IV. Paperwork Reduction Act
Statement
According to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13)
(PRA), no persons are required to
respond to a collection of information
unless such collection displays a valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. The Department
notes that a Federal agency cannot
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it is approved by
OMB under the PRA, and displays a
currently valid OMB control number;
further, the public is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. See 44 U.S.C. 3507.
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 44 U.S.C. 3512.
OMB has approved the Department’s
no-material, non-substantive change
request for the updated notices under
OMB Control Number 1210–0123. The
public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated to
average approximately 3 minutes per
respondent, including time for gathering
and maintaining the data needed to
complete the required disclosure. There
is also an additional $0.44 average cost
per response for mailing costs.
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments regarding the burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to
the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of
the Chief Information Officer, Attention:
Departmental Clearance Officer, 200
Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N–
1301, Washington, DC 20210 or e-mail
DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov and
reference the OMB Control Number
1210–0123.
V. Models

the model notices available in
modifiable, electronic form on its Web
site: https://www.dol.gov/COBRA.
