Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 197 / Thursday, October 11, 2012 / Notices
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
An
important aspect of the mission of the
BLS is to disseminate to the public the
maximum amount of information
possible; however, not all data are
publicly available, because of the
importance of maintaining the
confidentiality of BLS data. The BLS has
opportunities available, on a limited
basis, for eligible researchers to access
confidential data for purposes of
conducting valid statistical analyses that
further the mission of the BLS, as
permitted by the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA).
In order to provide access to
confidential data, the BLS must
determine that the researcher’s project
will be exclusively statistical in nature
and that the researcher is eligible based
on guidelines set out in the CIPSEA,
OMB implementation guidance on the
CIPSEA, and BLS policy. This
information collection provides the
vehicle through which the BLS will
obtain the necessary details to ensure all
researchers and projects comply with
appropriate laws and policies. The BLS
has made some clarifying revisions to
forms in this collection.
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 Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1220–0180. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2012; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements 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 May 17, 2012 (77 FR 29367).
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

consideration, comments should

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.

The
regulations implementing Executive
Order 11246 permit Federal supply and
service contractors to develop
affirmative action programs (AAPs) that
are based on business functions or
business units rather than AAPs based
on establishments. See 41 FR 60–
2.1(d)(4). Functional affirmative action
programs (FAAPs) are designed to
provide contractors with the option of
creating AAPs that better fit their
business needs. To develop and
implement a FAAP, a Federal contractor
must receive written approval from the
Director of the OFCCP. This ICR
addresses the collection of information
associated with the process for
obtaining, modifying, updating, and
renewing an agreement that allows a
contractor to develop and use a FAAP.
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

and displays a currently valid OMB
