SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95). 44 U.S.C. 3056(c)(2)(A). This program helps to ensure that
requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial
[[Page 19998]]
resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood,
and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed.
Currently, the Wage and Hour Division is soliciting comments
concerning its analysis that the Department's proposed rule, published
on February 25, 2016 at 81 FR 9592, if finalized as proposed, would
create a slight paperwork burden associated with ICR 1235-0021 but
would not create a paperwork burden on the regulated community of the
information collection provisions contained in ICR 1235-0018.
Additionally, the Department seeks comments on its analysis that this
NPRM, if finalized as proposed, would create a new paperwork burden on
the regulated community as described in the new information collection
provisions contained in ICR 1235-0NEW. While much of the information
provided to OMB in support of the information collection request
appears in the preamble, interested parties may obtain a copy of the
full supporting statements for ICR 1235-0018, ICR 1235-0021, and ICR
1235-0NEW by sending a written request to the email address or mail
address shown in the ADDRESSES section at the beginning of this notice
or by calling the telephone number listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.

Assistant Administrator for Policy, Wage and Hour Division.
