    The Department of Labor (DOL) has submitted the following public 
information collection requests (ICRs) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 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. To obtain documentation

    Comments should be sent to Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for ESA, 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.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Agency: Employment Standards Administration (ESA).
    Title: Waiver of Child Labor Provisions for Agricultural Employment 
of 10 and 11 Year Old Minors in Hand Harvesting of Short Season Crops--
29 CFR Part 575.
    OMB Number: 1215-0120.
    Affected Public: Farms and Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Number of Respondents: 1.
    Number of Annual Responses: 1.

[[Page 32376]]

    Estimated Time Per Response: 4 hours.
    Total Burden Hours: 4.
    Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: $0.
    Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing 
services): $0.
    Description: Section 13(c)(4) of the Fair Labor Standards Act 
(FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201 et seq., authorizes the Secretary of Labor to 
grant a waiver of the child labor provisions of the FLSA for the 
agricultural employment of 10 and 11 year old minors in the hand 
harvesting of short season crops if specific requirements are met. The 
Act requires that employers who are granted such waivers keep on file a 
signed statement of the parent or person standing in the place of the 
parent of each 10 and 11 year old minor, consenting to their 
employment, along with a record of the name and address of the school 
in which the minor is enrolled.
    The application for a waiver and supporting data is used by the 
Department of Labor to determine whether the statutory requirements and 
conditions for granting an exemption have been met which would permit 
the applicants to employ 10 and 11 year olds to hand harvest short 
season crops. Without this information, the Department of Labor would 
not have the statutory authority to grant a waiver.

Ira L. Mills,
Departmental Clearance Officer.
