Short Statement: The DOL is merging two related information collections previously cleared under two OMB Control Numbers. Heretofore, Information Collection Control Number 1215-0032 has related only to Forms WH-200 and WH-202, while Control Number 1215-0080 has applied to Form WH-201. Upon clearance, the DOL will suspend use of the 1215-0080 Control Number. In addition, the agency has noticed an increase in the number of full-time student subminimum wage certificates. Consequently, this submission reflects a burden hour increase for the 1215-0032 information collection, up from 43 hours to 97 hours. The number of respondents has increased from 240 to 389 for the same reasons. In addition, the estimated respondent mailing costs have increased from $135.54 to $175.05 due to the increase in the number of respondents and higher postage costs. The annual federal cost has increased from $350.08 to $1,480, again for the same reasons and the fact that the WHD has restructured the way in which the agency processes certificate applications.
