days from the date of this publication in the Federal Register.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is

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.

Title: Waiver of Child Labor Provisions for Agricultural Employment
of 10 and 11 Year Old Minors in Hand Harvesting of Short Season Crops--
29 CFR Part 575.
OMB Number: 1215-0120.
Affected Public: Farms and Individuals or households.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Number of Respondents: 1.
Number of Annual Responses: 1.
[[Page 32376]]
Estimated Time Per Response: 4 hours.
Total Burden Hours: 4.
Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: $0.
Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing
services): $0.
Description: Section 13(c)(4) of the Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201 et seq., authorizes the Secretary of Labor to
grant a waiver of the child labor provisions of the FLSA for the
agricultural employment of 10 and 11 year old minors in the hand
harvesting of short season crops if specific requirements are met. The
Act requires that employers who are granted such waivers keep on file a
signed statement of the parent or person standing in the place of the
parent of each 10 and 11 year old minor, consenting to their
employment, along with a record of the name and address of the school
in which the minor is enrolled.
The application for a waiver and supporting data is used by the
Department of Labor to determine whether the statutory requirements and
conditions for granting an exemption have been met which would permit
the applicants to employ 10 and 11 year olds to hand harvest short
season crops. Without this information, the Department of Labor would
not have the statutory authority to grant a waiver.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
