I. Background
Section 203(b)(1) of the Migrant and
Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection
Act (MSPA), 29 U.S.C. 1801, et seq., and
Regulation 29 CFR 500.135(b) provide
that any person who owns or controls a
facility or real property to be used for
housing migrant agricultural workers
shall not permit such housing to be
occupied by any worker unless a copy
of the certificate of occupancy from the
state, local, or federal agency that
conducted the housing safety and health
inspection is posted at the site of the
facility or real property. Form WH–520
is both an information gathering form
and the certificate of occupancy that the

(DOL) issues when it is the federal
agency conducting the safety and health
inspection. This information collection
is currently approved for use through

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;
• 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;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• 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.

the approval of the extension of this
information collection in order to
inspect and certify a migrant housing
facility as meeting applicable safety and
health standards under the law.
