Short Statement: The DOL has revised and adjusted the burden for this information collection to reflect an increase in the number of employees subject to the FLSA, to revise the methodology in order better to reflect the frequency of recordkeeping, and more fully to itemize individual requirements. While the DOL discussed the FLSA recordkeeping requirements in prior supporting statements, please note the ROCIS has only reflected estimates for the general recordkeeping requirements discussed in § 516.2. The current submission more fully presents the information into the ROCIS.
