implementing regulations at 20 CFR 

702.349(b) allow parties and their 

representatives to waive certified mail 

service and consent to electronic service 

instead. The information collected will 

be used by OWCP to serve 

compensation orders by email instead of 

by registered or certified mail. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 5, 2021 (86 FR 61323). 

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.

Activities; Submission for OMB

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

AGENCY: Office of Labor-Management

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: President 

Barack Obama signed Executive Order 

13496 (E.O. 13496) on January 30, 2009, 

requiring certain Government 

contractors and subcontractors to post 

notices informing their employees of 

their rights as employees under Federal 

labor laws. The Order also provides the 

text of contractual provisions that 

Federal Government contracting 

departments and agencies must include 

in every Government contract, except 

for collective bargaining agreements and 

contracts for purchases under the 

Simplified Acquisition Threshold. 

OLMS administers the enforcement 

provisions of Executive Order 13496, 

while the compliance evaluation and 

investigatory provisions are handled by 

the Department’s Office of Federal 

Contract Compliance Programs 

(OFCCP), pursuant to the Order’s 

implementing regulatory provisions (29 

CFR part 471). Complaints can be filed 

with both agencies. 

The Department seeks extension of 

the current approval to collect this 

information. An extension is necessary 

because if this information collection is 

not conducted, E.O. 13496 could not be 

enforced through the complaint 

procedure. 

E.O. 13496 advances the 

Administration’s goal of promoting 

economy and efficiency of Federal 

government procurement by ensuring 

that workers employed in the private 

sector as a result of Federal government 

contracts are informed of their rights to 

engage in union activity and collective 

bargaining. Knowledge of such basic 

statutory rights promotes stable labormanagement relations, thus reducing 

costs to the Federal government. 

The contractual provisions require 

contractors and subcontractors to post a 

notice, created by the Secretary of 

Labor, informing employees of their 

rights under the National Labor 

Relations Act. The notice also provides 

a statement of the policy of the United 

States to encourage collective 

bargaining, as well as a list of activities 

that are illegal under the Act. The notice 

concludes with a general description of 

the remedies to which employees may 

be entitled if these rights have been 

violated and contact information for 

further information about those rights 

and remedies, as well as enforcement 

procedures. 

The clause also requires contractors to 

include the same clause in their

nonexempt subcontracts and purchase 

orders, and describes generally the 

sanctions, penalties, and remedies that 

may be imposed if the contractor fails to 

satisfy its obligations under the Order 

and the clause. 

The regulatory provisions 

implementing E.O. 13496 (29 CFR part 

471) include the language of the 

required notices, and they explain 

posting and contractual requirements, 

the complaint process, the investigatory 

process, and sanctions, penalties, and 

remedies that may be imposed if the 

contractor or subcontractor fails to 

comply with its obligations under the 

Order. Specifically, 29 CFR part 

471.11(c) sets forth the procedures that 

the Department must use when 

accepting written complaints alleging 

that a contractor doing business with 

the Federal government has failed to 

post the notice required by the 

Executive Order. 

The Department continues to estimate 

a total of 10 respondents with an equal 

amount of responses. Since the ICR was 

last approved in 2019, the Department 

has received 1 complaint. The 

Department maintains the estimate of 10 

complaints for purposes of this renewal 

request. The Department continues to 

estimate that it will take an employee 

1.28 hours per complaint, for a total of 

12.8, rounded to 13 hours. 

Additionally, employees will incur 

costs of $0.62 per complaint in capital/ 

start-up costs ($0.58 for standard-sized, 

rectangular envelopes postage in 

January 2022 1 + $0.03 for an envelope 

+ $0.01 for paper) for a total cost of 

$6.20. (Although employees will submit 

many if not all complaints via email, the 

Department assumes, conservatively, 

that it will receive all via mail.) The 

total cost for the estimated 10 

complaints is therefore $6.20. There are 

no ongoing operation/maintenance costs 

associated with this information 

collection. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of 

Management and Budget approval of the 

information collection request; they will 

also become a matter of public record. 

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.
