SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Federal Contractor Veterans 

Employment Report VETS–100, as 

administered by the U.S. Department of 

Labor, is used to facilitate Federal 

contractor and subcontractor reporting 

of their employment and new hiring 

activity. Employers with Federal 

contracts awarded before December 1, 

2003, are to follow the reporting 

guidance found in 41 CFR–250. Title 38 

U.S.C. 4212 (d) was amended by the 

Veterans’ Employment Opportunities 

Act on October 31, 1998, and now 

requires the collection of information 

from entities holding contracts of 

$25,000 or more with Federal maximum 

and minimum number of employees 

employed by the contractor at each 

hiring location. Employers with 

contracts of $25,000 or more that were 

awarded by the Federal government 

before December 1, 2003, are required to 

report the employment of targeted 

veterans on the VETS–100 Report. 

Departments or agencies to report 

annually on (a) the number of current 

employees in each job category and at 

each hiring location who are special 

disabled veterans, the number who are 

veterans of the Vietnam era, and the 

number who are other eligible veterans 

who served on active duty during a war 

or a campaign or expedition for which 

a campaign badge has been authorized; 

(b) the total number of employees hiring 

during the report period and of those, 

the number of special disabled, the 

number who are veterans of the Vietnam 

era, and the number who are other 

veterans; and the maximum and 

minimum number of employees 

employed by the contractor at each 

hiring location. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

Currently VETS is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

information collection request for the 

Federal Contractor Veterans’

Employment Report VETS–100. The 

Department of Labor is particularly 

interested in comments which: 

• 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 submissions
