AGENCY:

Wage and Hour Division,

Labor.
ACTION:

Notice.

The Department of Labor
(DOL), as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, conducts a preclearance
consultation program to provide the
general public and Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing collections
of information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). This program
helps to ensure that requested data can
be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, the Wage and Hour Division
is soliciting comments concerning its
proposal to extend Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval of the Information Collections:
Application for a Farm Labor Contractor
or Farm Labor Contractor Employee
Certificate of Registration; Motor
Vehicle Safety for Transportation of
Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural
Workers. Further, the Department is
soliciting comments concerning its
proposal to make revisions to the forms
WH–514, WH–514a, WH–515, and WH–
530. A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Migrant and
Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection
Act (MSPA) provides that no person
shall engage in any farm labor
contracting activity for any money or
valuable consideration paid or promised
to be paid, unless such person has a
certificate of registration from the
Secretary of Labor specifying which
farm labor contracting activities such
person is authorized to perform. See 29
U.S.C. 1802(7), 1811(a); 29 CFR 500.1(c),
500.20(i), 500.40. The MSPA also
provides that a Farm Labor Contractor
(FLC) shall not hire, employ, or use any
individual to perform farm labor
contracting activities unless such
individual has a certificate of
registration as a FLC or a certificate of
registration as a Farm Labor Contractor
Employee (FLCE) of the FLC that
authorizes the activity for which such
individual is hired, employed or used.
29 U.S.C. 1811(b); 29 CFR 500.1(c).
Form WH–530 is an application used to
obtain a Farm Labor Contractor License.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through August 31,
2015.
The Migrant and Seasonal
Agricultural Worker Protection Act
(MSPA) section 401 (29 U.S.C. 1841)
requires, subject to certain exceptions,
all Farm Labor Contractors (FLCs),
Agricultural Employers (AGERs), and
Agricultural Associations (AGASs) to
ensure that any vehicle they use or
cause to be used to transport or drive
any migrant or seasonal agricultural
worker conforms to safety and health
standards prescribed by the Secretary of
Labor under the MSPA and with other
applicable Federal and State safety
standards. These MSPA safety standards
address the vehicle, driver, and
insurance. The Wage and Hour Division

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 57 / Wednesday, March 25, 2015 / Notices
(WHD) has created Forms WH–514,
WH–514a, and WH–515, which allow
FLC applicants to verify to the WHD
that the vehicles used to transport
migrant/seasonal agricultural workers
meet the MSPA vehicle safety standards
and that anyone who drives such
workers meets the Act’s minimum
physical requirements. The WHD uses
the information in deciding whether to
authorize the FLC/FLCE applicant to
transport/drive any migrant/seasonal
agricultural worker(s) or to cause such
transportation. Form WH–514 is used to
verify that any vehicle used or caused
to be used to transport any migrant/
seasonal agricultural worker(s) meets
the Department of Transportation (DOT)
safety standards. When the adopted
DOT rules do not apply, FLC applicants
seeking authorization to transport any
migrant/seasonal agricultural workers
use Form WH–514a to verify that the
vehicles meet the DOL safety standards
and, upon the vehicle meeting the
required safety standards, the form is
completed. Form WH–515 is a doctor’s
certificate used to document that a
motor vehicle driver or operator meets
the minimum DOT physical
requirements that the DOL has adopted.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through August 31,
2015. As part of this renewal, the
Department proposes to make revisions
to the Forms WH–514, WH–514a, WH–
515, and WH–530.
II. Review Focus: The DOL is
particularly interested in comments
that:
* Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
* Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
* Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
* Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The DOL seeks to
extend the information collection
requests for the Application for a Farm
Labor Contractor or Farm Labor
Contractor Employee Certificate of
Registration; Motor Vehicle Safety for

Covidien LP, North American Shared
Services Group, Mansfield,
Massachusetts; Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated December 11,
2014, a separated worker requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department of Labor’s negative
determination regarding eligibility to
apply for worker adjustment assistance,
applicable to workers and former
workers of Covidien LP, North
American Shared Services Group,
Mansfield, Massachusetts (Subject
Firm). The denial notice was signed on
November 25, 2014, and the Notice of
Determination was published in the
Federal Register on December 10, 2014
(79 FR 73338).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The initial investigation revealed that
the subject firm does not produce an
article within the meaning of Section
222(a) or Section 222(b) of the Act.
Rather, the investigation revealed that
the workers’ firm supplied services
related to administrative support and
customer services. In order to be
considered eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, the worker
group seeking certification (or on whose
behalf certification is being sought)
must work for a ‘‘firm’’ or appropriate
subdivision that produces an article.
The definition of a firm includes an
individual proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation
(including a development corporation),
business trust, cooperative, trustee in
bankruptcy, and receiver under decree
of any court.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner stated that the workers of the
subject firm should be eligible for TAA
because the subject firm shifted to a
foreign country the supply of like or
