DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment Standards Administration 

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 collection: The Remedial 

Education Provisions of the Fair Labor 

Standards Act. A copy of the proposed 

information collection request can be 

obtained by contacting the office listed 

below in the ADDRESSES section of this 

Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section below on or before 

January 17, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: Ms. Hazel M. Bell, U.S. 

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 

Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington, 

DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0418,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 

29 U.S.C. 201 et seq., sets minimum 

wage, overtime pay, youth employment 

and certain recordkeeping standards. 

These requirements generally apply to 

employees engaged in interstate 

commerce or in the production of goods 

for interstate commerce, as well as to 

employees in certain enterprises 

(including employees of a public 

agency); however, the Act provides 

exemptions from some of its standards 

for employees in certain types of 

employment. 

The FLSA generally requires 

employers to pay overtime hours (i.e., 

time in excess of forty hours in a 

workweek) worked by employees 

covered by the Act at time and one-half 

the employee’s regular rate of pay. FLSA 

section 7(q) provides a partial overtime 

exemption that allows an employer to 

employ any employee who lacks a high 

school diploma or whose reading level 

or basic skills is at or below the eighth 

grade level for up to ten overtime hours 

per week without paying the usually 

required half-time premium, if the 

employee is receiving remedial 

education during such overtime hours. 

The employer-provided remedial 

education must be designed to provide 

up to eighth grade level basic skills or 

to fulfill the requirements for a high 

school diploma or General Educational 

Development (GED) certificate and may 

not include job-specific training. The 

employer must also compensate for time 

spent in such remedial education at no 

less than the employee’s regular rate of 

pay. Regulations, 29 CFR Part 516, 

Records to be Kept by Employers, 

contain the basic recordkeeping 

requirements for employers of 

employees subject to FLSA protections. 

In addition to the basic recordkeeping 

requirements, Regulations 29 CFR 

516.34 requires employers using this 

partial overtime exemption to indicate 

the hours an employee engages in 

exempt remedial education each 

workday and total hours each 

workweek. The employer may either 

state the hours separately or make a 

notation on the payroll. The subject 

information collection relates only to 

the section 516.34 requirements. This 

information collection is currently 

approved for use through July 31, 2006. 

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 seeks the 

approval of the extension of this 

information collection in order to 

review and determine employer 

compliance with the applicable section 

of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). 

These recordkeeping requirements for 

employers utilizing the partial overtime 

exemption for remedial education are 

necessary to ensure employees are paid 

in compliance with the remedial 

education provisions of the FLSA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I.Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuing a license amendment to LifeNet 

for Materials License No. 45–25601–01, 

to authorize release of its facility located 

at 1457 Miller Store Road in Virginia 

Beach, Virginia, for unrestricted use. 

NRC has prepared an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) in support of this

requirements of 10 CFR Part 51. Based 

on the EA, the NRC has concluded that 

a Finding of No Significant Impact
