The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage
and Hour Division administers the Family and Medical Leave Act
(FMLA), 29 U.S.C. 2601 et seq, 29 CFR Part 825. In 1996 and 2000,
the Federal government funded the collection of nationally
representative data on the FMLA from employers and employees. Given
changes in economic conditions and the FMLA since the last employer
and employee surveys, the Wage and Hour Division proposes to
conduct an employer survey and an employee survey to obtain current
representative data for FMLA leave usage in light of 18 years of
administering the law and in light of changes to FMLA leave brought
on by amendments to the FMLA. The survey data will provide an
update to DOL's understanding of leave-taking behavior and
employer/employee experiences with FMLA.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
