Labor Standards Act which sets forth the criteria for the employment of minors years of age in
agriculture. The Department's proposed revisions include implementing specific recommendations
made by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, increasing parity between the
agricultural and nonagricultural child labor provisions, and also addressing other areas that
can be improved, which were identified by the Department’s own enforcement actions. Interested
parties are invited to submit written comments on the proposed rule on or before November 1, 2011 at www.regulations.gov. Proposed Rule Website.

in the last thirty years and marks another step forward in the
