Special Industry Committee for All

Industries in American Samoa;

Appointment; Convention; Hearing

1. Pursuant to sections 5 and 6(a)(3)

of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

of 1938, as amended (29 U.S.C. 205,

206(a)(3)), Reorganization Plan No. 6 of

1950 (3 CFR 1949–53 Comp., p. 1004)

and 29 CFR Part 511, I hereby appoint

special Industry Committee No. 22 for

American Samoa.
58 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 58 / Wednesday, March 26, 1997 / Notices

2. Pursuant to sections 5, 6(a)(3) and

8 of the FLSA, as amended (29 U.S.C.

205, 206(a)(3), and 208), reorganization

Plan No. 6 of 1950 (3 CFR 1949–53

Comp., p. 1004), and 29 CFR part 511,

I hereby:

(a) Convene the above-appointed

industry committee;

(b) Refer to the industry committee

the question of the minimum rate or

rates for all industries in American

Samoa to be paid under section 6(a)(3)

of FLSA, as amended; and,

(c) Give notice of the hearing to be

held by the committee at the time and

place indicated.

The industry committee shall

investigate conditions in such

industries, and the committee, or any

authorized subcommittee thereof, shall

hear such witnesses and receive such

evidence as may be necessary or

appropriate to enable the committee to

perform its duties and functions under

the FLSA.

The committee shall meet in

executive session to commence its

investigation at 9:00 a.m. and begin its

public hearing at 11:00 a.m. on June 23,

1997, in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

3. The rate or rates recommended by

the committee shall not exceed the rate

prescribed by section 6(a) or 6(b) of the

FLSA, as amended by the Fair Labor

Standards Amendments of 1996, of

$4.75 an hour effective October 1, 1996.

The committee shall recommend to

the Administrator of the Wage and Hour

Division of the Department of Labor the

highest minimum rate or rates of wages

for such industries that it determines,

having due regard to economic and

competitive conditions, will not

substantially curtail employment in

such industries, and will not give any

industry in American Samoa a

competitive advantage over any

industry in the United States outside of

American Samoa.

4. Where the committee finds that a

higher minimum wage may be

determined for employees engaged in

certain activities or in the manufacture

of certain products in the industry than

may be determined for other employees

in the industry, the committee shall

recommend such reasonable

classifications within the industry as it

determines to be necessary for the

purpose of fixing for each classification

the highest minimum wage rate that can

be determined for it under the

principles set forth herein and in 29

CFR Part 511.10, that will not

substantially curtail employment in

such classification and will not give a

competitive advantage to any group in

the industry. No classification shall be

made, however, and no minimum wage

rate shall be fixed solely on a regional

basis or on the basis of age or sex. In

determining whether there should be

classifications within an industry, in

making such classifications, and in

determining the minimum wage rates

for such classifications, the committee

shall consider, among other relevant

factors, the following:

(a) Competitive conditions as affected

by transportation, living, and

production costs;

(b) Wages established for work of like

or comparable character by collective

labor agreements negotiated between

employers and employees by

representatives of their own choosing;

and,

(c) Wages paid for work of like or

comparable character by employers who

voluntarily maintain minimum wage

standards in the industry.

5. Prior to the hearing, the

Administrator of the Wage and Hour

Division, U.S. Department of Labor,

shall prepare an economic report

containing the information that has been

assembled pertinent to the matters

referred to the committee. Copies of this

report may be obtained at the Office of

the Governor, Pago Pago, American

Samoa, and the National Office of the

Wage and Hour Division, U.S.

Department of Labor, Washington, DC

20210. Upon request, the Wage and

Hour Division will mail copies to

interested persons who make written

request to the Wage and Hour Division.

To facilitate mailing, such persons

should make advance written request to

the Wage and Hour Division. The

committee will take official notice of the

facts stated in this report. Parties,

however, shall be afforded an

opportunity to refute such facts by

evidence received at the hearing.

6. The procedure of this industry

committee will be governed by the

provisions of Title 29, Code of Federal

Regulations, Part 511. Copies of this part

of the regulations will be available at the

Office of the Governor, Pago Pago,

American Samoa, and at the National

Office of the Wage and Hour Division.

The proceedings will be conducted in

English but in the event a witness

should wish to testify in Samoan, an

interpreter will be provided. As a

prerequisite to participation as a party,

interested persons shall file six copies of

a pre-hearing statement at the

aforementioned Office of the Governor

of American Samoa and six copies at the

National Office of the Wage and Hour

Division, U.S. Department of Labor,

Washington, DC 20210. Each prehearing statement shall contain the data

specified in 29 CFR 511.8 of the

regulations and shall be filed not later

than May 30, 1997. If such statements

are sent by airmail between American

Samoa and the mainland, such filing

shall be deemed timely if postmarked

within the time provided.

Signed at Washington, DC this 19th day of

March 1997.
