Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

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).

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 the 

Executive 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.

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
