ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information in

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

helps to ensure that requested data can 

be provided in the desired format, 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

the impact of collection requirements 

can be properly assessed. Currently, 

Departmental Management is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

Information Collection Request (ICR) for 

the Assessment of Compliance 

Assistance Activities Generic Clearance. 

A copy of the ICR can be obtained by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor (DOL) 

proposes to assess and measure selfreported changes in behavior through 

surveys of workers, employers and other 

stakeholders. These surveys will 

provide feedback on compliance 

assistance documents and materials, 

onsite consultation visits, telephone and 

technical assistance, Web sites, 

partnerships and alliances, and 

compliance assistance seminars and 

workshops delivered by DOL across the 

country to the regulated community. 

This feedback will help DOL agencies 

improve the future quality and delivery 

of compliance assistance tools and 

services. This generic clearance allows 

agencies to gather information from both 

Federal and non-Federal users.

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

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., permitted electronic submissions of 

response. 

III. Current Actions 

DOL agencies have conducted few 

surveys designed to assess changes in 

worker, employer and stakeholder 

behavior as a result of the compliance 

assistance received. DOL proposes to 

seek approval of this collection of 

information for a three year period. 

Type of Review: New collection of 

information.
