are valid for two-year periods. Applications for renewals must be 
submitted no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of 
the current certificate. Except as provided in subpart A, in the absence 
of a certificate, the employment of homeworkers in these industries is 
prohibited, and an employer violating this prohibition is subject to all 
the sanctions provided in the Fair Labor Standards Act and in this part, 
including an injunction restraining the employment of homeworkers.
    (c) Certificates authorizing such employment may be issued on the 
following terms and conditions upon written application to the
