Sec. 501.20  Enforcement of Wage and Hour investigative authority.

    Sections 501.5 through 501.7 of this part prescribe the 
investigation authority conferred upon the Wage and Hour Division for 
the purpose of enforcing the contractual obligations. These sections 
indicate the actions which may be taken upon failure to permit or 
interference with an investigation. No person shall interfere with any 
employee of the Secretary who is exercising or attempting to exercise 
this investigative or enforcement authority. As stated in Sec. Sec. 
501.5, 501.6 and in 501.19 of this part, a civil money penalty may be 
assessed for each failure to permit an investigation or interference 
therewith, and other appropriate relief may be sought. In addition Wage 
and Hour shall report each such occurrence to ETA and may recommend to 
ETA denial of future labor certifications. The taking of any one action 
shall not bar the taking of any additional action.
