Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

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. 3506(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

Employment Standards Administration

is soliciting comments concerning the

proposed revision Applications to

Employ Special Industrial Homeworkers

and Workers with Disabilities (WH–2,

226, and 226A).

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addressee section no later than August

27, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Ms. Patricia A. Forkel, U.S.

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution

Ave., NW, Room S–3201, Washington,

DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0339

(this is not a toll-free number), fax (202)

693–1451.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Background

Section 11(d) of the Fair Labor

Standards Act (FLSA) authorizes the

Secretary of Labor to regulate, restrict,

or prohibit industrial homework as

necessary to prevent evasion of the

minimum wage requirements of the Act.

The Department of Labor has restricted

homework in seven industries to those

employees who obtain certificates.

Individual certificates may be issued to

any industry for an individual

homeworker who is unable to leave

home because of a disability or must

remain home to care for an invalid.

Section 14c of the FLSA provides for the

employment of workers with disabilities

at subminimum wages in order to

prevent curtailment of employment

opportunities for such individuals.

Employers utilizing the provisions of

section 14c must obtain certificates

issued by the Department of Labor. The

WH–2 is used by employers to obtain

certificates to employ individual

homeworkers in one of the restricted

homework industries. The WH–226 and

supplemental data Form 226A are used

by employers to obtain authorization to

employ workers with disabilities in

certain establishments at subminimum

wages.

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 Department of Labor, as a result

of recommendations made by the

agency FLSA Section 14(c) Working

Group and the U.S. Government

Accounting Office (GAO), has revised

Forms WH–226 and WH–226A. Form

WH–2 remains unchanged. The WH–

226 and WH–226A have been

streamlined and simplified to facilitate

the application process. Definitions

have been provided and the instructions

for completing each form have been

expanded and clarified. Applicants are

requested to provide two new pieces of

information, but these requests do not

increase the burden on the public. We

are requesting that the applicant provide

its Federal Identification Number (EIN)

and the number of its previous

certificate. Both pieces of information

are readily available to the applicant

and both pieces will be preprinted on

the renewal package sent to each

employer. These changes, considered

along with the streamlining of the form,

added definitions and clarified

instructions, do not require any

adjustment in current burden estimated

for completion of these forms.
