SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as
part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for final
approval. This program helps to ensure
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements can be properly assessed.
The information collection is
necessary for the U.S. Department of
Labor’s (DOL’s) award of National
Dislocated Worker Grants (NDWGs),
which are discretionary grants intended
to temporarily expand the service
capacity at the state and local area levels
by providing funding assistance in
response to major economic dislocations
or other events, as defined in the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act (WIOA) (Pub. L. 113–128).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by 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.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB control number 1205–
0439.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,
or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• 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;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• 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 submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Wage and Hour Division of the
Department of Labor administers the
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29
U.S.C. 201, et seq.,which sets the
Federal minimum wage, overtime pay,
recordkeeping, and youth employment
standards of most general application.
See 29 U.S.C. 206; 207; 211; 212. FLSA
requirements apply to employers of
employees engaged in interstate
commerce or in the production of goods
for interstate commerce and of
employees in certain enterprises,
including employees of a public agency;
however, the FLSA contains exemptions
that apply to employees in certain types
of employment. See 29 U.S.C. 213, et al.
FLSA section 11(c) requires all
employers covered by the FLSA to
make, keep, and preserve records of
employees and of wages, hours, and
other conditions and practices of
employment. See 29 U.S.C. 211(c). A
FLSA covered employer must maintain
the records for such period of time and
make such reports as prescribed by
regulations issued by the Secretary of
Labor. Id.
The DOL has promulgated regulations
29 CFR part 516 to establish the basic
FLSA recordkeeping requirements. The
DOL has also issued specific sections of
