AGENCY: United States Information Agency
ACTION: Interim Final Rule with Request for Comment
SUMMARY: The Agency hereby published interim final rules governing the oversight and administration of au pair programs. Au pair programs permit foreign nationals to enter the United States for a period of one year for the purpose of residing with an American host family while participating directly in the home life of the family and providing limited child care services. The foreign national also attends a United States accredited post-secondary educational institution. These rules are promulgated pursuant to Public Law 103-415 which authorizes the continued operation, until September 30, 1995, of au pair programs currently designated by the Agency.
DATES: These rules are effective February 15, 1995. With the exceptions of Sec. 514.31(j) (1) and (4), and Sec. 514.31(k) these rules apply to all au pair placements and operations as of February 15, 1995. The provisions set forth at Sec. 514.31(j) (1) and (4) and Sec. 514.31(k) shall apply only to au pair participants placed after February 15, 1995. Written comments regarding this rule will be accepted until January 13, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Comments regarding this rule must be presented in duplicate and addressed as follows: United States Information Agency, Office of the General Counsel, Rulemaking 110, 301, 4th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20547.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stanley S. Colvin, Assistant General Counsel, United States Information Agency, 301 4th Street SW., Washington, DC 20547; Telephone, (202) 619-6829.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In January and April of 1986, USIA designated, on a temporary basis, two organizations to carry out au pair programs. These programs were to operate as pilot programs and were governed by rather non-specific program guidelines developed contemporaneously with the temporary designation. At the expiration of this two-year ``trial'' period, an Agency determination was made not to permanently designate these pilot programs. The decision not to grant permanent designation was based upon a determination that the programs were outside the Agency's statutory authority to oversee educational and cultural exchange activities.
As a result of the Agency's decision not to permanently designate, representatives of these programs approached the Congress and secured special legislation that obligated USIA to continue to implement their au pair programs. This legislative directive was set forth in Public Law 100-461 which also directed the General Accounting Office (GAO) to examine the use of the J-visa in all exchange programs and to report their findings. In light of this legislation and Congressional views, the Agency designated six additional organizations, or ``sponsors,'' to also conduct au pair programs.
The GAO report, issued in February 1990 and entitled, ``Inappropriate Uses of the J-Visa,'' determined that au pair programs, as configured, were not consistent with the Agency's underlying organic authorities as set forth in the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Fulbright-Hays Act). In response to this report, the Agency again advised the now eight au pair sponsors, that their au pair programs did not fall within the statutory parameters of the Fulbright-Hays Act. In light of the GAO Report findings, the Agency also sought legislation to transfer the au pair programs to another U.S. Government agency. Agency efforts to transfer au pair programs to another agency were not entirely successful. Pursuant to Public Law 101-454, the Congress directed that USIA continue to implement the eight designated au pair programs, under the same terms and conditions, until the programs, could be transferred to a more appropriate federal agency. As a result of this legislation, the Agency continued to find itself responsible for the implementation of the au pair programs but without statutory or regulatory authority to oversee them adequately.
No further Congressional action regarding au pair programs was undertaken until October 7, 1994, when Congress passed the Technical Amendments to the State Basic Authorities Act (Public Law 103-415). This legislation authorized the Agency, for the first time, to promulgate regulations specifically governing the au pair programs. The legislation also stipulated that USIA would be required to administer the programs only until September 30, 1995. While speaking on the House floor before passage of this bill, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Lee Hamilton, explained:
----- the bill waives Section 555 of Public Law 101-461 and other provisions of law to allow the Director of the U.S. Information Agency to administer au pair programs through fiscal year 1995. The bill requires these programs to be administered in a manner consistent with the Mutual Educational and Exchange Act and requires USIA to promulgate regulations for the conduct of au pair programs.
There are serious questions to be raised about how, whether, and by which Federal agency this program should be conducted. The one-year authority contained in this legislation is designed to ensure that USIA issue appropriate regulations for the screening of organizations and individuals participating in the program. The Committee intends to examine carefully this program, and the permanent authority under which it should operate, during consideration of the regular fiscal year 1996 authorization for USIA.
Congressional Record, September 19, 1994, H 9172.
With this clear directive, the Agency has undertaken the task of crafting regulations to govern the au pair programs that are both consistent with the provisions of the Fulbright-Hays Act and which also provide safeguards for au pair participants and the American host families with whom they are placed. Given the wide popularity of these programs--and the criticisms of the programs--the Agency concluded that the views of the au pair organizations, interested members of the public and the views of those congressional offices possessing jurisdiction of educational and cultural exchange programs must be considered. As a result, these regulations have not been drafted in a vacuum but rather incorporate the views of as many interested persons as practicable. Accordingly, given this wide participation and the statutory deadline imposed by the Congress, the Agency is of the opinion that interim final regulations are appropriate.
Selection and Screening
The first area to which the Agency turned its attention was that of screening and placement. Given eight years of program operation, the Agency was familiar with the manner in which au pair participants are recruited and screened and is of the opinion that enhancements to these procedures are needed. Regulations set forth at Sec. 514.31 (d) require that au pair participants be between the ages of 18 and 26, be secondary school graduates, and be proficient with the English language. Au pair participants are required to be interviewed in person for the purpose of ascertaining their English language proficiency. The Agency is also requiring that au pair participants successfully pass a reference and background investigation, including a criminal records check. The Agency anticipates that sponsors will, during this process, screen out all persons having previously participated in an au pair program in the United States.
The Agency recognizes that, in the past, overseas agents working on behalf of the au pair organizations have been responsible for the recruitment and screening of au pair participants. This relationship has proven problematic as evidenced by complaints that au pair participants have been inadequately screened. Henceforth, the Agency will hold au pair organizations strictly accountable for any failure by their designated agent to meet the selection and screening requirements set forth in this regulation.
Au pair sponsors will also be responsible for the screening of potential host families pursuant to regulations set forth at Sec. 514.31(h). Specifically, all family members resident in the home must be personally interviewed and all family members must also be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. Au pair organizations must also ensure that all family members resident in the home have successfully passed a background investigation and that the family has adequate financial resources to successfully meet hosting obligations.
Placement, Training and Orientation
Particular attention to the placement of an au pair participant with an American host family has resulted in new and specific requirements which are set forth in Sec. 514.31(e). Because the au pair will provide child care services for the host family, the Agency has concluded that an au pair's responsibility for infant children merits special attention and should be limited. Accordingly, sponsors are prohibited from placing an au pair with a host family having a child less than three months old unless a parent or other responsible adult is present in the home and is responsible for the child. Given the special care needs of infant children, sponsors will also be required not to place au pairs with families having children under two years of age unless the au pair is at least twenty-one years old and has at least six months of documented infant child care experience. The Agency does not intend to set a minimum standard regarding documented infant child care experience. However, evidence of employment by nurseries, day care centers, or other similar infant child care providers is deemed appropriate.
In order to ensure the best possible adjustment period for the au pair and the host family, the Agency has determined that a placement transition period is appropriate. To this end, sponsors will not be allowed to place an au pair with a host family unless one or both parents have agreed to remain in the home for the first week following the au pair's placement with the family. The Agency is advised that many families, if not most, have followed this practice in the past and the Agency believes it to not be overly disruptive given the benefits to be gained. Specifically, this week-long transition will allow the au pair to become familiar with the family home, practices and its members without the distractions inherent in total responsibility for the care of the children. Also, to further minimize possible friction between the host family and the au pair participant, sponsors will be required to secure, prior to placement, a concise, signed, written agreement between the host family and the au pair detailing the hours and days of child care services that the au pair will be required to perform.
As a further programmatic enhancement, the Agency is introducing a requirement, set forth at Sec. 514.31(g), governing child safety and child development instruction. Specifically, sponsors will be required to provide au pair participants with sixteen hours of child safety instruction. At the suggestion of sponsors, the Agency will allow this safety instruction to be provided in the au pair's home country. It is anticipated that a standardized safety course will be developed and adopted by all eight sponsors with the assistance of a nationally recognized organization expert in health and safety instruction. Sponsors will also provide au pair participants with not less than twenty-four hours of child development instruction. Both the child safety and child development instruction requirements will be completed prior to the au pair's placement with the host family.
The Agency has long required that sponsors conducting educational and cultural exchange programs provide orientation to program participants. Requirements specifically governing au pair activities are set forth at Sec. 514.31 (f) and (i). These requirements are in addition to orientation requirements that apply to all educational and cultural exchange programs as set forth in Sec. 514.10. Au pair sponsors will be required to provide au pair participants with a detailed profile of the family and community in which he or she will be placed as well as the educational institutions available in the community. This information will allow the au pair participant to prepare in advance for the transition into the host family and community and lessen the uncertainty that necessarily arises from travel to a foreign country and living with a previously unknown family.
To further assist in this transition, sponsors shall advise host families of strategies regarding cross-cultural interaction and shall also provide quarterly workshops on such issues. Both the au pair and the host family must be provided with copies of Agency-promulgated regulations governing au pair programs. Finally, au pair sponsors will ensure that local counselors acting on their behalf contact the host family and au pair within forty-eight hours of the au pair's arrival at the host family's home and shall meet with the host family and au pair in person within two weeks of arrival.
Stipend and Hours
The au pair concept evolved in Europe with young women participating in the family life of a host family while serving as a ``mother's helper.'' This European model is based upon the au pair providing thirty hours of service to the host family and the payment of a token weekly stipend or ``pocket money.'' However, in adapting the au pair concept to the United States, au pair sponsors developed a program based upon the au pair providing up to forty-five hours of child care services for the host family and receiving one hundred dollars a week for such services. As a result, substantial controversy surrounds the number of hours that au pair participants provide child care services and the compensation they receive.
The Agency has found the question of hours and compensation to be extremely vexing. Sponsors and host families uniformly plead that the au pair concept is not viable in the United States unless the au pair participant may provide up to the forty-five hours of child care services originally allowed in the pilot programs. Although not entirely convinced that au pair programs would not be viable with reduced hours, the Agency elects to continue, during this Congressionally-mandated period, these programs based upon forty-five hours.
Based upon evidence that this forty-five-hour maximum has been ignored by some host families, the Agency proposes to ensure compliance with this requirement by making sponsors strictly accountable for its enforcement. Accordingly, pursuant to Sec. 514.31(o), the Agency may commence immediate program revocation proceedings against a sponsor who fails to enforce and monitor a host family's compliance with this requirement.
The Agency has set forth at Sec. 514.31(j) specific provisions regarding hours of work. In addition to the forty-five hours a week maximum, au pairs may not provide more than nine hours of child care services on any given day. Au pairs must receive a minimum of one-and-a-half days off per week in addition to one complete weekend off each month. With this approach, au pairs providing forty-five hours of child care services per week will have every weekend off while those providing less than forty-five hours will be covered by the one-and-a-half days per week provision. In addition, au pair participants shall receive two weeks of paid vacation.
The Agency has examined the question of au pair compensation and has sought guidance from regulations governing payment of minimum wage promulgated by the Department of Labor. An au pair living with a host family presents an analogous relationship to that contemplated at 29 CFR 552.100. The Agency defers, to more appropriate authorities, the determination of whether an employer/employee relationship is established between the au pair and the host family. However, au pair participants provide child care services to their host families and may properly expect compensation for such services.
At 29 CFR 552.100 the Department of Labor authorizes a credit in the amount of $36 against the federal hourly minimum wage for food and board provided to employees living on an employer's premises. The Agency adopts the $36 credit approach authorized by the Department of Labor in order to ensure that all au pair participants receive uniform compensation.
The Agency notes that this Department of Labor regulation was last amended in 1979. Accordingly, the Agency believes that the cost of room and board is probably in excess of the allowed $36 credit. However, the Agency is without expertise and authority in matters regarding the calculation of minimum wage and credits for room and board permitted in such instances. Comments regarding the actual cost to host families will be viewed by the Agency as highly instructive and the Agency anticipates that such comments will be used by the Department of Labor as evidence that the credit against minimum wage for room and board received by au pairs should be in excess of $36. Accordingly, the Agency is obligated to require that au pairs receive a weekly stipend of $155 until such time that the Department of Labor indicates that a higher amount may be used as a credit in the formulation of minimum wage.
Educational Component
The Agency is requiring that au pair participants pursue not less than six hours of academic credit during their year of program participation. This requirement is imposed to ensure that au pair programs possess, to some degree, the educational and cultural hallmarks of Exchange Visitor Program activities authorized by the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961. The Agency is of the opinion that this requirement will, in fact, provide educational opportunities to participants that may not be available to them in their home country.
This requirement, as set forth at Sec. 514.31(k) shall be met by enrollment in an accredited post-secondary institution. The Agency proposes to interpret ``post-secondary institution'' broadly and anticipates that participants will enroll at community colleges as well as proprietary schools located in the community in which the au pair participant is placed. In similar fashion, ``six semester hours'' also includes the academic equivalent at institutions operating on the trimester or quarterly academic calendar.
Host families will be expected to facilitate the au pair's enrollment and attendance at the chosen academic institution. The host family is also required to pay the cost of this educational component or requirement on behalf of the au pair in an amount not to exceed $500. In those instances where the educational stipend is insufficient to cover the full cost of attendance at the educational institution, the au pair will be responsible for the additional cost.
Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
With an eye towards program efficiency and effectiveness, and cognizant of limited Agency resources, the Agency is imposing four specific monitoring requirements designed to ensure satisfactory compliance with these regulatory provisions. Pursuant to Sec. 514.31(m), au pair sponsors are responsible for ensuring monthly personal contact with each au pair and host family participating in their program. In part, this contact will ensure that the au pair is not working in excess of forty-five hours per week and is enrolled and making satisfactory progress in his or her academic pursuits. This monthly contact will also allow for the resolution of conflicts between the host family and the au pair before the conflicts become insurmountable and necessitate the au pair's possible removal from the home or the host family's possible removal from the program. As an additional safeguard, regional representatives acting on behalf of the au pair sponsors will be required to make quarterly contact with each host family and au pair.
Both the local and regional representatives will be required to report to the au pair sponsor any unusual or serious situations or incidents involving either the au pair or host family. In similar fashion, au pair sponsors will be required to promptly report to the Agency, any incidents involving or alleging a crime of moral turpitude or violence. Moral turpitude is interpreted by the Agency as specifically including, but not limited to, allegations of theft, sexual misconduct, and child abuse. Sponsors will also be required to report to the Agency incidents which could bring the Exchange Visitor Program or the Agency into notoriety or disrepute.
In order to assist the Agency in its oversight of these programs, the Agency is imposing six specific reporting requirements set forth at Sec. 514.31(n). Included, is a requirement that sponsors submit, on an annual basis, a copy of all advertising and promotional materials used in the recruitment of host families or au pair participants. The Agency imposes this requirement in order to monitor effectively representations made regarding program participation.
Au pair sponsors will be expected to conduct an annual survey of all host families and au pair participants and provide a summation of program satisfaction. Also required will be a summation of all complaints lodged with the sponsor regarding participation in the program and the resolution made by the sponsor for such complaints. The Agency anticipates that this information will provide guidance regarding the possible need for additional regulation or program modification.
Comment
The Agency invites comments regarding this interim final rule notwithstanding the fact that it is under no legal requirement to do so. The oversight and administration of the Exchange Visitor Program are deemed to be foreign affairs functions of the United States Government. The Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)(1989) specifically exempts foreign affairs functions from the rulemaking requirements of the Act.
The Agency will accept comments for 30 days following publication of this interim final rule. A final rule will be adopted upon Agency review of all comments received.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Agency certifies that this rule does not have a significant adverse economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule is not considered to be a major rule within the meaning of Section 1(b) of E.O. 12291, nor does it have federal implications warranting the preparation of a Federalism Assessment in accordance with E.O. 12612.
The information collection requirements contained in this rule have been presented to the Office of Management and Budget for clearance pursuant to the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
