SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, 

as part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the OMB for 

final approval. This program helps to 

ensure 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 


ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
46532 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 192 / Thursday, October 5, 2017 / Notices 

collection requirements can be properly 

assessed. 

Section 2834(a) of the National 

Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 

Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. 111–84, 

enacted October 28, 2009) amended 

Section 2824(c) of the Military 

Construction Authorization Act (Pub. L. 

110–417, Division B) by adding a new 

subsection (6). This provision prohibits 

contractors engaged in construction 

projects related to the realignment of 

U.S. military forces from Okinawa to 

Guam from hiring non-U.S. workers 

unless the Governor of Guam 

(Governor), in consultation with the 

Secretary of Labor (Secretary), certifies 

that: (1) There is an insufficient number 

of U.S. workers that are able, willing, 

and qualified to perform the work; and 

(2) that the employment of non-U.S. 

workers will not have an adverse effect 

on either the wages or the working 

conditions of U.S. construction workers 

in Guam. 

In order to allow the Governor to 

make this certification, the NDAA 

requires contractors to recruit workers 

in the U.S., including in Guam, the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands, American Samoa, the U.S. 

Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, 

according to the terms of a recruitment 

plan developed and approved by the 

Secretary. That recruitment plan has 

been reproduced in full in Section I 

below (‘‘Contractor Recruitment 

Standards’’). 

The Department has developed the 

Contractor Recruitment Standards in 

full consultation with, and with the 

approval of, the Guam Department of 

Labor (GDOL). Although the Department 

has developed the recruitment 

standards, it has assigned oversight of 

the Contractor Recruitment Standards 

and the NDAA-required consultation 

with the Governor to GDOL through a 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 

between the Department and GDOL, 

effective November 22, 2011 (the MOU 

can be found on the RegInfo.gov Web 

site listed at the end of this Federal 

Register Notice). 

Under the NDAA, no Guam base 

realignment construction project work 

may be performed by a person holding 

an H–2B visa under the Immigration 

and Nationality Act until the contractor 

complies with the Department’s 

Contractor Recruitment Standards, and 

the Governor of Guam issues the 

certification noted above. 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

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. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1205– 

0484. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the Internet, without 

redaction. The DOL encourages 

commenters not to include personally 

identifiable information, confidential 

business data, or other sensitive 

statements/information in any 

comments. 

The DOL is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• 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.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 

ADMINISTRATION 

[NARA–2017–068] 

Records Schedules; Availability and 

Request for Comments 

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

proposed records schedules; request for 

comments 

SUMMARY: The National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) 

publishes notice at least once monthly 

of certain Federal agency requests for 

records disposition authority (records 

schedules). Once approved by NARA, 

records schedules provide mandatory 

instructions on what happens to records 

when agencies no longer need them for 

current Government business. The 

records schedules authorize agencies to 

preserve records of continuing value in 

the National Archives of the United 

States and to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking administrative, 

legal, research, or other value. NARA 

publishes notice in the Federal Register 

for records schedules in which agencies 

propose to destroy records they no 

longer need to conduct agency business. 

NARA invites public comments on such 

records schedules. 

DATES: NARA must receive requests for 

copies in writing by November 6, 2017. 

Once NARA finishes appraising the 

records, we will send you a copy of the 

schedule you requested. We usually 

prepare appraisal memoranda that 

contain additional information 

concerning the records covered by a 

proposed schedule. You may also 

request these. If you do, we will also 

provide them once we have completed 

the appraisal. You have 30 days after we 

send to you these requested documents 

in which to submit comments. 

ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of 

any records schedule identified in this 

notice by contacting Records Appraisal 

and Agency Assistance (ACRA) using 

one of the following means: 

Mail: NARA (ACRA); 8601 Adelphi 

Road; College Park, MD 20740–6001. 

Email: request.schedule@nara.gov. 

FAX: 301–837–3698. 

You must cite the control number, 

which appears in parentheses after the 

name of the agency that submitted the 

schedule, and a mailing address. If you 

would like an appraisal report, please 

include that in your request. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Margaret Hawkins, Director, by mail at 

Records Appraisal and Agency 

Assistance (ACRA); National Archives 

and Records Administration; 8601 

Adelphi Road; College Park, MD 20740– 

6001, by phone at 301–837–1799, or by 

email at request.schedule@nara.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA 

publishes notice in the Federal Register 

for records schedules they no longer 

need to conduct agency business. NARA 

invites public comments on such 

records schedules, as required by 44 

U.S.C. 3303a(a). 

Each year, Federal agencies create 

billions of records on paper, film, 

magnetic tape, and other media. To 

control this accumulation, agency 

records managers prepare schedules 

proposing records retention periods and 

submit these schedules for NARA’s 

approval. These schedules provide for 

timely transfer into the National 

Archives of historically valuable records 

and authorize the agency to dispose of 

all other records after the agency no 

longer needs them to conduct its 

business. Some schedules are 

comprehensive and cover all the records 

of an agency or one of its major 

subdivisions. Most schedules, however, 

cover records of only one office or 

program or a few series of records. Many
