84620 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 226 / Wednesday, November 23, 2016 / Notices 

I. Background: The Migrant and 

Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection 

Act (MSPA) safeguards migrant and 

seasonal agricultural workers in their 

interactions with Farm Labor 

Contractors, Agricultural Employers and 

Agricultural Associations, and providers 

of migrant farm worker housing. See 

Public Law 97–470. The MSPA requires 

Farm Labor Contractors, Agricultural 

Employers, and Agricultural 

Associations, who recruit, solicit, hire, 

employ, furnish, transport, or house 

agricultural workers, as well as 

providers of migrant housing, to meet 

certain minimum requirements in their 

dealings with migrant and seasonal 

agricultural workers. Various sections of 

the MSPA require respondents (e.g., 

Farm Labor Contractors, Agricultural 

Employers, and Agricultural 

Associations to disclose terms and 

conditions in writing to their workers. 

MSPA sections 201(g) and 301(f) 

requires that the DOL make forms 

available to provide such information. 

The DOL prints and makes optional-use 

form WH–516, Worker Information— 

Terms and Conditions of Employment. 

MSPA sections 201(d) and 301(c)—29 

U.S.C. 1821(d), 1831(c) and regulations 

29 CFR 500.80(a), require each Farm 

Labor Contractor, Agricultural 

Employer, and Agricultural Association 

that employs a migrant or seasonal 

worker to make, keep, and preserve 

records for three years for each such 

worker concerning the: (1) Basis on 

which wages are paid; (2) number of 

piece work units earned, if paid on a 

piece work basis; (3) number of hours 

worked; (4) total pay period earnings; 

(5) specific sums withheld and the 

purpose of each sum withheld; (6) net 

pay. Respondents are also required to 

provide an itemized written statement 

of this information to each migrant and 

seasonal agricultural worker each pay 

period. See 29 U.S.C. 1821(d), 1831(c), 

and 29 CFR 500.1-.80(d). Additionally, 

MSPA sections 201(e) and 301(d) 

require each Farm Labor Contractor 

provide copies of all the records noted 

above for the migrant and seasonal 

agricultural workers the contractor has 

furnished to other Farm Labor 

Contractors, Agricultural Employers, or 

Agricultural Associations who use the 

workers. Respondents must also make 

and keep certain records. Section 201(c) 

of the MSPA requires all Farm Labor 

Contractors, Agricultural Employers, 

and Agricultural Associations providing 

housing to a migrant agricultural worker 

to post in a conspicuous place at the site 

of the housing, or present to the migrant 

worker, a written statement of any 

housing occupancy terms and 

conditions. See 29 U.S.C. 1821(c); 29 

CFR 500.75. In addition, MSPA section 

201(g) requires them to provide such 

information in English, or as necessary 

and reasonable, in a language common 

to the workers. See 29 U.S.C. 1821(g). 

The provision also requires DOL make 

the optional forms available to provide 

the required disclosures. See 29 U.S.C. 

1821(g); 29 CFR 500.1(i)(2). 

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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

• 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; 

• 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 seeks an approval for the 

extension of this information collection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs, (OWCP) 

administers the Longshore and Harbor 

Workers’ Compensation Act. This Act 

was amended on October 27, 1972, to 

provide for continuation of death 

benefits for a child or certain other 

surviving dependents after the age of 18 

years (to age 23) if the dependent 

qualifies as a student as defined in 

section 2(18) of the Act. The benefit 

would also be terminated if the 

dependent completes four years of 

education beyond high school. Form 

LS–266 is to be submitted by the parent 

or guardian for whom continuation of 

benefits is sought. The statements 

contained on the form must be verified 

by an official of the education 

institution. The information is used by 

the DOL to determine whether a 

continuation of the benefits is justified. 

This information collection is currently 

approved for use through March 31, 

2017. 

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
