Notice of Approved Agency Information Collection; Information 
Collection: Records to be Kept by Employers--Fair Labor Standards Act

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the Wage 
and Hour Division (WHD) is providing notice to the public that the WHD 
sponsored information collection request (ICR) titled, ``Records to be 
Kept by Employers--Fair Labor Standards Act,'' has been approved by the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB). WHD is notifying the public that 
the information collection has been revised and extended effective 
immediately through November 30, 2022.

DATES: The OMB approval of the revision and extension of this 
information collection is effective immediately with an expiration date 
of November 30, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Waterman, Division of 
Regulations, Legislation, and Interpretations, Wage and Hour, U.S. 
Department of Labor, Room S-3502, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, 
Washington, DC 20210; telephone: (202) 693-0406 (this is not a toll-
free number) or by sending an email to [email protected]. Copies 
of this notice may be obtained in alternative formats (Large Print, 
Braille, Audio Tape or Disc), upon request, by calling (202) 693-0023 
(not a toll-free number). TTY/TDD callers may dial toll-free (877) 889-
5627 to obtain information or request materials in alternative formats.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor submitted a proposed 
revision to the information collection titled: Records to be Kept by 
Employers--Fair Labor Standards Act (OMB Control Number 1235-0018), in 
conjunction with a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). This NPRM 
proposed updating and revising the regulations issued under the Fair 
Labor Standards Act implementing the exemptions from minimum wage and 
overtime pay requirements for executive, administrative, professional, 
outside sales, and computer employees (RIN 1235-AA20, ``Defining and 
Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, 
Outside Sales and Computer Employees).'' The NPRM published in the 
Federal Register on March 22, 2019 (84 FR 10900). OMB asked the 
Department to resubmit the information collection request upon 
promulgation of the final rule and after considering public comments on 
the proposed rule. On September 27, 2019, the Department published the 
final rule, ``Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, 
Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales and Computer Employees'' 
(84 FR 51230), and submitted to OMB for approval a revision to this 
ICR, ``Records to be Kept by Employers--Fair Labor Standards Act.'' OMB 
authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years 
without renewal and the approval for this collection was scheduled to 
expire on December 31, 2019. As a result, the Department submitted the 
revised burden estimates associated with the final rule and sought to 
extend PRA authorization for the information collection for three (3) 
more years. The Department provided notice of the submission of the 
information collection to OMB in the Federal Register on September 27, 
2019 (84 FR 51179).
    On November 19, 2019, the OMB issued a Notice of Action approving 
the revision and extension of this information collection under OMB 
Control Number 1235-0018. Section (k) of 5 CFR 1320.11, ``Clearance of 
Collections of Information in Proposed Rules'' states, ``After receipt 
of notification of OMB's approval, instruction to make a substantive or 
material change to, disapproval of a collection of information, or 
failure to act, the agency shall publish a notice in the Federal 
Register to inform the public of OMB's decision.'' This notice fulfills 
the Department's obligation to notify the public of OMB's approval of 
the information collection request.

    Dated: November 25, 2019.

Director, Division of Regulations, Legislation, and Interpretation.
