SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
has approved under the PRA information collection requirements
contained in recently revised final regulations under the Family and
Medical Leave Act published by the Department of Labor in the Federal
Register on November 17, 2008. See 73 FR 67934. The preamble to the new
regulations stated an effective date of January 18, 2009; however, the
OMB had not yet provided a PRA-required approval for the revised
information collection requirements contained in the revised FMLA rules
at the time of their publication. 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(2). An agency may
not conduct an information collection unless it has a currently valid
OMB approval; therefore, in accordance with the PRA, the effective date
of the information collection requirements in the revised regulations
was delayed until the OMB approved them under the PRA. 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(1)(B)(iii)(V). On December 14, 2008, the OMB approved the
Department's information collection request under Control Number 1215-
0181; thus, giving effect to the requirements, as announced and
published in the Federal Register on November 17, 2008, under the PRA.
The current expiration date for OMB authorization for this information
collection is December 31, 2011.
Dated: January 9, 2009.
Victoria A. Lipnic,
Assistant Secretary, Employment Standards Administration.
Alexander J. Passantino,
Acting Administrator, Wage and Hour Division.
