SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OFCCP published a final rule entitled

Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity by Contractors and 
Subcontractors'' on December 9, 2014. This final rule amends the

gender identity, or national origin'' as directed by Executive Order 
13672, titled ``Further Amendments to Executive Order 11478, Equal 
Employment Opportunity in the Federal Government and Executive Order 
11246, Equal Employment Opportunity.'' This final rule becomes 
effective on April 8, 2015.
    OFCCP submitted the information collection request on December 8, 
2014 to OMB for approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995. On March 17, 2015 OMB approved the collections of information 
contained in the final rule and assigned this collection OMB Control 
Number 1250-0009 title ``Prohibiting Discrimination Based on Sexual 
Orientation and Gender Identity by Contractors and Subcontractors.'' 
The approval for the collection expires on September 30, 2015. The 
approved collections of information are:
    <bullet> Amending the Equal Opportunity Clause: Sections 60-1.4(a) 
and (b) and 60-4.3(a);
    <bullet> Amending the Tag Line in Job Advertisements and 
Solicitations: Sections 60-1.4(a)(2), and 1.4(b)(2); and

    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal 
Register Notice for the final rule stated that compliance with the 
collection of information requirements was not required until these 
requirements are approved by OMB, and the Department of Labor publishes 
a notice in the Federal Register announcing that OMB approved and 
assigned a control number to the requirements. As provided in 5 CFR 
1320.5(b) and 1320.6(a), an agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless the collection of information displays 
a currently valid OMB control number and the agency informs members of 
the public who must respond to the collection of information that they 
are not required to respond to the collection of information unless the 
agency displays a currently valid OMB control number.

    Dated: March 25, 2015.
