SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Application for a Farm Labor Contractor or Farm Labor Contractor 
Employee Certificate of Registration information collection. Migrant 
and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) section 101 
provides that no individual may perform farm labor contracting 
activities without a certificate of registration. See 29 U.S.C. 1811. 
Form WH-530 is the application form that provides the DOL with the 
information necessary to issue certificates specifying the farm labor 
contracting activities authorized. In addition, certain vehicle and 
safety standards are required of a farm- labor contractor applicant and 
such data is collected via forms WH-514, WH-514a, and WH-515. MSPA 
sections 102, 105, and 511 authorize this information collection. See 
29 U.S.C. 1811(b), 1812, 1815, 1861.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1235-0016.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on November 30, 2018. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection

[[Page 62385]]

requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension 
while they undergo review. For additional substantive information about 
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on 
April 24, 2018 (83 FR 17855).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1235-0016. 
The OMB 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 submission of responses.
