Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act

This document amends the regulations under the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) to implement statutory changes to MSPA concerning the relationship between workers' compensation benefits and the benefits available under the MSPA. The statutory amendments to MSPA specifically require changes in the MSPA regulations concerning disclosure of workers' compensation information and additionally require reconsideration of the MSPA-required transportation liability insurance. This document also amends existing regulations to provide for expedited proceedings before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) on actions initiated by the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division to revoke, suspend, or refuse to issue or renew a Farm Labor Contractor Certificate of Registration, and for expedited review by the Secretary of Labor in such cases. Lastly, this document amends the regulations to indicate that the Certificate of Registration issued to farm labor contractors will reflect the maximum number of farm workers authorized to be transported.
