This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information if the 

collection of information does not 

display a valid OMB control number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The 

DOL received no comments were

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

reference OMB ICR Reference Number 

201104–1225–001. The OMB is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

Minimize the burden of the collection 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Section 

105(b)(1) of the Trafficking Victims 

Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005 

(‘‘TVPRA of 2005’’), Public Law 109–164 

(2006), directed the Secretary of Labor, 

acting through ILAB, to ‘‘develop and 

make available to the public a list of 

goods from countries that the Bureau of 

International Labor Affairs has reason to 

believe are produced by forced labor or 

child labor in violation of international 

standards.’’ 

Pursuant to this mandate, in 

December 2007 DOL published in the 

Federal Register a set of procedural 

guidelines that ILAB follows in 

developing the list of goods (72 FR 

73374). The guidelines set forth the 

criteria by which information is 

evaluated; established procedures for 

public submission of information to be 

considered by ILAB; and identified the 

process ILAB follows in maintaining 

and updating the list after its initial 

publication. 

On September 10, 2009, ILAB 

released its initial list of goods from 

countries (TVPRA list). This list will be 

updated periodically, as additional 

countries and territories are researched 

and new information for countries and 

territories already reviewed is 

evaluated. The first update to the list 

was published December 15, 2010. For 

a copy of the 2010 TVPRA report, 

Frequently Asked Questions, and other 

materials relating to the TVPRA list, see 

ILAB’s TVPRA Web page at: http://

II. Executive Order No. 13126 (E.O. 

13126) declared that it was ‘‘the policy 

of the United States Government * * * 

that the executive agencies shall take 

appropriate actions to enforce the laws 

prohibiting the manufacture or 

importation of goods, wares, articles, 

and merchandise mined, produced, or 

manufactured wholly or in part by 

forced or indentured child labor.’’ 

Pursuant to E.O. 13126, and following 

public notice and comment, the 

Department of Labor published in the 

January 18, 2001, Federal Register, a 

final list of products (the ‘‘List’’), 

identified by country of origin, that the 

Department, in consultation and 

cooperation with the Departments of 

State (DOS) and Treasury [relevant 

responsibilities now within the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS)], had a reasonable basis to believe 

might have been mined, produced or 

manufactured with forced or indentured 

child labor (66 FR 5353). In addition to 

the List, the Department also published 

on January 18, 2001, ‘‘Procedural 

Guidelines for Maintenance of the List 

of Products Requiring Federal 

Contractor Certification as to Forced or 

Indentured Child Labor,’’ which provide 

for maintaining, reviewing, and, as 

appropriate, revising the List (66 FR 

5351). Based on DOL research and 

information submitted by the public, 

DOL issued an initial determination on 

September 11, 2009, announcing 

proposed updates to the E.O. 13126 list 

and requesting public comments. Public 

comments were received and reviewed 

by all relevant agencies, and a final 

determination was issued on July 20, 

2010, that included all products 

proposed in the initial determination 

except for carpets from India (75 FR 

42164). Further DOL research was 

conducted in 2010 and a new initial 

determination was published December 

16, 2010, proposing to remove one good 

from the current list (charcoal from 

Brazil) and add another (textiles from 

Ethiopia). The current E.O. 13126 List, 

Procedural Guidelines, and related 

information can be accessed on the 

Internet at http://www.dol.gov/ILAB/ 

regs/eo13126/main.htm. Pursuant to 

Sections D through G of the Procedural 

Guidelines, the EO 13126 List may be 

updated through consideration of 

submissions by individuals or through 

OCFT’s own initiative. 

III. The Trade and Development Act 

of 2000 (TDA), Public Law 106–200 

(2002), established a new eligibility 

criterion for receipt of trade benefits 

under the Generalized System of 

Preferences (GSP), Caribbean Basin 

Trade and Partnership Act (CBTPA), 

and Africa Growth and Opportunity Act 

(AGOA). The TDA amends the GSP 

reporting requirements of Section 504 

the Trade Act of 1974, 19 U.S.C. 2464, 

to require that the President’s annual 

report on the status of internationally 

recognized worker rights include 

‘‘findings by the Secretary of Labor with 

respect to the beneficiary country’s 

implementation of its international 

commitments to eliminate the worst 

forms of child labor.’’ Title II of the TDA 

and the TDA Conference Report, Joint 

Explanatory Statement of the Committee 

of Conference, 106th Cong.2d.Sess. 

(2000), indicate that the same criterion 

applies for the receipt of benefits under 

CBTPA and AGOA, respectively. 

In addition, the Andean Trade 

Preference Act (ATPA), as amended and 

expanded by the Andean Trade 

Promotion and Drug Eradication Act 

(ATPDEA), Public Law 107–210, Title 

XXXI (2002), includes as a criterion for 

receiving benefits ‘‘[w]hether the 

country has implemented its 

commitments to eliminate the worst 

forms of child labor as defined in 

section 507(6) of the Trade Act of 1974.’’ 

DOL fulfills these reporting mandates 

through annual publication of the U.S. 

Department of Labor’s Findings on the 

Worst Forms of Child Labor with 

respect to countries eligible for the 

aforementioned programs. The 2010 

report and additional background 

information are available on the Internet 

at http://www.dol.gov/ILAB/programs/ 

ocft/tda.htm. 

Information Requested and Invitation 

to Comment: Interested parties are 

requested to consider DOL’s 2009 

Findings on the Worst Forms of Child 

Labor (TDA report); the 2010 List of 

Goods Produced by Child Labor or 

Forced Labor (TVPRA list); and the 

current Executive Order 13126 List of 

Products Requiring Federal Contractor 

Certification as to Forced or Indentured 

Child Labor (E.O. 13126 list), all of 

which may be found on the Internet at 

http://www.dol.gov/ilab/highlights/if20101215.htm or obtained from OCFT. 

DOL requests comments on or 

information to update the findings and 

suggestions for government action for 

countries reviewed in the TDA report; 

information on the nature and extent of 

child labor, forced labor, and forced or 

indentured child labor in the 

production of goods in foreign 

countries; and information on 

government, industry, or third-party 

actions and initiatives to address these 

issues. 

Materials submitted should be 

confined to the specific topics of these 

reports. DOL will generally consider 

sources with dates up to five years old 

(i.e., data not older than January 1, 

2005). DOL appreciates the extent to 

which submissions clearly indicate the 

time period to which they apply. In the 

interest of transparency, classified 

information will not be accepted. Where 

applicable, information submitted 

should indicate its source or sources, 

and copies of the source material should 

be provided. If primary sources are 

utilized, such as research studies, 

interviews, direct observations, or other 

sources of quantitative or qualitative 

data, details on the research or datagathering methodology should be 

provided. Please see the 2010 TDA 

report, TVPRA List, and E.O. 13126 List 

for a complete explanation of relevant 

terms, definitions, and reporting 

guidelines employed by DOL, or refer to 

ILAB’s previous Request for Information 

published in the Federal Register on 

Feb. 24, 2010 (75 FR 8402). 

This notice is a general solicitation of 

comments from the public.
