                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 511_WAGE ORDER PROCEDURE FOR AMERICAN SAMOA--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 511.19  Petitions.

    Any interested person may at any time file a petition with the 
Administrator for an amendment to the regulations contained in this part 
or for an amendment to a wage order applicable to that person. In view 
of the statutory requirement that the minimum rates of wages established 
by order under section 6 of the Act be reviewed by an industry committee 
at least biennially, substantial cause must be shown in support of any 
petition for an amendment of a wage order out of regular course. Any 
interested person may also file a petition at any time with the 
Administrator for a public hearing under section 13(e) of the Act to 
determine whether economic conditions warrant rules or regulations 
providing reasonable limitations or allowing reasonable variations, 
tolerances, or exemptions to or from any or all of the provisions of 
section 7 of the Act with respect to employees in American Samoa for 
whom the Secretary of Labor has established minimum wage rates under 
section 6(a)(3) of the Act and the regulations contained in this part. 
Whenever it appears to the Secretary of Labor, by reason of such a 
petition or otherwise, to be probable that such a hearing is likely to 
reveal that economic conditions warrant such action, notice of such 
hearing specifying the procedure to be followed will be published in the 
Federal Register.
