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 

general 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. Currently, 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) to 

renew the information collection that 

implements standard procedures for 

supply and service contractors seeking 

approval to develop affirmative action 

programs based on functional or 

business units. A copy of the proposed 

information collection request can be 

obtained by contacting the office listed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: OFCCP administers 

and enforces the three equal 

employment opportunity laws listed 

below. 

• Executive Order 11246, as amended 

(E.O. 11246) 

• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act 

of 1973, as amended (Section 503) 

• 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 take affirmative 

action to 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 asking about, discussing, 

or sharing information about their pay 

or, in certain circumstances, the pay of 

their co-workers. 

E.O. 11246 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 financial institutions that

1908. See Federal Acquisition Regulation; Inflation 

Adjustment of Acquisition-Related Thresholds, 75 

FR 53129 (Aug. 30, 2010). 

2Effective October 1, 2015, the coverage 

threshold under VEVRAA increased from $100,000 

to $150,000, in accordance with the inflationary 

adjustment requirements in 41 U.S.C. 1908. See

are issuing and paying agents for U.S. 

savings bonds. Section 503 prohibits 

employment discrimination against 

applicants and employees because of 

physical or mental disability and 

requires contractors and subcontractors 

to take affirmative action to employ and 

advance in employment qualified 

individuals with disabilities. Section 

503 applies to federal contractors and 

subcontractors with contracts in excess 

of $15,000.1 VEVRAA requires 

contractors to take affirmative action to 

employ, and advance in employment, 

qualified protected veterans. VEVRAA 

applies to federal contractors and 

subcontractors with contracts of 

$150,000 or more.2

This proposed information collection 

request outlines the legal authority, 

procedures, burden, and cost associated 

with contractors requesting a new FAAP 

agreement as well as modifying, 

certifying, and terminating an existing 

agreement. 

II. Review Focus: OFCCP is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the compliance assistance functions 

of the agency that support the agency’s 

compliance mission, 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, 

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. 

In particular, OFCCP is seeking 

comments on whether FAAP 

documents, such as agreement requests, 

modification notices, certifications, 

termination notices, or other 

information requested during the FAAP 

approval and certification process, 

should be submitted through OFCCP’s 

Contractor Portal.3

III. Current Actions: OFCCP seeks 

approval of this new information 

collection in order to carry out and 

enhance its responsibilities to enforce 

the nondiscrimination and affirmative 

action provisions of the three legal 

authorities it administers.

NATIONAL CREDIT UNION 

ADMINISTRATION 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Succession 

Planning 

AGENCY: National Credit Union 

Administration (NCUA). 

ACTION: Notice and request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The National Credit Union 

Administration (NCUA), as part of a 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to comment on the following 

new collection, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before April 11, 2022 to 

be assured consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the information collection to Dawn 

Wolfgang, National Credit Union 

Administration, 1775 Duke Street, Suite 

6032, Alexandria, Virginia 22314; email 

at PRAComments@NCUA.gov. Given the 

limited in-house staff because of the 

COVID–19 pandemic, email comments 

are preferred.

Address requests for additional 

information to Dawn Wolfgang at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Number: 3133–NEW. 

Title: Succession Planning, 12 CFR 

701.4(e). 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Abstract: The NCUA Board (Board) 

proposes that Federal Credit Union 

(FCU) boards of directors establish and 

adhere to processes for succession 

planning. The succession plans will 

help to ensure that the credit union has 

plans to fill key positions, such as 

officers of the board, management 

officials, executive committee members, 

supervisory committee members, and 

(where provided for in the bylaws) the 

members of the credit committee to 

provide continuity of operations. In 

addition, the proposed rule would 

require directors to be knowledgeable 

about the FCU’s succession plan. 

Although the proposed rule would 

apply only to FCUs, the Board’s purpose 

is to encourage and strengthen 

succession planning for all credit 

unions. The proposed rule would 

provide FCUs with broad discretion in 

implementing the proposed regulatory 

requirements to minimize any burden. 

Succession planning is recognized as 

vital to the success of any institution, 

including credit unions. One of the 

variables over which a credit union 

board has control is the hiring of the 

organization’s senior management. A 

board’s failure to plan for the transition 

of its management could potentially 

come with high costs, including the 

potential for the unplanned merger of 

the credit union upon the departure of 

key personnel. 

Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 3,125. 

Estimated No. of Responses per 

Respondent: 1.33. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

4,166. 

Estimated Burden Hours per 

Response: 0.31. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,303.

rule at 87 FR 6078, on February 3, 2022
