The DOL created the subject
information collections (i.e., notifications) to implement
statutory notice and certification provisions and to assist
employees and employers in meeting their FMLA third-party
notification obligations as required by The Family and Medical
Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) as amended. The subject recordkeeping
requirements are necessary in order for the DOL to carry out its
statutory obligation under FMLA section 106 to investigate and
ensure employer compliance. 29 U.S.C. § 2616.
PL: Pub.L. 111 - 84 585(a)(s)-(3)(D) Name of
Law: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010
PL: Pub.L. 111 - 119 2 Name of Law: Airline Flight Crew Technical
Corrections Act
Compared to the last OMB
clearance of the FMLA information collections on February 9, 2012,
this request reflects an overall burden increase of 39,358 hours
that result from proposed regulatory changes. In addition, this
request reflects an increase of 820,553 responses, which also stem
from proposed regulatory changes, and a difference of $300,545 in
maintenance and operations costs. The changed paperwork burden
estimates stem from (1) the expansion of FMLA-leave eligibility to
airline flight crew employees; (2) the expansion of FMLA-leave to
employees to care for covered veterans with serious injuries or
illnesses; (3) an expansion of FMLA-leave to employee-family
members of covered servicemen in the Regular Armed Forces; and (4)
increased wages rates for persons completing the information
collections and other higher costs, as discussed in Item 13 of the
supporting statement.
