Labor administers the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201,
et seq. The child labor provisions of the FLSA establish a minimum age
of 16 years for employment in nonagricultural occupations, but the
Secretary of Labor is authorized to provide by regulation for 14- and
15-year-olds to work in suitable occupations other than manufacturing
or mining, and during periods and under conditions that will not
interfere with their schooling or health and well-being. 29 CFR
570.35(b) describes the conditions of employment that allow the
employment of 14- and 15-year-olds, pursuant to a school-supervised and
school-administered Work-Study Program (WSP), under conditions Child
Labor Regulation 3 otherwise prohibit. The regulation requires the
implementation of an information collection with regard to a WSP. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register on September 28, 2021 (86 FR
53690).
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.
