SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
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
2018.
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;
• 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

Fmt 4703
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 DOL seeks an approval for the
extension of this information collection
that requires the keeping of records by
employers as necessary or appropriate
for the administration of the Act.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Agency: Wage and Hour Division.
