DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Office of Federal Contract Compliance 

Programs 

Proposed Renewal of the Approval of 

Information Collection Requirements; 

Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor 

(DOL), as part of its continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, conducts a pre-clearance 

consultation program to provide the 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA). The program helps 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 on respondents can be 

properly assessed. The Office of Federal 

Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) 

is soliciting comments concerning its 

proposal to obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for renewal of the information 

collection for its Contractor Portal 

interface (formerly the ‘‘Affirmative 

Action Program Verification Interface’’). 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the office listed below in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

OFCCP administers and enforces the 

three equal employment opportunity 

authorities listed below: 

• Executive Order 11246, as amended 

(E.O. 11246); 

• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation 

Act of 1973, as amended (Section 503); 

and 

• Vietnam Era Veterans’ 

Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as 

amended (VEVRAA). 

These authorities prohibit 

employment discrimination by covered 

Federal contractors and subcontractors 

and require that they provide equal 

employment opportunities regardless of 

race, color, religion, sex, sexual 

orientation, gender identity, national 

origin, disability, or status as a protected 

veteran. Additionally, Federal 

contractors and subcontractors are 

prohibited from discriminating against 

applicants and employees for inquiring 

about, discussing, or disclosing 

information about their pay or the pay 

of their co-workers, subject to certain 

limitations. 

E.O. 11246’s basic coverage applies to 

Federal contractors and subcontractors 

and to Federally assisted construction 

contractors holding a government 

contract in excess of $10,000, or 

government contracts that have, or can 

reasonably be expected to have, an 

aggregate total value exceeding $10,000 

in a 12-month period. E.O. 11246 also 

applies to government bills of lading, 

depositories of Federal funds in any 

amount, and to financial institutions 

that are issuing and paying agents for 

U.S. Savings Bonds. E.O. 11246’s 

Affirmative Action Program (AAP) 

requirements apply to Federal 

contractors and subcontractors with 50 

or more employees and a contract of 

$50,000 or more. 

Section 503 prohibits Federal 

contractors and subcontractors from 

discriminating in employment against 

individuals with disabilities. It also 

requires Federal contractors and 

subcontractors to take affirmative action 

to ensure equal employment 

opportunity for individuals with 

disabilities. Its requirements apply 

Federal contractors and subcontractors 

with a Government contract in excess of 

$15,000 and its AAP coverage applies to 

Federal contractors and subcontractors 

with 50 or more employees and a 

contract of $50,000 or more. 

VEVRAA prohibits employment 

discrimination against protected 

veterans. It also requires Federal 

contractors and subcontractors to take 

affirmative action to ensure equal 

employment opportunity for protected 

veterans. Its requirements apply to 

Federal contractors and subcontractors 

with a Government contract of $150,000 

or more, and its AAP coverage applies 

to Federal contractors and 

subcontractors with 50 or more 

employees and a contract of $150,000 or 

more. This information collection 

request (ICR) seeks reauthorization for 

the annual AAP online certification 

process for Federal contractors and for 

a secure method for Federal contractors 

to submit AAPs electronically to OFCCP 

when they are scheduled for a 

compliance evaluation. 

II. Review Focus 

OFCCP is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• Evaluate the proposed frequency 

and level of information collection; 

• 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,

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 12, 2023 / Notices 86159 

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. 

III. Current Actions 

OFCCP seeks renewal for this 

information collection to carry out its 

responsibilities to enforce the 

provisions of the three legal authorities 

it administers.
