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. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on February 28, 2023 (88 FR 12700).
    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 the OMB approves it 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 that does not

display a valid OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for

three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
