6(a)(3) and 8 provide that covered, nonexempt employees in American Samoa
may be paid at minimum wage rates
established by a Special Industry
Committee, in lieu of the general federal
minimum wage specified in section
6(a)(1) of the Act. The FLSA requires the
Committee to recommend to the
Secretary of Labor the highest minimum
wage rate—not to exceed the rate
required under FLSA section 6(a)(1)—
that it determines, having due regard to
economic and competitive conditions,
will not substantially curtail
employment in the industry and will
not give any industry in American
Samoa a competitive advantage over any
industry in the U.S. outside of American
Samoa. The Committee must consider
competitive conditions as affected by
transportation, living and production
costs; the wages established by
collective bargaining agreements in
various industries; and wages paid by
employers who voluntarily maintain
minimum wage standards.
FLSA section 5(d) requires the
Secretary of Labor to provide data on
the matters the Committee will
consider. Regulations 29 CFR 511.6 and
511.11 require that the Administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of
the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
prepare for the Committee an economic
report containing data pertinent to
establishing industry minimum wage
rates in American Samoa.
The WHD uses Form WH–1,
Economic Survey Schedule, to gather
the information necessary to prepare the
economic report. The WHD asks all
FLSA-covered employers in American
Samoa to provide data. Respondents
covered by the FLSA in American
Samoa may voluntarily provide data
concerning business operations and
employment on the form. This
information is essential to enable the
Administrator to prepare the economic
report and provide the data cited above
for the Committee to use in determining
minimum wage rates for the various
industries in American Samoa.

Description: Under section 8131 a
Federal employee can sustain a workrelated injury, for which he or she is
eligible for compensation under the
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
(FECA), under circumstance that create
a legal liability in some third party to
pay damages for the same injury. When
this occurs, section 8131 of the FECA (5
U.S.C. 8131) authorizes the Secretary of
Labor to either require the employee to
assign his or her right of action to the
United States or to prosecute the action.
When the employee receives a payment
for his or her damages, whether from a
final court judgment on or a settlement
of the action, section 8132 of the FECA
(5 U.S.C. 8132) provides that the
employee ‘‘shall refund to the United
States the amount of compensation paid
by the United States * * *’’ To enforce
the United States’ statutory right to this
refund, the Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs has
promulgated regulations that require
both the reporting of these types of
payments (20 CFR 10.710) and the
submission of the type of detailed
information necessary to calculate the
amount of the required refund (20 CFR
10.707(e)). The information collected by
Form CA/EN–1122 is requested from the
claimant if he or she received a payment
for damages without hiring an attorney.
Form CA/EN–1108 requests this
information from the attorney if one was
hired to bring suit against the third
party. Form SOL/EN–1108 request the
same information as the CA/EN–1108 if
the claimant’s attorney contacts the
Office of the Solicitor (SOL) directly.
These forms are used to obtain
information about amounts received as
the result of a final judgment in
litigation, or a settlement of the
litigation, brought against a third party
who is liable for damage due to a
compensable work-related injury.

ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the extension of the ‘‘BLS
Occupational Safety and Health
Statistics (OSHS) Cooperative
Agreement Application Package.’’ A
copy of the proposed information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained
by contacting the individual listed
below in the ADDRESSES section of this
notice.
Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before July 3, 2006.
DATES:
Send comments to Amy A.
Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, Division
of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2

I. Background
The Secretary of Labor has delegated
to the BLS the authority to collect,
compile, and analyze statistical data on
work-related injuries and illnesses, as
authorized by the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91–596).
The Cooperative Agreement is designed
to allow the BLS to ensure conformance
with program objectives. The BLS has
full authority over the financial
operations of the statistical program.
The BLS requires financial reporting
that will produce the information that is
needed to monitor the financial
activities of the BLS Occupational
Safety and Health Statistics grantees.
II. Current Action
The BLS requests approval for a
generic OSHS Cooperative Agreement
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). This is not a new
collection, but for the first time the BLS
is soliciting comments on the
application package—without its
program work statements—as a generic
Cooperative Agreement application. The
work statements will be submitted
separately to OMB for review of any
minor year-to-year information
collection burden changes they may
contain. The Cooperative Agreement
provides the basis for effectively
managing the administrative and
financial aspects of the program. The
application package being submitted to
OMB is representative of the package
sent every year to State agencies and, as
such, is considered to be a generic
package. The existing collection of
information allows Federal staff to
negotiate the Cooperative Agreement
with the State Grant Agencies (SGAs)
and monitor their financial and
programmatic performance and
adherence to administrative
requirements imposed by common
regulations implementing OMB Circular
A–102 and other grant-related
regulations. The information collected
also is used for planning and budgeting
at the Federal level and in meeting
Federal reporting requirements.
The burden estimates are based on
actual experience of grantees
completing the forms. Public comments
on the accuracy of the burden estimates,

Description: Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201 et
seq., Sec. Sec. 5, 6(a)(3) and 8 provide that covered, non-exempt
employees in American Samoa may be paid at minimum wage rates
established by a Special Industry Committee, in lieu of the general
federal minimum wage specified in section 6(a)(1) of the Act. The FLSA
requires the Committee to recommend to the Secretary of Labor the
highest minimum wage rate--not to exceed the rate required under FLSA
section 6(a)(1)--that it determines, having due regard to economic and
competitive conditions, will not substantially curtail employment in
the industry and will not give any industry in American Samoa a

information necessary to prepare the economic report. The WHD asks all
FLSA-covered employers in American Samoa to provide data. Respondents
covered by the FLSA in American Samoa may voluntarily provide data

American Samoa.
