Background Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management The U.S. Department of Labor headquarters building, the Frances Perkins Building (FPB), has conference and meeting capabilities located in its public space areas that entities outside of the Department may request to use. In general, use of public space in Federal buildings is governed by section 581(h) of Title 40 of the United States Code (40 U.S.C. 581(h)). Section 581 is implemented by the Federal Management Regulations (FMR), which are published by GSA. Section 121(d) of title 40 of the US Code (40 U.S.C. 121(d)) authorizes the GSA Administrator to delegate GSA’s authority to an agency head. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM) operates the FPB under a 2003 delegation from GSA; the existing GSA–DOL delegation includes the authority provided in section 581(h) and, so, OASAM may exercise the authority provided by section 581(h) at the FPB, subject to applicable GSA and DOL regulations, policies and procedures. The delegation includes specific terms and conditions and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the ‘‘Standard Operating Procedures for Delegated GovernmentOwned Real Property’’ ‘‘SOP’’. Under the Delegation and SOP, the Department has authority under section 581(h)(2) to issue occasional use permits. The issuance of permits must comply with the Department’s Delegation and with GSA’s regulations in title 41 of the CFR, which covers a variety of subjects. Occasional use permits may only be issued to organizations engaging in cultural, educational, or recreational activities. In general, these permits are not available for commercial purposes. FMR 102–74, Subpart D—Occasional Use of Public Buildings—establishes rules and regulations for the occasional use of public areas of public buildings for cultural, educational and recreational activities as provided by 40 U.S.C. 581(h)(2). Under section 102– 74.465, any person or organization wishing to use a public area must file an application for a permit from the Federal agency buildings manager. Section 102–74.470 states that applicants must submit the following information: (a) Their full names, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers; (b) The organization sponsoring the proposed activity; (c) The individual(s) responsible for supervising the activity; Proposed Collection of Information; Comment Request ACTION: Notice.

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. The Department notes that a Federal agency cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it is approved by the 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The U.S. Department of Labor headquarters building, the Frances 
Perkins Building (FPB), has conference and meeting capabilities located 
in its public space areas that entities outside of the Department may 
request to use. In general, use of public space in Federal buildings is 
governed by section 581(h) of Title 40 of the United States Code (40 
U.S.C. 581(h)). Section 581 is implemented by the Federal Management 
Regulations (FMR), which are published by GSA. Section 121(d) of title 
40 of the US Code (40 U.S.C. 121(d)) authorizes the GSA Administrator 
to delegate GSA's authority to an agency head. The Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM) operates 
the FPB under a 2003 delegation from GSA; the existing GSA-DOL 
delegation includes the authority provided in section 581(h) and, so, 
OASAM may exercise the authority provided by section 581(h) at the FPB, 
subject to applicable GSA and DOL regulations, policies and procedures. 
The delegation includes specific terms and conditions and is subject to 
the terms and conditions set forth in the ``Standard Operating 
Procedures for Delegated Government-Owned Real Property'' ``SOP''. 
Under the Delegation and SOP, the Department has authority under 
section 581(h)(2) to issue occasional use permits. The issuance of 
permits must comply with the Department's Delegation and with GSA's 
regulations in title 41 of the CFR, which covers a variety of subjects. 
Occasional use permits may only be issued to organizations engaging in 
cultural, educational, or recreational activities. In general, these 
permits are not available for commercial purposes.
    FMR 102-74, Subpart D--Occasional Use of Public Buildings--
establishes rules and regulations for the occasional use of public 
areas of public buildings for cultural, educational and recreational 
activities as provided by 40 U.S.C. 581(h)(2). Under section 102-
74.465, any person or organization wishing to use a public area must 
file an application for a permit from the Federal agency buildings 
manager. Section 102-74.470 states that applicants must submit the 
following information:
    (a) Their full names, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers;
    (b) The organization sponsoring the proposed activity;
    (c) The individual(s) responsible for supervising the activity;
    (d) Documentation showing that the applicant has authority to 
represent the sponsoring organization;
    (e) A description of the proposed activity, including the dates and 
times during which it is to be conducted and the number of persons to 
be involved.
    OASAM has established policies and procedures concerning FPB public 
space. These policies and procedures are set forth in the Department of 
Labor Manual Series (DLMS) 2-510 as well as an application for public 
space use by DOL Agencies and DOL-related entities. To comply with the 
above cited statutory, rules and regulatory requirements for entities 
sponsored or not sponsored by DOL Agencies or DOL-related entities 
which seek to use FPB public space, the Department has created a 
separate new application form. This notice relates to this new 
application form.

II. Current Action

    OASAM is requesting that OMB approve the collection of information 
requirements on Form DL1-6062B, ``Application for Use of Public Space 
by Non-DOL Agencies in the Frances Perkins Building.'' Part of that 
approval process provides the public an opportunity to provide public 
comments about the proposed collection of information. OASAM will 
consider those comments prior to preparing a final package for 
submission to OMB. OASAM will also summarize the public comments 
submitted in response to this notice, and will include this summary in 
the request to OMB.

III. Desired Focus of Comments

    OASAM 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 submissions of responses.
