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.

continuity of operations plans or
emergency contingency plans developed
for responding to Department of
Homeland Security threat alerts,
weather related emergencies, or other
critical situations.
2. Disclosure may be made to a
Congressional office from the record of
an individual in response to an inquiry
from the Congressional office made at
the request of that individual.
3. Information from the system may
be disclosed to contractors, grantees,

individuals who perform a service to or
work on or under a contract, grant,
cooperative agreement, advisory
committee, committee of visitors, or

Federal government, as necessary to
carry out their duties in pursuit of the
purposes described above. The
contractors are subject to the provisions
of the Privacy Act.
4. Information from the system may
be merged with other computer files in
order to carry out statistical studies or
otherwise assist NSF with program
management, evaluation, and reporting.
Disclosure may be made for this
purpose to NSF contractors and
collaborating researchers, other
Government agencies, and qualified
research institutions and their staffs.
Disclosures are made only after scrutiny
of research protocols and with

Proposed Extension of the Approval of Information Collection

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to
