SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Any person who owns or controls a facility 
or real property to be used for housing migrant agricultural workers 
cannot permit any such worker to occupy the housing unless a 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. 
The housing provider must retain the original copy of the certificate 
for three years and make it available for inspection. Form WH-520 is 
the form used when the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division 
inspects and approves such housing.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the 
collection of information does not display a valid OMB control number. 
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this 
information collection under OMB Control Number 1235-0006. The current 
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2011; however, it should 
be

    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within 30 days of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should reference OMB Control Number 1235-0006. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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.
