SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
The Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
of the Department of Labor (DOL)
administers the Employee Polygraph
Protection Act of 1988 (EPPA), 29 U.S.C.
2001 et seq. The EPPA prohibits most
private employers from using any lie
detector tests either for pre-employment
screening or during employment. The
Act contains an exemption applicable to
federal, state, and local government
employers. The EPPA also contains
several limited exemptions authorizing
polygraph tests under certain
conditions, including testing (1) by the
federal government of experts,
consultants, or employees of Federal
contractors engaged in national security
intelligence or counterintelligence
functions; (2) of employees the
employer reasonably suspects of
involvement in a workplace incident
resulting in economic loss or injury to
the employer’s business; (3) of some
prospective employees of private
armored cars, security alarm and
security guard firms; and (4) of some
current and prospective employees of
certain firms authorized to manufacture,
distribute, or dispense controlled
substances. WHD may assess civil
money penalties against employers who
violate any EPPA provision. This
amount increases annually due to the
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of
2015.
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;
