Applications for Authority to
Employ Full-Time Students at Subminimum Wages in Retail/Service
Establishments/Agriculture/Institutions of Higher Education
The information is used to determine
1) whether a retail or service or agriculture employer should be
authorized to pay subminimum wages to full-time students pursuant
to the provisions of section 14(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA) and 2) whether an Institution of Higher Education should be
authorized to pay subminimum wages to its own full-time students
pursuant to the provisions of FLSA section 14(b).
The DOL is merging two related
information collections previously cleared under two OMB Control
Numbers. Heretofore, Information Collection Control Number
1215-0032 has related only to Forms WH-200 and WH-202, while
Control Number 1215-0080 has applied to Form WH-201. Upon
clearance, the DOL will suspend use of the 1215-0080 Control
Number. In addition, the agency has noticed an increase in the
number of full-time student subminimum wage certificates.
Consequently, this submission reflects a burden hour increase for
the 1215-0032 information collection, up from 43 hours to 97 hours.
The number of respondents has increased from 240 to 389 for the
same reasons. In addition, the estimated respondent mailing costs
have increased from $135.54 to $175.05 due to the increase in the
number of respondents and higher postage costs. The annual federal
cost has increased from $350.08 to $1,480, again for the same
reasons and the fact that the WHD has restructured the way in which
the agency processes certificate applications.
