**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Information ICR. The VPP is a partnership between labor, management, and government designed to recognize and promote excellence in safety and health management. In order to participate in the VPP, an applicant submits an application and an annual self-evaluation containing a detailed description of its safety and health management programs to the OSHA, which uses the information to conduct a preliminary analysis of the worksite’s programs and to make a preliminary determination regarding the worksite’s qualifications for the VPP. This ICR has been classified as a revision, because existing VPP forms have been modified and the collection will include additional forms that enable the OSHA to improve the tracking and monitoring of VPP participants.

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 that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1218–0239. The current approval is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2014; however, the DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2014 (79 FR 36834).

**Agency Information Collection Activities; Announcement of OMB**  **Approval**

**AGENCY :**  Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Labor.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  This notice announces the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval of the supply and service recordkeeping requirements for the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). This also includes approval of a revised Scheduling Letter, Itemized Listing, and Compliance Check Letter covering theExecutive Order (EO) 11246 nonconstruction, supply and service, aspects of the agency’s program that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). This notice announces OMB approval of control number 1250–

0003.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Debra A. Carr, Director, Division of Policy and Program Development, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave. NW., Room C–3325, Washington, DC 20210 (202) 693–0104. This is not a toll-free number.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  OFCCP first announced its intent to seek renewal of its OMB approved recordkeeping requirements, including the Scheduling Letter, Itemized Listing, and Compliance Check Letter, in a notice published in the Federal Register on May 12, 2011 (76 FR 27670). OFCCP published a second notice on September 28, 2011 (76 FR 60083). In the information collection request (ICR), OFCCP proposed revisions to the Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing that had been approved by OMB on September 30, 2008, for a three-year period (hereinafter ‘‘2008 Letter’’ or ‘‘2008 Itemized Listing’’). 1 OMB renewed its approval of the ICR under OMB control number 1250–0003. The approval expires 03/31/2016. The Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing OMB approved reflect OFCCP’s review and consideration of the public comments submitted in response to

2011 Federal Register notices.

The nonsubstantive changes proposed in 2011, and incorporated in the OMB approved renewal, update or correct legal citations, change language used in the text to better reflect the regulatory structure of compliance evaluations, and revise the writing style to improve the readability and clarity of the documents. The limited number of substantive changes that OFCCP incorporated in the OMB approved renewal reduce the cost and burden imposed on contractors; maintain contractor flexibility when submitting employment activity data; support effective and efficient agency enforcement in the area of pay discrimination; and incorporate changes required by OFCCP’s recent regulatory activity. An overview of the substantive changes to the Scheduling Letter, Itemized Listing, and Compliance Check Letter is below.
I. Scheduling Letter

In 2013, new regulations implementing the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA), as amended, eliminated 41 CFR part 60–250, Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination Obligations of Contractors and Subcontractors Regarding Special Disabled Veterans, Veterans of the Vietnam Era, Recently Separated Veterans, and Other Protected Veterans. The ICR incorporates this change.
II. Itemized Listing

The Itemized Listing, used in conjunction with the Scheduling Letter, identifies for contractors the documents and information that they must provide for the desk audit phase of an OFCCP compliance evaluation. During the public comment period on the revisions proposed to the Itemized Listing in 2011, OFCCP received several valuable comments from a variety of stakeholders. This OMB approved renewal reflects these comments whereby OFCCP substantially reverts to the 2008 Itemized Listing, including continuing to allow contractors to submit employment activity data by either job group or job title. Maintaining the option of reporting employment activity by either job group or job title eliminates the burden that some commenters associated with collecting, analyzing and reporting data in two different ways as OFCCP proposed in 2011. Contractors will continue to provide this data by sex; however, they will submit race and ethnicity information using five specified categories instead of two broad categories (i.e., minority and nonminority).

To reduce the potential cost and burden that some commenters associated with the Itemized Listing even further, OFCCP made changes to aspects of its compensation data requirements. OFCCP changed the 2008 Itemized Listing so that it no longer requires that contractors submit annualized aggregate compensation data. Instead, contractors will submit individualized employee compensation data as of the date of the workforce analysis in their Affirmative Action Programs, also noting the job title, job group and EEO–1 category. By adopting this approach, OFCCP opted to modify its 2011 proposal. This change is
