Sec. 520.406  What happens once I have submitted my request for 

authorization to pay messengers, learners, or apprentices subminimum 
wages?

    (a) All applications submitted for authorization to pay wages lower 
than those required by section 6(a) of the FLSA will be considered and 
acted upon (issued or denied) subject to the conditions specified in 
Sec. Sec. 520.403 and 520.404 of this part.
    (b) If, in the case of messengers and/or learners, available 
information indicates that the requirements of this part are satisfied, 
the Administrator shall issue a special certificate which will be mailed 
to the employer. If a special certificate is denied, the employer shall 
be given written notice of the denial. If a messenger and/or learner 
certificate is denied, notice of such denial shall be without prejudice 
to the filing of any subsequent application.
    (c) If, in the case of apprentices, the apprenticeship agreement and 
other available information indicate that the requirements of this part 
are satisfied, the Administrator shall issue a special certificate. The 
special certificate, if issued, shall be mailed to the employer or the 
apprenticeship committee and a copy shall be mailed to the apprentice. 
If a special certificate is denied, the employer or the apprenticeship 
committee, the apprentice and the recognized apprenticeship agency shall 
be given written notice of the denial. The employer shall pay the 
apprentice the minimum wage applicable under section 6(a) of the FLSA 
from the date of receipt of notice of such denial.
