Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). A copy of 
each individual ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may be 
obtained by calling the Department of Labor Acting Departmental 
Clearance Officer, Theresa M. O'Malley ((202) 219-5095). Individuals 
who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TTY/TDD) may call 
(202) 219-4720 between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday 
through Friday.
    Comments should be sent to Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for BLS, DM, ESA, ETA, MSHA, OSHA, 
PWBA, or VETS, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, 
DC 20503 ((202) 395-7316), within 30 days from the date of this 
publication in the Federal Register.
    The OMB 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;
    * 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.
    Agency: Employment Standards Administration.

Department of Labor Safety Standards, WH-514a.
    OMB Number: 1215-0036.
    Agency Number: WH-514, WH-514a.
    Frequency: As needed.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-

    Description: The Department of Labor seeks to revise this 
information collection to implement the minimum transportation 
liability insurance requirement for migrant workers published as a 
final rule on May 16, 1996. The information collected on Forms WH-514 
and WH-514a specifically identifies the vehicles for which 
authorization to transport migrant and seasonal agricultural workers is 
requested and notes the applicable safety standards met by each 
vehicle. The form is completed by the mechanic making the safety 
inspection of the vehicle. Without this information, it would be 
impossible for the Wage and Hour Division to verify that vehicles used 
to transport migrant and seasonal agricultural workers meet the safety 
standards required by the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker 
Protection Act.
    Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    OMB Number: 1220-0141.

procedures, including questionnaire design, interviewing procedures, 
and administration technology.
