SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    I. Background: The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the Department 
of Labor (DOL) administers the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker 
Protection Act (MSPA), 29 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. The MSPA protects migrant 
and seasonal agricultural workers by establishing employment standards 
related to wages, housing, transportation, disclosures, and 
recordkeeping. The MSPA also requires farm labor contractors and farm 
labor contractor employees to register with the U.S. Department of 
Labor and to obtain special authorization before housing, transporting, 
or driving covered workers. The MSPA requires that any person owning or 
controlling any facility or real property to be used for housing 
migrant agricultural workers shall not permit such housing to be 
occupied by any worker unless copy of a certificate of occupancy from 
the state, local or federal agency that conducted the housing safety 
and health inspection is posted at the site of the facility or real 
property. The certificate attests that the facility or real property 
meets applicable safety and health standards. Form WH-520 is an 
information gathering form and the certificate of occupancy that the 
Wage and Hour Division issues when it is the federal agency conducting 
the safety and health inspection.
    II. Review Focus: The Department of Labor is particularly 
interested in comments which:
     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;
     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 an approval for the extension 
of this information collection that requires any person owning or 
controlling any facility or real property to be occupied by migrant 
agricultural workers to obtain a certificate of occupancy.
    Type of Review: Extension.
    Agency: Wage and Hour Division.
