SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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

1821(g); 29 CFR 500.1(i)(2).

Labor is particularly interested in

collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including

practical utility;

SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The collection of information
supports the selection process of
individuals to participate in the NASA
Datanaut program. NASA’s corps of
Datanauts features leaders from across
the data/maker/tech communities with
diverse skill sets who use data in
innovative ways. This corps of creative
thinkers are interested in engaging with
NASA and pioneering the future of
exploration-focused data science.
Datanauts are citizens personally and/or
professionally invested in the use and
applications of NASA data. Members
have unique early opportunities to test
datasets and tools, uncover new use
cases for NASA data, and have their
visualization, application or storytelling
work featured by NASA.
This information will be used by the
NASA Datanaut administrative
personnel, during the application
selection process, to gain insight into
the applicant’s interest and skill level in
data analysis and visualization.
Information collected will be limited to
full name, city, state and country of
origin, email, biography, background
