Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The information is collected using interviews with laborers and mechanics and is compared with employer's certified payroll reports received through other systems. When the collected information is compared with the employer's submitted reports, the information should duplicate itself proving the reports received match the information collected meaning likely compliance with federal labor standards. When there is a difference, an investigation takes place to determine the discrepancy and, when appropriate, declare a federal labor standard violation with steps taken to correct the violation. This collection focuses on the employee as the respondent.
