SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

information:
Title of Proposal: Federal Labor
Standards Payee Verification and
Payment Processing.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
2501–0021.
Description of the need for this
information and proposed use: HUD,
and State, local, and Tribal agencies
administering HUD-assisted programs
must enforce Federal labor standards
requirements, including the payment of
prevailing wage rates to laborers and
mechanics employed on HUD-assisted
construction and maintenance work that
is covered by these requirements.
Enforcement activities include securing
funds to ensure the payment of wage
restitution that has been or may be
found due to laborers and mechanics
who were employed on HUD-assisted
projects, and the payment of liquidated
damages that may be assessed for
violations of Contract Work Hours and
Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA)
overtime violations. Ultimately, these
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
funds are deposited to an account in the
U.S. Treasury. If the labor standards
discrepancies are resolved, HUD
refunds associated amounts to the
depositor. As underpaid laborers and
mechanics are located, HUD sends wage
restitution payments to the affected
workers. Liquidated damages assessed
for CWHSSA overtime violations are
retained by HUD.
In order to make refunds and wage
restitution payments, HUD must verify
the identity of the payee to ensure that
the refund is made to the correct
depositor or wage restitution to the
correct worker before payment is made.
In order to complete these verifications,
HUD will request information such as
the depositor’s or payee’s tax
identification number (i.e., employer
identification number or Social Security
Number); the project name or number;
and/or the worker’s employer’s name.
All refunds from labor standards
deposit accounts are made,
electronically. Depositors entitled to a
refund must provide to HUD the name,
address, and the account information for
the banking institution to which the
depositor wants the refund sent. Wage
restitution payments may be made by
check or electronically, at the payee’s
choice. HUD must collect either the
payee’s mailing address, so that a check
may be sent to them, or banking
information for an electronic payment.
Agency form numbers: HUD–4734,
Labor Standards Deposit Voucher. This
form is completed by HUD staff after
depositor or payee verification and the
collection of payment processing
information, i.e., banking details or
mailing address.
Members of affected public:
Developers and prime contractors
engaged on HUD-assisted construction
or maintenance work subject to Federal
labor standards requirements;
construction and maintenance laborers
and mechanics employed on HUDassisted projects subject to Federal labor
standards requirements that are entitled
to wage restitution.
Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of responses,
and hours of response: The estimated
number of respondents is 50 per year.
The estimated number of hours needed
per respondent is .1 hours. The total
public burden is estimated to be 5 hours
per year. Payees do not need to
complete a form; the information may
be collected by HUD in person, by
telephone, or in writing, at the payee’s
option.
Status: Extension of a currently
approved collection.
