SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
On September 1, 2005, the Coast
Guard recertified the Cook Inlet
Regional Citizen’s Advisory Council
through August 31, 2006 (70 FR 51077).
Under the Oil Terminal and Oil Tanker
Environmental Oversight Act of 1990
(33 U.S.C. 2732), the Coast Guard may
certify, on an annual basis, an
alternative voluntary advisory group in
lieu of a regional citizens’ advisory
council for Cook Inlet, Alaska. This
advisory group monitors the activities of
terminal facilities and crude oil tankers
under the Cook Inlet Program
established by Congress, 33 U.S.C. 2732
(b).
On September 16, 2002, the Coast
Guard published a notice of policy on
revised recertification procedures for
alternative voluntary advisory groups in
lieu of councils at Cook Inlet, Alaska (67
FR 58440). This revised policy indicated
that Cook Inlet Regional Citizen’s
Advisory Council recertification in 2006
need only submit a streamlined
application and public comments would
not be solicited prior to that
recertification.
Dated: September 18, 2006.

administering HUD-assisted programs
must enforce Federal labor standards
requirements, including the payment of
prevailing wage rates to laborers and
mechanics employed on HUD-assisted
construction and maintenance work that
is covered by these requirements.
Enforcement activities include securing
funds to ensure the payment of wage
restitution that has been or may be
found due to laborers and mechanics
who were employed on HUD-assisted
projects, and the payment of liquidated
damages that may be assessed for
violations of Contract Work Hours and
Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA)
overtime provisions. Ultimately, these
funds are deposited to an account in the
U.S. Treasury. If the labor standards
discrepancies are resolved, HUD
refunds associated amounts to the
depositor. As underpaid laborers and
mechanics are located, HUD sends wage
restitution payments to the effected
workers. Liquidated damages assessed
for CWHSSA overtime violations are
retained by HUD.
In order to make refunds and wage
restitution payments, HUD must verify
the identity of the payee to ensure that
the refund is made to the correct
depositor or to the correct worker before
payment is made. In order to complete
these verifications, HUD will request
information such as the depositor’s or
payee’s tax identification number (i.e.,
employer identification number or
Social Security Number), the project
name or number, and/or the worker’s
employer’s name.
All refunds from labor standards
deposit accounts are made
electronically. Depositors entitled to a
refund must provide to HUD the name,
address, and account information for the
banking institution to which it wants
the refund sent. Wage restitution
payments may be made by check or
electronically, at the payee’s choice.
HUD must collect either the payee’s
mailing address, so that a check may be
sent to them, or banking information for
an electronic payment.
Agency form numbers, if applicable:
HUD–4734, Labor Standards Deposit
Account Voucher. This form is
completed by HUD staff after depositor
or payee verification and the collection
of payment processing information, i.e.,
financial institution information or mail
delivery address.
Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: The estimated
number of respondents is 50 per year.
The estimated number of hours needed
per respondent is .1 hours. The total

public burden is estimated to be 5 hours
per year. Payees do not need to
complete a form; the information may
be collected by HUD in person, by
telephone, or in writing, at the payee’s
option.
Status of the proposed information
collection: Extension of existing
collection approved under OMB number
2501–0021.

of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.

information:
Title of Proposal: Federal Labor
Standards Remote Monitoring.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Many
HUD programs are subject to Federal
labor standards provisions, including
the payment of federally-determined
prevailing wage rates to construction
and maintenance laborers and
mechanics, and the payment of
premium rates for overtime hours
worked. Several HUD programs are
administered by State, local, and tribal
agencies, aka local contracting agencies
(LCAs), to which HUD has delegated
labor standards administration and
enforcement responsibilities. HUD is
responsible, overall, for full compliance
with Federal labor standards
requirements in all of its programs and
must monitor LCA performance. HUD
prefers to conduct monitoring reviews
on-site, at the LCA’s place(s) of
business. In some instances, resource
constraints may limit HUD’s ability to
conduct on-site LCA monitoring. To
ensure compliance, HUD may resort to
remote monitoring requiring LCAs to
submit to HUD information relating to
performance in the delegated areas of
labor standards administration and
enforcement.
In order for HUD to accomplish
remote monitoring and to assist LCAs,
HUD proposes to institute remote
monitoring information collection
requirements and has created forms on
which LCAs may submit information
necessary for HUD’s monitoring review.
HUD and LCAs would be required to
maintain records of these remote
monitoring forms and the results of the
remote monitoring review for three (3)
years after the review or the resolution
of any findings, whichever is later.
