Proposed Collection of Information;
Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, is
conducting a pre-clearance consultation
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 (PRA) [44 U.S.C.
3505(c)(2)(A)]. The 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 the collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed.
The Department notes that a federal
agency cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it is
approved by Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the PRA, and
displays a currently valid OMB control
number, and the public is not required
to respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. Also, notwithstanding
any other provisions of law, no person
shall be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
if the collection of information does not
display a currently valid OMB control
number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. Currently, the International
Labor Affairs Bureau is soliciting
comments regarding the proposed
collection of nominations for candidates
eligible for an annual award to
recognize extraordinary efforts to reduce
the worst forms of child labor. A copy
of the proposed information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed below in the address
section of this notice.

submitted to the office listed in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The U.S. Department
of Labor’s (DOL) Iqbal Masih Award for
the Elimination of Child Labor,
presented by the Secretary of Labor, is
intended to recognize exceptional
efforts to reduce the worst forms of
child labor and is in response to a
Senate Committee mandate (Significant
Report 110–107 DM/ILAB). The
mandate directs the Secretary of Labor
to establish an annual non-monetary
award recognizing extraordinary efforts
by an individual, company, organization
or national government to reduce the
worst forms of child labor. DOL is
proposing a new data collection exercise
to allow the public to nominate and
provide critical information on
proposed candidates for this award who
have demonstrated extraordinary efforts
to combat the worst forms of child labor.
II. Current Action: Pursuant to the
PRA implementing regulations at 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), this notice requests
comments on the proposed information
collection request that will be part for
the nomination process for the Iqbal
Masih Award. The actual award process
will be officially announced at a later
date after the OMB has reviewed and
approved the information collection
requirements for the contents of
nominations for the Award. Interested
parties are encouraged to provide
comments to the individual listed in the
ADDRESSES section above.
III. Desired Focus of Comments: The
Department 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
• 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.
