SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments
are invited on: (1) Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Department, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) if the information
will be processed and used in a timely
manner; (3) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimates of the burden and cost of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (4) ways to enhance

The Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
of the Department of Labor (DOL)
administers the Employee 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 Outdated penalties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. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
November 20, 2019 (84 FR 64109).

law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)

cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.

and recordkeeping. The MSPA also
requires farm labor contractors and farm
labor contractor employees to register
with the U.S. Department of Labor and
to obtain special authorization before
housing, transporting, or driving
covered workers. The MSPA requires
that any person owning or controlling
any facility or real property to be used

shall not permit such housing to be
occupied by any worker unless copy of
a certificate of occupancy from the state,
local, or federal agency that conducted
the housing safety and health inspection
is posted at the site of the facility or real
property. The certificate attests that the
facility or real property meets applicable
safety and health standards. Form WH–
520 is an information gathering form
and the certificate of occupancy that the
Wage and Hour Division issues when it
is the federal agency conducting the
safety and health inspection. For
