SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. The VETS maintains two sets of regulations to implement the reporting requirements under the VEVRAA and uses two different forms for providing the required information on the employment of covered veterans. Regulations set forth in 41 CFR part 61–250 require contractors with a government contract of $25,000 or more entered into before December 1, 2003, to use Form VETS–100 for reporting information on the number of covered veterans in their workforces. Regulations set forth in 41 CFR part 61– 300 implement amendments to the reporting requirements under the VEVRAA made by the Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA) (Pub. L. 107–288) enacted in 2002. The JVA amended the VEVRAA by: (1) Increasing from $25,000 to $100,000, the dollar amount of the contract that subjects a Federal contractor to the requirement to report on veterans’ employment; and (2) changing the categories of covered veterans under the VEVRAA, and thus the categories of veterans that contractors are required to track and report on annually. These latter regulations require contractors with a government contract entered into or modified on or after December 1, 2003, PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29271 in the amount of $100,000 or more to use Form VETS–100A for reporting information on their employment of covered veterans under the VEVRAA. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the collection of information does not display a valid OMB control number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under OMB Control Number 1293–0005. The current OMB approval is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2011; however, it should be noted that information collections submitted to the OMB receive a monthto-month extension while they undergo review. For additional information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on January 13, 2011 (76 FR 2420). Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in the ADDRESSES section within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate consideration, comments should reference OMB Control Number 1293– 0005. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that: • 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. The VETS maintains two sets of regulations to 
implement the reporting requirements under the VEVRAA and uses two 
different forms for providing the required information on the 
employment of covered veterans.
    Regulations set forth in 41 CFR part 61-250 require contractors 
with a government contract of $25,000 or more entered into before 
December 1, 2003, to use Form VETS-100 for reporting information on the 
number of covered veterans in their workforces. Regulations set forth 
in 41 CFR part 61-300 implement amendments to the reporting 
requirements under the VEVRAA made by the Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA) 
(Pub. L. 107-288) enacted in 2002. The JVA amended the VEVRAA by: (1) 
Increasing from $25,000 to $100,000, the dollar amount of the contract 
that subjects a Federal contractor to the requirement to report on 
veterans' employment; and (2) changing the categories of covered 
veterans under the VEVRAA, and thus the categories of veterans that 
contractors are required to track and report on annually. These latter 
regulations require contractors with a government contract entered into 
or modified on or after December 1, 2003, in the amount of $100,000 or 
more to use Form VETS-100A for reporting information on their 
employment of covered veterans under the VEVRAA.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the 
collection of information does not display a valid OMB control number. 
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this 
information collection under OMB Control Number 1293-0005. The current 
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2011; however, it should 
be noted that information collections submitted to the OMB receive a 
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For additional 
information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register 
on January 13, 2011 (76 FR 2420).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within 30 days of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should reference OMB Control Number 1293-0005. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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.
