SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 221(a) of Title II, Chapter 2 of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended by
the Trade Act of 2002, authorizes the
Secretary of Labor and the Governor of
each state to accept petitions for
certification of eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance. The petitions
may be filed by a group of workers, their
certified or recognized union or duly
authorized representative, employers of
such workers, one-stop operators or onestop partners. ETA Form 9042A,
Petition for Trade Adjustment
Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance, and its Spanish
PO 00000

translation, ETA Form 9042A–1,
Solicitud De Asistencia Para Ajuste,
establish a format that may be used for
filing such petitions.
Sections 222, 223 and 249 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, require
the Secretary of Labor to issue a
determination for groups of workers as
to their eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA). After
reviewing all of the information
obtained for each petition for Trade
Adjustment Assistance filed with the
Department, a determination is issued
as to whether the statutory criteria for
certification are met. The information
collected in ETA Form 9043a, Business
Confidential Data Request, ETA Form
9118, Business Confidential Non
Production Questionnaire, and ETA
Form 8562a, Business Confidential
Customer Survey, will be used by the
Secretary to determine to what extent, if
any, increased imports or shifts in
production have impacted the
petitioning worker group.
II. Review Focus
ETA 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.
III. Current Actions

revision, of OMB approved information

Background
III. Current Actions
Proposed Extension of the Approval of
Information Collection Requirements
Section 7(e)(3)(b) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act permits the exclusion
from an employee’s regular rate of pay,
payments on behalf of an employee to
a ‘‘bona fide’’ thrift or savings plan,
profit-sharing plan or trust. Regulations,
29 CFR Parts 547 and 549 set forth the
requirements for what constitutes a
‘‘bona fide’’ thrift or savings plan, profitsharing plan or trust. The maintenance
of the records required by the
regulations enables Department of Labor
investigators to determine whether
contributions to a given thrift or savings
plan, profit-sharing plan or trust may be
excluded in calculating the regular rate
of pay for overtime purposes in
compliance with section 7(e)(3)(b) of the
FLSA. Without these records, such a
determination could not be made. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through February 28,
2009.
The Department of Labor seeks
approval for the extension of this
currently approved information
collection in order to determine whether
contributions to a given thrift or savings
plan or profit-sharing plan or trust may
be excluded in calculating the regular
rate of pay for overtime purposes under
section (7)(e)(3)(b) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
