    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Worker Survey aims to estimate
    the prevalence of non-compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act
    (FLSA) among nonexempt workers across various industries, with an
    emphasis on low-wage sectors. The survey employs both Address-Based
    Sampling to reach a representative sample of nonexempt U.S. workers and
    Respondent-Driven Sampling to gather data from workers in industries
    with higher incidences of wage and hour violations. The data collected
    will inform DOL in its efforts to improve compliance with the FLSA,
    optimize enforcement strategies, and enhance protections for vulnerable
    workers. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the
    related notice published in the Federal Register on August 8, 2024 (89
    FR 64960).
        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. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than
    three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information
    collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
