I. Background: The Vietnam Era
Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act
of 1974 (‘‘VEVRAA’’), 38 U.S.C. 4212(d),
requires Federal contractors and
subcontractors subject to the Act’s
affirmative action provisions in 38
U.S.C. 4212(a) to track and report
annually to the Secretary of Labor the
number of employees in their
workforces, by job category and hiring
location, who belong to the specified
categories of protected veterans. VETS
maintains regulations to implement the
reporting requirements under VEVRAA
and uses the VETS–4212 form for
providing the required information on
the employment of covered veterans.
The regulations in 41 CFR part 61–
300 require contractors and
subcontractors with a covered Federal
contract entered into or modified in the

Employment Report VETS–4212 form
for reporting information on their
employment of covered veterans under
VEVRAA.
The VETS–4212 Report is currently
approved under OMB No. 1293–0005.
II. Desired Focus of Comments: VETS
is soliciting comments concerning a
request to extend the currently
approved information collection
request. The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:

collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
D 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;
D Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
D Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,

of responses.
