Proposed Extension of the Approval of 

Information Collection Requirements 

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 

proposal to extend OMB approval of the 

information collection: Work 

Experience and Career Exploration 

(WECEP) Regulations, 29 CFR 570.35a. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the office listed below in the

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 contains the requirements 

and criteria for the use of 14- and 15- 

year olds and the occupations permitted 

for them, and the conditions of 

employment that allow for the 

employment of 14- and 15-year olds, 

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 the 

preparation of a written training 

agreement for each student participating 

in a WECEP and that such agreement be 

signed by the teacher-coordinator, 

employer, and 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 

April 30, 2009.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Office of Workers’

Compensation Programs (OWCP) 

administers the Longshore and Harbor 

Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). 

The Act provides benefits to workers 

injured in maritime employment on the 

navigable waters of the United States or 

in adjoining areas customarily used by 

an employer in loading, unloading, 

repairing or building a vessel. In 

addition, several acts extend Longshore 

Act coverage to certain other employees. 

Pursuant to section 914(g) of the 

Longshore Act, and 20 CFR 702.235, 

once an employer has made a final 

payment on a compensation claim, 

he/she shall file with the district 

director in the affected compensation 

district on or before the sixteenth day 

after the final payment has been made, 

a notice, in accordance with a form 

prescribed by the Secretary, stating the 

amount, type and dates of compensation 

paid on the claim. Form 

LS–208 has been designated for this 

purpose. Form LS–208 is used by 

insurance carriers and self-insured 

employers to notify that payment under 

the Longshore Act and extensions has 

been terminated. The information is 

used by OWCP district offices to 

determine the return-to-work status of a 

claimant. This information collection is 

currently approved for use through 

February 28, 2009. 

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 for the 

extension of this currently approved 

information collection in order to carry 

out its responsibility to meet the 

statutory requirements to provide 

compensation or death benefits under 

the Act to workers covered under the 

Act. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Agency: Employment Standards 

Administration.
