A copy of the proposed information request can be obtained by contacting the office listed below in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this Notice.

TTY/TTD callers may dial tollfree (877) 889–5627 to obtain information or request materials in alternative formats. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background: Given changes in economic conditions and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations since the 2000 employee and employer surveys, the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Labor needs to collect new information on the use and need of FMLA leave in order to update DOL’s understanding of leave-taking behavior and to close current data gaps remaining from the previous surveys. To better understand both employees’ and employers’ experience with FMLA, two new surveys will be conducted to collect information about the need for and the experience with family and medical leave from employees’ and employers’ perspectives. This study will help the Department by providing information on current workplace practices related to family and medical leave. An indepth analysis of private sector FMLA policies allows WHD to determine how those policies affect the work-life balance of workers and the productivity and work flow of employers. The study enables DOL to shape future regulatory options, craft interpretive guidance (such as plain language fact sheets), develop compliance programs (employer outreach and investigation policies), and establish regulatory priorities based on sound, current data rather than on outdated data or anecdotal information. Finally, the study provides a data set by which DOL can evaluate the effect on employer compliance of a range of FMLA activities—regulatory, educational, investigative, and legal—on employer compliance. Two previous FMLA surveys have been conducted. The first FMLA study, in which workers and employers were surveyed to learn about family and medical leave policies and their effect on workers and their employers, was conducted in 1995 by the bipartisan Commission on Family and Medical Leave. The final report on this survey, titled ‘‘A Workable Balance: Report to Congress on Family and Medical Leave Policies,’’ is available online at https:// www.dol.gov/whd/fmla/1995Report/ family.htm. The second study was conducted in 2000 by Westat at the request of the Department. The Westat study updated the 1995 data by E:\FR\FM\07JNN1.SGM 07JNN1
