SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, 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
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that 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 collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Veterans’ Employment and Training
Service (VETS) is soliciting comments

concerning the proposed revision of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 covered veterans. VETS
has issued regulations set forth in 41
CFR part 61–250 that currently require
contractors to use the Federal Contractor
Veterans’ Employment Report VETS–
100 (‘‘VETS–100 Report’’) form for
reporting information on the number of
covered veterans in their workforces.
The VETS–100 Report is currently
approved under OMB No. 1293–0005.
The Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA) (Pub.
L. 107–288), which was enacted in
2002, amended VEVRAA by making two
changes to the reporting requirements
applicable to contracts entered into on
or after December 1, 2003. The JVA
amendments: (1) Increased from $25,000
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
56103
to $100,000, the dollar amount of the
contract that subjects a Federal
contractor to the requirement to report
on veterans’ employment; and (2)
changed the categories of covered
veterans under VEVRAA, and thus the
categories of veterans that contractors
are required to track and report on
annually.
The JVA amendments to the reporting
requirements under VEVRAA apply
only to contracts entered into on or after
December 1, 2003. Some contractors
have Government contracts that were
entered into before December 1, 2003,
and are still subject to the reporting
requirements in 41 CFR part 61–250.
Therefore, VETS has determined that it
will be necessary to maintain two sets
of regulations to implement the
reporting requirements under VEVRAA,
and use two different forms for
providing the required information on
the employment of covered veterans.
On August 8, 2006, VETS published
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM), (71 FR 44945), to implement
the changes made by JVA to the
reporting requirements under VEVRAA.
The NPRM proposed to adopt a new set
of regulations that would be codified in
a new 41 CFR part 61–300. The NPRM
also proposed to adopt a new form for
reporting the information on veterans’
employment required by the JVA
amendments to VEVRAA and name it
the Federal Contractor Veterans’
Employment Report VETS–100A. The
existing regulations at 41 CFR part 60–
250 and the VETS–100 reporting
requirements will continue to apply to
Government contracts entered into
before December 1, 2003.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently VETS is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
revision of the currently approved
information collection request to
include the ‘‘Federal Contractor
Veterans’ Employment Report VETS–
100A.’’ The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• 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
