requirements apply to employers claiming the overtime exemption 
available under Fair Labor Standards Act section 7(e)(3)(b), 29 U.S.C. 
207(e)(3)(b). Specifically, in calculating an employee's regular rate 
of pay, an employer need not include contributions made to a bona fide 
thrift or savings plan or a bona fide profit-sharing plan or trust--as 
defined in regulations 29 CFR parts 547 and 549. An employer is 
required to communicate, or to make available to its employees, the 
terms of the bona fide thrift, savings, or profit-sharing plan or trust

7(e)(3)(b) and 11(c) authorize this information collection. See 29 
U.S.C. 207(e)(3)(b) and 211(c).

the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1235-0013.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on January 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
