noncompliance with its contractual
obligations under the laws enforced by
OFCCP. However, any employee or
applicant for employment with a
Government contractor may file a
complaint with the Department of Labor
alleging discrimination by completing
Complaint Form CC–4, Complaint of
Discrimination in Employment under
Federal Government Contracts. DOL
investigates the complaint but retains
the discretion whether to pursue
prosecution. If a complaint filed under
Executive Order 11246, as amended,
involves discrimination against only
one person, the OFCCP may refer it to
the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Such
referrals are made under a
Memorandum of Understanding
between the two Federal agencies.
Complaints that involve groups of
people or indicate patterns of
discrimination are generally
investigated by the OFCCP. The
program also investigates individual or
group complaints filed under the
disability and veterans laws. Under
Executive Order 11246, as amended, the
authority for collection of complaint
information is Section 206(b). The
implementing regulations which specify
the content of this information
collection are found at 41 CFR 60–
1.23(a).
Under the Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as
amended, the authority for collecting
complaints information is at 38 U.S.C.
4212(b). The implementing regulations
which specify the content of this
information collection are found at 41
CFR 60–250.61(b) and 41 CFR 60–
300.61(b). Section 503 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
is the authority for collecting complaint
information under the statute. The
implementing regulations which specify
the content of this information
collection are found at 41 CFR 60–
741.61(c). This information collection
request covers the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements for the
Complaint Form CC–4, Complaint of
Discrimination in Employment under
Federal Government Contracts. A
separate information collection request
covers the recordkeeping and reporting
requirements for supply and service
industries, and is approved under OMB
1250–0003. This information collection
is currently approved for use through
September 30, 2011.
II. Review Focus: The DOL 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.
III. Current Actions: The DOL seeks
the approval of the extension of this

responsibility to enforce the affirmative
action and anti-discrimination
provisions of the three Acts, which it
administers.

Proposed Information Collection for
the Evaluation of the Aging Worker
Initiative; Comment Request
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Labor, as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden conducts a preclearance
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
Employment and Training
Administration is soliciting comments
concerning the collection of information
for Evaluation of the Aging Worker
Initiative (AWI). The information
collection will not be conducted until
approved by OMB and it will display
the OMB control number. There will be
no penalty assessed for failure to
respond to this approved information
collection. A copy of the proposed
information collection request can be
obtained by contacting the office listed
below in the ADDRESSES section of this
notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addressee’s section below on or before
January 18, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The proposed information collection
is for an evaluation of 10 grants, totaling
$13 million, which comprise the AWI.
The AWI grants, provided to local
agencies, are being used to test new
E:\FR\FM\19NON1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 223 / Friday, November 19, 2010 / Notices
occupational training and workforce
services for workers aged 55 and older.
The evaluation will examine
implementation of the grants, document
the types of interventions, assess
attributes of these treatments, estimate
their success in helping aging workers
become or remain employed, and
discuss the potential for implementation
of various methods in the broader
workforce system.
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) clearance of the information
collection is needed since it will involve
(1) two rounds of site visits with the ten
grantees, (2) phone reconnaissance with
the ten grantees, and (3) additional
participant-level data, beyond what is
needed for the OMB-approved quarterly
and Common Measures reporting
requirements for High Growth Job
Training Grants (as required for the AWI
grants). The additional data is needed to
understand in greater detail the
characteristics of participants, the
services provided to them, and the
linkages among different programs in
providing services. Each grantee will
also need to provide the participant data
to the evaluation contractor on two
occasions, using a secure FTP site or by
CD, at the grantee’s discretion.
II. Review Focus
The U.S. 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
• 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,
