(records to be kept by employers under the Fair Labor Standards Act 
(FLSA)). The regulation at 29 CFR 516 reflects the basic recordkeeping 
and reporting requirements for the laws administered by the Department 
of Labor Wage and Hour Division.
    FAR 22.406-3, implements the recordkeeping and information 
collection requirements prescribed in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii) cleared
