State educational agencies are required to file applications for approval of Work Experience and Career Explorations Programs (WECEP), which provide exceptions to the child labor regulations issued under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). State educational agencies are also required to maintain certain records with respect to approved WECEP programs.

There is no material change in the public burden imposed by this information collection. Adjustments have been recorded in the ROCIS database to reflect the three parts covered by the overall WECEP information collection request and the fact that schools would be independent respondents from States. These adjustments result in an increase of two additional information collections being identified and 280 additional respondents. In addition, prior estimates reflected only a single recordkeeping item for each State Education Agency to record each school enrolling students under a WECEP. Identifying each entry as a separate response results in an adjustment reflecting an increase of 273 estimated responses but no additional burden hours, because prior submissions reflected the total time. Finally, the Department has increased the maintenance and operational cost publicly reported via n.classweekly.com Web site by $3.00, rounded, because Form OMB-83-I that was previously used to report costs sought entries in $1,000 increments. The ROCIS database reports costs more precisely. The Department has mentioned these costs in prior supporting statements for this collection of information.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
