SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker
Protection Act provides that no individual may perform farm labor
contracting activities without a certificate of registration. Form WH-
530 is the application form that provides the Department of Labor with
the information necessary to issue certificates specifying the farm
labor contracting activities authorized. In addition, certain vehicle
and safety standards are required of farm labor contractor applicants
and such data is collected via Forms WH-514, WH-514a, WH-515, WH-530,
WH-535, and WH-540. The Department proposes to update the forms
associated with the collection in order to improve customer service and
clarify instructions and required fields. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on November 17, 2020 (85 FR 73295).
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
