I. Background
The Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
of the Department of Labor administers
the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29
U.S.C. 201, et seq. Section 3(l) of the Act
establishes a minimum age of 16 years
for most non-agricultural employment,
but allows the employment of 14- and
15-year olds in occupations other than
manufacturing and mining if the
Secretary of Labor determines such
employment is confined to: (1) periods
that will not interfere with the minor’s
schooling; and (2) conditions that will
not interfere with the minor’s health
and well-being. FLSA section 11(c)

PO 00000

Frm 00069

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

requires all covered employers to make,
keep, and preserve records of their
employees’ wages, hours, and other
conditions of employment. Section 11(c)
authorizes the Secretary of Labor to
prescribe the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements for these
records. The regulations set forth
reporting requirements that include a
Work Study Program application and
written participation agreement. In
order to use the child labor work study
provisions, § 570.37(b) requires a local
public or private school system to file
with the Wage and Hour Division
Administrator an application for
approval of a Work Study Program as
one that does not interfere with the
schooling or health and well-being of
the minors involved. The regulations
also require preparation of a written
participation agreement for each student
participating in a Work Study Program
and that the teacher-coordinator,
employer, and student each sign the
agreement.
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;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
• 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;
• 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
approval for an extension of this
information collection in order to
ensure effective administration of Work
Study programs.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Wage and Hour Division.
Title: Work Study Program of the
Child Labor Regulations.

The Office of Workers’ Compensation

and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.
The Act provides benefits to workers
injured in maritime employment on the
navigable waters of the United States or
in an adjoining area customarily used by
an employer in loading, unloading,
repairing, or building a vessel. In
addition, several acts extend the
Longshore Act’s coverage to certain
other employees. Legal authority for this
information collection is found at 33
U.S.C. 930(a) and (b). Under sections
914(b) & (c) of the Longshore Act, a selfinsured employer or insurance carrier is
required to pay compensation within 14
days after the employer has knowledge
of the injury or death and immediately
notify the district director of the
payment. Under Section 914(g), the
employer/carrier is required to issue
notification of final payment of
compensation. Form LS–208 has been
designated as the proper form on which
report of those payments is to be made.
Legal authority for this information
collection is found at 33 U.S.C. 914(b),
(c) & (g). Regulatory authority is found
