SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On September 8, 2023, consistent with its statutory authority to define and delimit the EAP exemption, the Department published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to revise the part 541 regulations (88 FR 62152). At the time, the Department submitted this collection (as a duplicate ICR under OMB Control Number 1235-0NEW) for public comment as this collection (1235-0021) was encumbered by a different rulemaking by the Department. On October 12, 2023, OMB issued a Notice of Action assigning temporary OMB control number 1235-0035 to the duplicate ICR and asking that the Department address any comments ( printed page 48446) received during the public comment period and resubmit at the final rule stage. The Department of Labor submitted a revision to the information collection titled: Employment Information Form (OMB Control Number 1235-0021) in conjunction with a final rule published in the Federal Register on April 26, 2024 (89 FR 32842). The final rule is titled “Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales, and Computer Employees,” RIN 1235-AA39. OMB issued a Notice of Action (NOA) on May 29, 2024, approving the collection and extending the expiration of the collection to May 31, 2027, under OMB Control Number 1235-0021.

Section (k) of 5 CFR 1320.11, “Clearance of Collections of Information in Proposed Rules” states, “After receipt of notification of OMB's approval, instruction to make a substantive or material change to, disapproval of a collection of information, or failure to act, the agency shall publish a notice in the Federal Register to inform the public of OMB's decision.” This notice fulfills the Department's obligation to notify the public of OMB's approval of the information collection request.

Acting Director, Division of Regulations, Legislation and Interpretation.
