A BILL

the concurrence of the State, may issue a permit
under section 402 which modifies the requirements

charged into the marine environment. The pro-
gram must be cost effective and not result in an
unreasonable increase in sewer and water rates.
‘‘(2) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this sub-

into marine waters’ has the meaning such phrase
has under subsection (h) of this section.’’.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE AND FINDINGS. 
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the 
‘‘Preserving America’s Family Farms Act’’. 
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(1) family farms have a long history and tradi-
tion of providing youth with valuable work experi-
ence; 
(2) Department of Labor regulations should not 
adversely impact the longstanding tradition of youth 
working on farms where they can gain valuable skills 
and lessons on hard work, character, and leadership; 
(3) the Department of Labor’s proposed regula-
tions would have curtailed opportunities for youth to 
gain experiential learning and hands-on skills for en-
rollment in vocational agricultural training; 
(4) the proposed regulations would have ob-
structed the opportunity for youth to find rewarding 
employment and earn money for a college education 
or other meaningful purposes; 
(5) the proposed regulations would have limited 
opportunities for young farmers wishing to pursue a 
career in agriculture at a time when the average age 
of farmers continues to rise; and 
(6) working on a farm has become a way of life 
for thousands of youth across the rural United 
States.
SEC. 2. RULE RELATING TO CHILD LABOR. 
The Secretary of Labor shall not reissue in substan-
tially the same form, or issue a new rule that is substan-
tially the same as, the proposed rule entitled ‘‘Child Labor 
Regulations, Orders and Statements of Interpretation; 
Child Labor Violations—Civil Money Penalties’’ (pub-
lished at 76 Fed. Reg. 54836 (September 2, 2011)).
