DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Office of the Secretary

August 1, 2002.
    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 
contact Marlene Howze at (202) 693-4158 or E-mail [email protected].
    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: Housing Terms and Conditions.
    OMB Number: 1215-0146.
    Affected Public: Farms; individuals or households; and business or 
other for-profit.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Number of Respondents: 1,300.
    Number of Annual Responses: 1,300.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 30 minutes.
    Total Burden Hours: 650.
    Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: $0.
    Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing 
services): $0.
    Description: Section 201(c) of the Migrant and Seasonal 
Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA), 29 USC 1801 et seq., 
requires that any farm labor contractor, agricultural employer or 
agricultural association that provides housing to any migrant 
agricultural worker post in a conspicuous place or present to such 
worker a statement of the terms and conditions, if any, of occupancy of 
such housing. In addition, Section 201(g) of MSPA requires that such 
information be provided in English, or as necessary and reasonable, in 
a language common to the workers and that the Department of Labor make 
forms available to provide such information. Section 500.75(f) and (g) 
of Regulations, 29 CFR part 500, of MSPA, sets forth the terms of 
occupancy of housing which are to be posted or given in a written 
statement to the worker. Section 500.1(i)(2) provides for optional Form 
WH-521, which may be used to satisfy sections 201(c) and 201(g) of 
MSPA. While use of the form is optional, disclosure of the information 
is required by MSPA. Less frequent disclosure would prevent the 
Department of Labor from determining compliance with this requirement 
of MSPA.
