DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Proposed Renewal of 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). This program helps ensure that 

requested data is provided in the 

desired format, that the reporting 

burden (time and financial resources) is 

minimized, that the collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

that the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents is properly 

assessed. Currently, the Office of 

Federal Contract Compliance Programs 

(OFCCP) is soliciting comments on its 

proposal to renew the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval of the construction 

information collection. A copy of the 

proposed information collection request

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: OFCCP administers 

three nondiscrimination and equal 

employment opportunity laws: 

• Executive Order 11246, as amended 

(EO 11246); 

• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation 

Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 793 

(referred to as Section 503); and 

• Vietnam Era Veterans’ 

Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as 

amended, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA). 

Generally, these authorities prohibit 

employment discrimination and require 

affirmative action to ensure that equal 

employment opportunity regardless of 

race, color, religion, sex, sexual 

orientation, gender identity, national 

origin, disability, or status as a protected 

veteran by Federal contractors and 

subcontractors (hereafter collectively 

referred to as contractors). Additionally, 

contractors are prohibited from 

discriminating against applicants and 

employees for asking about, discussing, 

or sharing information about their pay 

or the pay of their co-workers. For 

purposes of OMB clearance, OFCCP 

divides its responsibilities under these 

authorities into two categories: (1) 

Construction and (2) non-construction 

(supply and service). This clearance 

request covers the construction 

information collection. It also merges 

the recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements of two existing 

information collections with this ICR. 

Specifically, the ICR entitled 

‘‘Prohibiting Discrimination Based on 

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity 

by Contractors and Subcontractors’’ that 

covers prohibitions against 

discrimination on the basis of sexual 

orientation and gender identity,1 and 

the ICR entitled ‘‘Government 

Contractors, Prohibitions Against Pay 

Secrecy Policies and Actions’’ that 

covers prohibitions against pay secrecy 

policies and actions.2 To view the 

current construction information 

collection, go to https://

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201406-1250-001. 

II. Review Focus: DOL is particularly 

interested in comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the compliance and enforcement 

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 submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions: DOL seeks the 

approval of the renewal of this 

information in order to carry out its 

responsibility to enforce the 

antidiscrimination and affirmative 

action provisions of the three legal 

authorities it administers. 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.
