The Department of Labor (Department or DOL) is proposing to revise the child labor regulations in order to implement two amendments of the Fair Labor Standards Act's child labor standards--the Compactors and Balers Safety Standards Modernization Act, Public Law 104-174 (August 6, 1996) (The Compactor and Baler Act); and the Drive for Teen Employment Act, Public Law 105-334 (October 31, 1998). The Compactor and Baler Act sets conditions which permit 16- and 17-year-old workers to load, but not operate or unload, certain scrap paper balers and paper box compactors. The Act also specifies that civil money penalties may be assessed for violations of these conditions. The Drive for Teen Employment Act prohibits minors under 17 years of age from driving automobiles and trucks on public roadways on the job, and establishes the conditions and criteria under which 17-year-olds may drive automobiles and trucks on public roadways on the job. The Department is also proposing to revise regulation concerning government-issued Certificates of Age. Presently, the regulation requires that the employer return the certificate to the issuing agency, except that a certificate issued for employment in agriculture may be given to the named minor and a certificate issued to an 18- or 19-year-old shall be given to the named worker. The Department proposes to modify the regulation so as to allow all workers to retrieve the certificates from their employers when their employment ends. Further, the Department is proposing revisions regarding the types of cooking that 14- and 15-year-olds may perform. The Department proposes to update the regulation and modify a long-standing DOL interpretation of this child labor standard. Finally, the Department is proposing revisions to certain provisions which prescribe certain hazardous employment for 16- and 17- year-olds. Currently, the regulation prohibits these minors from working in roofing operations. The Department is proposing to revise the regulation to prohibit all work on roofs. In addition, the Department is proposing to revise the regulation to update the definition of the terms explosives and articles containing explosive components in the prohibition on employment of minors in establishments which manufacture or store explosives.
