Sec. 42.7  Complaint/directed action logs.

    (a) To facilitate the Committee's review of all migrant farmworker 
complaints, including pre and post occupancy housing inspections and the 
enforcement strategies of DOL agencies, the Committee shall oversee the 
operation of a system of coordinated Complaint/Directed Action Logs 
(logs). The logs shall be maintained by each DOL agency and appropriate 
SESA and OSHA State agencies.
    (b) The logs shall record both the numbers of compliance actions 
initiated as a result of complaints and those initiated on the basis of 
directed activity. They shall also include a statistical record of all 
original referrals both from and to other DOL agencies or federal or 
State authorities.
    (1) Whenever a complaint is received and/or an investigation is 
completed by an agency, the appropriate official of that agency shall 
enter the matter on the log.
    (2) Wherever possible, the responsible agency, upon request, shall 
inform the complainant of the status of the actions pending, and shall 
inform, when applicable, the referring agency.
    (3) ESA, OSHA, USES, and the Office of the Solicitor shall be 
responsible for preparing the quarterly statistical summary by regions 
of the respective agency's compliance activity. This summary shall 
include all complaints and compliance actions which (i) were pursued to 
completion by the subagency during the reporting period or (ii) were 
received during the reporting period or earlier, and are pending. Each 
agency also shall report a summary of aging and resource allocation 
data. The summary shall be submitted to the National Committee and the 
appropriate Regional Committee.
    (c) The National Committee staff shall analyze the statistical 
summaries and shall recommend National or Regional Committee action 
where problems or short-comings are identified. Pursuant to this review, 
the National Committee shall take steps to ensure that the responsible 
agencies make timely responses to complaints and conduct vigorous 
enforcement action.
