BILLING CODE 4510–FT–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Standards Administration 

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: Employment of 

Apprentices, Messengers and Learners 

(Including Student-Learners and 

Student-Workers), Forms WH–205 and 

WH–209. 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 

December 8, 2008. 

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

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 

Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington, 

DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0418,

method of transmission for comments 

(mail, fax, or E-mail). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: Fair Labor Standards 

Act (FLSA) section 14(a) requires that 

the Secretary of Labor, to the extent 

necessary to prevent curtailment of 

employment opportunities, provide by 

regulations or orders for the 

employment of categories of workers 

who, under special certificates, may be 

paid less than the generally applicable 

minimum wage set by section 6(a)(1) of 

the FLSA. 29 U.S.C. 206(a), 214(a); see 

also 29 CFR 520.200. This section also 

authorizes the Secretary to set 

limitations on such employment as to 

time, number, proportion, and length of 

service. 29 U.S.C. 214(a). These workers 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

58668 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 7, 2008 / Notices 

include apprentices, messengers, and 

learners (including student-learners and 

student-workers). 29 CFR 520.200. 

Regulations found at 29 CFR Part 520 

contain the provisions that implement 

the section 14(a) requirements. Form 

WH–205 is the application an employer 

uses to obtain a certificate to employ 

student-learners at wages lower than the 

general federal minimum wage. Form 

WH–209 is the application an employer 

uses to request a certificate authorizing 

the employer to employ learners and/or 

messengers at subminimum wage rates. 

There is no application form that 

employers complete to obtain authority 

from DOL to employ apprentices at 

subminimum wages. This information 

collection is currently approved for use 

through April 30, 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 under the special 

minimum wage program.
