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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor submitted a proposed 
revision to the information collection titled: Employment Information 
Form (OMB Control Number 1235-0021), 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, ``Employment Information 
Form.'' 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 1235-0021. 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.
