Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 20, 2019 / Notices
Polygraph Protection Act of 1988
(EPPA), 29 U.S.C. 2001 et seq. The
EPPA prohibits most private employers
from using any lie detector tests either
for pre-employment screening or during
the course of employment. The Act
contains an exemption applicable to
Federal, State and local government
employers. The EPPA also contains
several limited exemptions authorizing
polygraph tests under certain
conditions, including testing: (1) By the
Federal Government of experts,
consultants, or employees of Federal
contractors engaged in national security
intelligence or counterintelligence
functions; (2) of employees the
employer reasonably suspects of
involvement in a workplace incident
resulting in economic loss or injury to
the employer’s business; (3) of some
prospective employees of private
armored cars, security alarm and
security guard firms; and (4) of some
current and prospective employees of
certain firms authorized to manufacture,
distribute, or dispense controlled
substances. The WHD may assess civil
money penalties against employers who
violate any EPPA provision. This
amount increases annually due to the
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of
2015. On November 2, 2015, the Federal
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 was signed
into law to advance the effectiveness of
civil money penalties and to strengthen
their deterrent effect. Outdated penalties
are a problem because civil penalties are
less effective when they do not keep
pace with the cost of living. The law
directs agencies across the federal
government to adjust their penalties for
inflation each year in January.
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,
