Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 183 / Wednesday, September 21, 2016 / Notices
Dominick A. Ricci, M.D., 58 FR 51104
(1993). Here, the supplied Certification
by Ms. Hanczaryk establishes, and the
Respondent concedes,7 that the
Respondent is currently without
authorization to handle controlled
substances in New York, the jurisdiction
where the Respondent holds the DEA
COR that is the subject of this litigation.
Summary disposition of an
administrative case is warranted where,
as here, ‘‘there is no factual dispute of
substance.’’ Veg-Mix, Inc. v. U.S. Dep’t
of Agric., 832 F.2d 601, 607 (D.C. Cir.
1987) (‘‘[A]n agency may ordinarily
dispense with a hearing when no
genuine dispute exists.’’). At this
juncture, no genuine dispute exists over
the fact that the Respondent lacks state
authority to handle controlled
substances in New York. Because the
Respondent lacks such state authority,
Agency precedent dictates that he is not
entitled to maintain his DEA
registration. Simply put, there is no
contested factual matter adducible at a
hearing that would, in the Agency’s
view, provide authority to allow the
Respondent to continue to hold his
COR.8
Accordingly, I hereby Grant the
Government’s Motion for Summary
Disposition; and further Recommend
that the Respondent’s DEA registration
be Revoked forthwith, and any pending
applications for renewal be Denied.
Dated: May 18, 2016.
John J. Mulrooney, II
Chief Administrative Law Judge.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Labor Standards for Federal Service
Contracts information collection. The
WHD administers the McNamaraO’Hara Service Contract Act (SCA), 41
U.S.C. 6701 et seq. The SCA applies to
every contract entered into by the
United States or the District of
Columbia, the principal purpose of
which is to furnish services to the
United States through the use of service
employees. The SCA requires
contractors and subcontractors
performing services on covered Federal
or District of Columbia contracts in
excess of $2,500 to pay service
employees in various classes no less
than the monetary wage rates and to
furnish fringe benefits found prevailing
in the locality, or the rates (including
prospective increases) contained in a
predecessor contractor’s collective
bargaining agreement. Safety and health
standards also apply to such contracts.
The WHD administers and enforces SCA
compensation requirements. This ICR is
to continue PRA authorization the
following information collection
requirements: (1) Vacation Benefit
Seniority List, (2) Conformance Record,
and (3) Submission of Collective
Bargaining Agreement. SCA section 2(a)
authorizes this information collection.
See 41 U.S.C. 6703.
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. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1235–0007.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
