SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: On September 7, 2015, 

President Barack Obama signed 

Executive Order 13706, ‘‘Establishing 

Paid Sick Leave for Federal 

Contractors.’’ 80 FR 54697. The 

Executive Order established paid sick 

leave for Federal Contractors. Executive 

Order 13706 stated that the Federal 

Government’s procurement interests in 

efficiency and cost savings are promoted 

when the Federal Government contracts 

with sources that ensure workers on 

those contracts can earn paid sick leave. 

The Executive Order therefore required 

parties who contract with the Federal 

Government to provide their employees 

with up to 7 days of paid sick time 

annually, including paid time allowing 

for family care. The Executive Order 

directed the Secretary to issue 

regulations by September 30, 2016, to 

the extent permitted by law and 

consistent with the requirements of 40 

U.S.C. 121, to implement the Order’s 

requirements. The Final Rule 

established standards and procedures 

for implementing and enforcing the paid 

sick leave requirements of Executive 

Order 13706. 81 FR 67598. 

Among other requirements, the 

regulations at 29 CFR 13 require 

employers subject to the Order to make 

and maintain records for notifications to 

employees on leave accrual and requests 

to use paid sick leave, dates and 

amounts of paid sick leave used, written 

responses to requests to use paid sick 

leave, records relating to certification 

and documentation where an employer 

requires this from an employee using at 

least 3 consecutive days of leave, 

tracking of or calculations related to an 

employee’s accrual or use of paid sick 

leave, the relevant covered contract, pay 

and benefits provided to an employee 

using leave, and any financial payment 

for unused sick leave made to an 

employee on separation from 

employment. 

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 

under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 

1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The Department 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1235–0029. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than 3 years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection will expire on January 

31, 2023. The Department seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for 3 more years, 

without any change to existing 

requirements. The Department notes 

that existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review.

II. Review Focus: The Department of

collection of information is necessary

functions of the agency, including

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submissions of responses.
