The DOL created the subject
information collections (i.e., notifications) to implement
statutory notice and certification provisions and to assist
employees and employers in meeting their FMLA third-party
notification obligations as required by the Family and Medical
Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) and by the amendments to FMLA contained in
National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2010 (NDAA), Pub. L. No.
111-84, and Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act, Pub. L.
No. 111-119. The subject recordkeeping requirements are necessary
in order for the DOL to carry out its statutory obligation under
FMLA section 106 to investigate and ensure employer compliance. 29
U.S.C. § 2616.

Compared to the last OMB
clearance of the FMLA information collections on February 9, 2012,
this request reflects an overall burden increase of 17,892 hours
that results from proposed regulatory changes. In addition, this
request reflects an increase of 379,050 responses, which also stem
from proposed regulatory changes, and a difference of $135,730 in
maintenance and operations costs. The changed paperwork burden
estimates stem from the expansion of FMLA-leave to employees to
care for covered veterans with serious injuries or illnesses; and
increased wages rates for persons completing the information
collections and other higher costs, as discussed in Item 13 of the
supporting statement.
