I. Background: The Migrant and
Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection
Act (MSPA) safeguards migrant and
seasonal agricultural workers in their
interactions with Farm Labor
Contractors, Agricultural Employers and
Agricultural Associations, and providers
of migrant farm worker housing. See
Public Law 97–470. The MSPA requires
Farm Labor Contractors, Agricultural
Employers, and Agricultural
Associations, who recruit, solicit, hire,
employ, furnish, transport, or house
agricultural workers, as well as
providers of migrant housing, to meet
certain minimum requirements in their
dealings with migrant and seasonal
agricultural workers. Various sections of
the MSPA require respondents (e.g.,
Farm Labor Contractors, Agricultural
Employers, and Agricultural
Associations to disclose terms and
conditions in writing to their workers.
MSPA sections 201(g) and 301(f)
requires that the DOL make forms
available to provide such information.
The DOL prints and makes optional-use
form WH–516, Worker Information—
Terms and Conditions of Employment.
MSPA sections 201(d) and 301(c)—29
U.S.C. 1821(d), 1831(c) and regulations
29 CFR 500.80(a), require each Farm
Labor Contractor, Agricultural
Employer, and Agricultural Association
that employs a migrant or seasonal
worker to make, keep, and preserve
records for three years for each such
worker concerning the: (1) Basis on
which wages are paid; (2) number of
piece work units earned, if paid on a
piece work basis; (3) number of hours
worked; (4) total pay period earnings;
(5) specific sums withheld and the
purpose of each sum withheld; (6) net
pay. Respondents are also required to
provide an itemized written statement
of this information to each migrant and
seasonal agricultural worker each pay
period. See 29 U.S.C. 1821(d), 1831(c),
and 29 CFR 500.1-.80(d). Additionally,
MSPA sections 201(e) and 301(d)
require each Farm Labor Contractor
provide copies of all the records noted
above for the migrant and seasonal
agricultural workers the contractor has
furnished to other Farm Labor
Contractors, Agricultural Employers, or
Agricultural Associations who use the
workers. Respondents must also make
and keep certain records. Section 201(c)
of the MSPA requires all Farm Labor
Contractors, Agricultural Employers,
and Agricultural Associations providing
housing to a migrant agricultural worker
to post in a conspicuous place at the site
of the housing, or present to the migrant
worker, a written statement of any
housing occupancy terms and

conditions. See 29 U.S.C. 1821(c); 29
CFR 500.75. In addition, MSPA section
201(g) requires them to provide such
information in English, or as necessary
and reasonable, in a language common
to the workers. See 29 U.S.C. 1821(g).
The provision also requires DOL make
the optional forms available to provide
the required disclosures. See 29 U.S.C.
1821(g); 29 CFR 500.1(i)(2).
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor 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;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
• 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;
• 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: The Department
of Labor seeks an approval for the
extension of this information collection
in order to ensure effective
administration of various special
employment programs.
