(a) These regulations coordinate the activities of ESA, OSHA and
ETA, and are intended to:
(1) Ensure effective enforcement efforts under the protective
statutes--i.e., the Farm Labor Contractor Registration Act (FLCRA), the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and the Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA) (protective statutes).
(2) Ensure that the enforcement efforts of DOL agencies are
coordinated to maximize their effectiveness, yet minimize unnecessary
duplication.
(3) Focus the attention of DOL agencies upon the special employment-
related problems faced by migrant farmworkers.
(4) Coordinate DOL enforcement efforts with related activities of
farmworker groups, federal and State agencies, and other concerned
parties outside the Department of Labor whose operations are related to
the employment, housing, and working conditions of migrant farmworkers.
(5) Establish an information exchange which will afford the
Department, farmworker groups, and other concerned parties outside the
Department of Labor the opportunity to exchange information concerning
wages, hours and working conditions.
