The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act provides that no individual may perform farm labor contracting activities without a certificate of registration. Form WH-530 is the application form that provides the Department of Labor with the information necessary to issue certificates specifying the farm labor contracting activities authorized. In addition, certain vehicle and safety standards are required of farm labor contractor applicants and such data is collected via Forms WH-514, WH-514a, WH-515, WH-530, WH-535, and WH-540.

There are multiple reasons for the change in costs. One, the previous forms were changed and broken down into multiple forms for clarity and ease of use. Two, the data used in the previous packages has aged in light of updated numbers or applicants and responses. Three, there has been an updated number of responses and applicants based on the most recent numbers provided. Additionally, there was an increase in salaries for government workers, and the added cost of benefits and overhead, as well as a slight increase in the cost of postage. Because of the addition of two forms, WH-535 and WH-540, the burden increased as a result of agency discretion.
