DC 20503 ((202) 395-7316), by May 23, 1997.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.

CFR Part 570.35A.
OMB Number: 1215-0121 (extension).
Frequency: Biennially.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 16,016.

Description: Section 570.35a(2) of the Fair Labor Standards Act
requires that a letter of application requesting approval of WECEP be
filed by a State educational agency with the Administrator, Wage and
Hour Division. Without this information, the Administrator would not
have the means to determine whether or not WECEP program meets
requirements to permit the employment of minors, 14 and 15 years of
age, under conditions and in occupations which are otherwise prohibited
by child labor regulations.
Agency: Employment Standards Administration.
Title: Regulations to Implement the Remedial Education Provisions
of the Fair Labor Standards Amendments of 1989--29 CFR 516.34.
OMB Number: 1215-0175 (extension).
Frequency: On occasion.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; Not for-profit
institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 15,000.
Estimated Time Per Respondent: 10 minutes.
Total Burden Hours: 5,000.
Total Annualized capital/startup costs: 0.

Description: Pursuant to Section 7(g) of the Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA), as amended, employees who lack a high school diploma or
whose reading level or basic skills are at or below the eighth grade
level may be required to attend up to ten hours per week of remedial
education. The additional hours devoted to such remedial education do
not have to be compensated at the time and one-half overtime rate set
forth in FLSA Section 7(a). However, employees must receive
compensation at their regular rate of pay for time spent receiving such
remedial education. The basic recordkeeping requirements for employers
of employees subject to the FLSA are contained in 29 CFR Part 516,
Records to be Kept by Employers. Failure to require such records to be
kept would make it very difficult to determine compliance.
