    Department of Labor

    Dear Mr. Clark:

         The General Accounting Office has made a limited survey of the
    Employment Standards Administration's (ESA) enforcement activities
    under  the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) as amended, and
    related acts.  Our work was performed primarily at the ESA regional
    office  in Dallas, Texas, and its area offices in Dallas, Little Rock,
    Arkansas and Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Limited work was also performed at the
    ESA area office in College Park, Maryland, and the National Office in
    Washington, D.C.

         We did not complete our survey because of the Task Force established
     by the Assistant Secretary for ESA in December 1973, to assess the
     entorcement techniques and methods used in maintaining compliance with
     FLSA and related acts. The Task Force completed its evaluation and
     submitted a report on its findings on June 18, 1974, to the Assistant
     Secretary for ESA, During our survey we noted several problem areas
     -n ESA's enforcement activities and we are presenting our observations
     to you on these matters so that ESA can consider them along with
     similar findings in the Task Force's report.

         Our report also discusses a request by the ESA Dallas regional
     office for guidance from the National Office on use of official duty
     time by compliance officers for employees' union activities.

     REPORTING RESULTS OF COMPLIANCE
     OFFICERS' ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES

         Our survey indicated problems in tne reporting of compliance
    officers time, and the results of their investigations.
