SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Migrant and
Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection
Act (MSPA) safeguards migrant and
seasonal agricultural workers in their
interactions with Farm Labor
Contractors, Agricultural Employers and
Agricultural Associations, and providers
of migrant farm worker housing. See
Public Law 97–470. The MSPA requires

Farm Labor Contractors, Agricultural
Employers, and Agricultural
Associations, who recruit, solicit, hire,
employ, furnish, transport, or house
agricultural workers, as well as
providers of migrant housing, to meet
certain minimum requirements in their
dealings with migrant and seasonal
agricultural workers. Various sections of
the MSPA require respondents (e.g.,
Farm Labor Contractors, Agricultural
Employers, and Agricultural
Associations to disclose terms and
conditions in writing to their workers.
MSPA sections 201(g) and 301(f)
requires that the DOL make forms
available to provide such information.
The DOL prints and makes optional-use
form WH–516, Worker Information—
Terms and Conditions of Employment.
MSPA sections 201(d) and 301(c)—29
U.S.C. 1821(d), 1831(c) and regulations
29 CFR 500.80(a), require each Farm
Labor Contractor, Agricultural
Employer, and Agricultural Association
that employs a migrant or seasonal
worker to make, keep, and preserve
records for three years for each such
worker concerning the: (1) Basis on
which wages are paid; (2) number of
piece work units earned, if paid on a
piece work basis; (3) number of hours
worked; (4) total pay period earnings;
(5) specific sums withheld and the
purpose of each sum withheld; (6) net
pay. Respondents are also required to
provide an itemized written statement
of this information to each migrant and
seasonal agricultural worker each pay
period. See 29 U.S.C. 1821(d), 1831(c),
and 29 CFR 500.1–.80(d). Additionally,
MSPA sections 201(e) and 301(d)
require each Farm Labor Contractor
provide copies of all the records noted
above for the migrant and seasonal
agricultural workers the contractor has
furnished to other Farm Labor
Contractors, Agricultural Employers, or
Agricultural Associations who use the
workers. Respondents must also make
and keep certain records. Section 201(c)
of the MSPA requires all Farm Labor
Contractors, Agricultural Employers,
and Agricultural Associations providing
housing to a migrant agricultural worker
to post in a conspicuous place at the site
of the housing, or present to the migrant
worker, a written statement of any
housing occupancy terms and
conditions. See 29 U.S.C. 1821(c); 29
CFR 500.75. In addition, MSPA section
201(g) requires them to provide such
information in English, or as necessary
and reasonable, in a language common
to the workers. See 29 U.S.C. 1821(g).
The provision also requires DOL make
the optional forms available to provide
