Dear Secretary Solis:

On December 7, 2009, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published its Fall 2009 Semiannual Regulatory Agenda in the Federal Register. This agenda noted DOL's intention to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in August 2010, entitled Records to Be Kept By Employers Under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("the anticipated rulemaking"). At the time, DOL characterized the proposal as an "update [to] the recordkeeping regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in order to enhance the transparency and disclosure to workers of how their pay is computed, and to modernize other requirements under 'telework' and 'flexiplace' arrangements."

In subsequent Semiannual Regulatory Agendas, DOL changed the title of this anticipated rulemaking to Right to Know Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and delayed its projected date for issuing a NPRM.
