minors involved. Regulations 29 CFR 

570.35a(b)(3)(vi) requires that a written 

training agreement be prepared for each 

student participating in a WECEP and 

that such agreement be signed by the 

teacher-coordinator, the employer, and 

the student. The regulation also requires 

the student’s parent or guardian to sign 

or otherwise consent to the agreement in 

order for it to be valid. Regulations 29 

CFR 570.35a(b)(4)(ii) requires state 

education agencies to keep a record of 

the names and addresses of each school 

enrolling WECEP students and the 

number of enrollees in each unit. The 

state or local educational agency office 

must keep a copy of the written training 

agreement for each student participating 

in the WECEP. The records and copies 

must be maintained for three (3) years 

from the date of each student’s 

enrollment in the program. This 

information collection is currently 

approved for use through December 31, 

2011.

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

The DOL seeks approval for the 

extension of this currently approved 

information collection in order to carry 

out its responsibility to ensure 

compliance with the youth employment 

provisions of the FLSA and its 

regulations. Without this information, 

the Administrator would have no means 

to determine if the proposed program 

meets the regulatory requirements.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND 

SPACE ADMINISTRATION 

[Notice (11–076)] 

National Environmental Policy Act: 

Launch of NASA Routine Payloads on 

Expendable Launch Vehicles 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability and 

request for comments on the draft 

environmental assessment (‘‘Draft EA’’) 

for launch of NASA routine payloads on 

expendable launch vehicles. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.), the Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) Regulations for 

Implementing the Procedural Provisions 

of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and 

NASA NEPA policy and procedures 

(14 CFR part 1216 subpart 1216.3), 

NASA has prepared a Draft EA for 

launch of NASA routine payloads on 

expendable launch vehicles. For 

purposes of this Draft EA, NASA routine 

payloads include science instruments, 

spacecraft or technology 

demonstrations. This EA updates the 

Final Environmental Assessment for 

Launch of NASA Routine Payloads on 

Expendable Launch Vehicles from Cape 

Canaveral Air Force Station Florida and 

Vandenberg Air Force Base California 

published in June 2002. NASA missions 

covered by this Draft EA would be 

scheduled for launch at one of the 

proposed launch sites and would be 

within the total number of launch 

operations previously analyzed in 

launch vehicle and launch site NEPA 

documents. The proposed launches 

would occur from existing launch 

facilities at CCAFS, Florida, VAFB, 

California, the United States Army 

Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site 

(USAKA/RTS) in the Republic of the 

Marshall Islands (RMI), NASA’s 

Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), Virginia, 

and the Kodiak Launch Complex (KLC), 

Alaska. The Cooperating Agencies on 

this Draft EA include the Federal 

Aviation Administration (FAA), the Air 

Force Space and Missile Systems 

Center, the U.S. Army Space and 

Missile Defense Command, and the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA). 

The Draft EA analyzes the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

preparing and implementing launches 

of missions that are designated NASA 

routine payloads on U.S. expendable 

launch vehicles from existing U.S. 

facilities using established procedures. 

The NASA routine payloads meet 

rigorously defined criteria ensuring that 

the spacecraft and their operation would 

not present any new or substantial 

environmental and safety concerns. A 

Routine Payload Checklist is used to 

exclude missions from consideration as 

routine payloads if they: (1) Include any 

extraterrestrial sample return; (2) would 

be launched on a vehicle or from a 

launch site for which NASA has not 

completed NEPA compliance; (3) carry 

radioactive sources that could not be 

approved by the NASA Office of Safety 

and Mission Assurance Nuclear Flight 

Safety Assurance Manager or designee; 

(4) cause the manifested launch rate (per 

year) for a particular launch vehicle to 

exceed the rate previously approved and 

permitted at the launch sites; (5) require 

the construction of any new facilities (or 

substantial modification of existing 

facilities); (6) utilize hazardous 

materials in quantities exceeding the 

Envelope Payload Characteristics 

(EPCs); (7) utilize potentially hazardous 

material whose type or amount would 

not be covered by new or existing local 

permits; (8) release material other than 

propulsion system exhaust or inert gases 

into the atmosphere; (9) suggest the 

potential for any substantial impact on 

public health and safety not covered by 

this Draft EA; (10) have the potential for 

substantial effects on the environment 

outside the United States; (11) utilize an 

Earth-pointing laser system that does 

not meet the requirements for safe 

operations according to American 

National Standards Institute analysis 

techniques; (12) carry live or inactive 

disease-causing biological agents 

beyond Biological Safety Level 1; or (13) 

have the potential to create substantial 

public controversy related to 

environmental issues. 

Payloads that fall within the Routine 

Payload Checklist would utilize 

materials, quantities of materials, 

launch vehicles, and operational 

characteristics that are consistent with 

normal and routine payload preparation 

and flight activities at these specified 

launch sites. Therefore, the 

environmental impacts of launching 

routine payloads would fall within the 

range of routine, ongoing, and 

previously documented impacts 

associated with approved programs that 

have been determined not to be 

significant. The purpose and need for
