SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor submitted a proposed
revision to the information collection titled: Employment Information
Form (OMB Control Number 1235-0021), in conjunction with a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). This NPRM proposed updating and revising
the regulations issued under the Fair Labor Standards Act implementing
the exemptions from minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for
executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer
employees (RIN 1235-AA20, ``Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for
Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales and Computer
Employees).'' The NPRM published in the Federal Register on March 22,
2019 (84 FR 10900). OMB asked the Department to resubmit the
information collection request upon promulgation of the final rule and
after considering public comments on the proposed rule. On September
27, 2019, the Department published the final rule, ``Defining and
Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional,
Outside Sales and Computer Employees'' (84 FR 51230), and submitted to
OMB for approval a revision to this ICR, ``Employment Information
Form.'' OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3)
years without renewal and the approval for this collection was
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2019. As a result, the Department
submitted the revised burden estimates associated with the final rule
and sought to extend PRA authorization for the information collection
for three (3) more years. The Department provided notice of the
submission of the information collection to OMB in the Federal Register
on September 27, 2019 (84 FR 51179).
On November 19, 2019, the OMB issued a Notice of Action approving
the revision and extension of this information collection under OMB
Control Number 1235-0021. Section (k) of 5 CFR 1320.11, ``Clearance of
Collections of Information in Proposed Rules'' states, ``After receipt
of notification of OMB's approval, instruction to make a substantive or
material change to, disapproval of a collection of information, or
failure to act, the agency shall publish a notice in the Federal
Register to inform the public of OMB's decision.'' This notice fulfills
the Department's obligation to notify the public of OMB's approval of
the information collection request.
Dated: November 25, 2019.

Director, Division of Regulations, Legislation, and Interpretation.
