DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Office of the Secretary 

Bureau of International Labor Affairs 

Proposed Collection of Information; 

Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, is 

conducting a pre-clearance consultation 

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) [44 U.S.C. 

3505(c)(2)(A)]. The program helps to 

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 the collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

The Department notes that a federal 

agency cannot conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it is 

approved by Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) under the PRA, and 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number, and the public is not required 

to respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. Also, notwithstanding 

any other provisions of law, no person 

shall be subject to penalty for failing to 

comply with a collection of information 

if the collection of information does not 

display a currently valid OMB control 

number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 

1320.6. Currently, the International 

Labor Affairs Bureau is soliciting 

comments regarding the proposed 

collection of nominations for candidates 

eligible for an annual award to 

recognize extraordinary efforts to reduce 

the worst forms of child labor. A copy 

of the proposed information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed below in the address 

section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

address section below on or before 

August 1, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of this proposed 

information collection request may be 

obtained by contacting Eileen 

Muirragui, telephone (202) 693–4842, 

fax (202) 693–4830, E-mail 

muirragui.eileen@dol.gov. Comments 

are to be submitted to Department of 

Labor/Bureau of International Labor 

Affairs, Attn: Eileen Muirragui, 200 

Constitution Avenue, NW., (Room S– 

5317) Washington, DC 20210). Please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The U.S. Department 

of Labor’s (DOL) Iqbal Masih Award for 

the Elimination of Child Labor, 

presented by the Secretary of Labor, is 

intended to recognize exceptional 

efforts to reduce the worst forms of 

child labor and is in response to a 

Senate Committee mandate (Significant 

Report 110–107 DM/ILAB). The 

mandate directs the Secretary of Labor 

to establish an annual non-monetary 

award recognizing extraordinary efforts 

by an individual, company, organization 

or national government to reduce the 

worst forms of child labor. DOL is 

proposing a new data collection exercise 

to allow the public to nominate and 

provide critical information on 

proposed candidates for this award who 

have demonstrated extraordinary efforts 

to combat the worst forms of child labor. 

II. Current Action: Pursuant to the 

PRA implementing regulations at 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1), this notice requests 

comments on the proposed information 

collection request that will be part for 

the nomination process for the Iqbal 

Masih Award. The actual award process 

will be officially announced at a later 

date after the OMB has reviewed and 

approved the information collection 

requirements for the contents of 

nominations for the Award. Interested 

parties are encouraged to provide 

comments to the individual listed in the 

ADDRESSES section above. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments: The 

Department is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, 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, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.

Notification of a Public Meeting on the 

Presidential Memorandum on 

Government Contracting 

AGENCY: Office of Management and 

Budget, Executive Office of the 

President. 

ACTION: Notice of a public meeting and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Presidential 

Memorandum on Government 

Contracting, issued on March 4, 2009, 

establishes a framework for improving 

critical components of the federal 

acquisition system and management of 

the Federal Government’s ‘‘multisector’’ workforce of federal employees 

and private sector contractors. The 

Memorandum directs the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), in 

consultation with federal agency 

leadership, to improve and strengthen 

federal contracting practices and to seek 

input from the public on the most 

effective ways to achieve this goal. 

Section 321 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal 

Year 2009 further directs OMB to clarify 

the definition of an inherently 

governmental function and to develop 

criteria to be used by agency heads to 

identify other functions that should 

only be performed by Federal 

employees. The Presidential 

Memorandum is available at http:// 

www.whitehouse.gov/briefing_room/ 

PresidentialActions/pg2/. Section 321 

may be found at http://
