SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chief Evaluation Office of the U.S. 
Department of Labor is designing and implementing a data lake that will 
safely promote and expand restricted-use DOL data access to facilitate 
timely, accurate, and informative analysis, research, and program 
evaluation. In brief, the project involves: (1) developing a data-
sharing infrastructure named Secure Transfer, Research-Use Data Lake 
(STRUDL); (2) supporting, onboarding, and training of approved STRUDL 
users for their research; and (3) providing privacy and statistical 
expertise to evaluate and ensure that research products from STRUDL are 
protected against disclosure risks and are publicly released in a 
timely manner. CEO has changed the proposed name of this information 
collection from ``Department of Labor's Restricted Use Data Access 
program'' to the ``Secure Transfer, Research-Use Data Lake'' in this 
submission to OMB. For additional substantive information about this 
ICR, see the related notices published in the Federal Register on 
August 24, 2023 (89 FR 57975) and September 25, 2024 (89 FR 78337).
    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 the OMB approves it 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 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
    Agency: DOL-CEO.
    Title of Collection: Secure Transfer, Research-Use Data Lake.
    OMB Control Number: 1290-0NEW.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 15.
