Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 244 / Wednesday, December 19, 2012 / Notices
The DOL
Iqbal Masih Award for the Elimination
of Child Labor, presented by the
Secretary of Labor, is intended to
recognize exceptional efforts to reduce
the worst forms of child labor. The
Award was created in response to a
Senate Committee mandate directing the
Secretary of Labor to establish an annual
non-monetary award recognizing
extraordinary efforts by an individual,
company, organization, or national
government to reduce the worst forms of
child labor. The DOL is proposing to
extend this ICR to allow the public to
nominate and provide critical
information on proposed candidates for
this award who have demonstrated
extraordinary efforts to combat the
worst forms of child labor.
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 that 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 1290–0007. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
December 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 September 28, 2012 (77 FR
59668).
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
mention OMB Control Number 1290–
0007. 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.

November 10, 2012, South Carolina
employers were potentially liable for a
reduction in their FUTA offset credit for
2012.
Section 3302(g) of FUTA provides
that a state may avoid credit reduction
for a year by meeting certain criteria.
South Carolina applied for avoidance of
the 2012 credit reduction under this
section. Pursuant to delegation of
authority to me under Secretary’s Order
06–2010, I have determined that South
Carolina meets all of the criteria of
section 3302(g) and thus qualifies for
credit reduction avoidance. Therefore,
South Carolina employers will have no
reduction in FUTA offset credit for
calendar year 2012.
Dated: Signed in Washington, DC, on this
7th day of December, 2012.

Assistant Secretary for Employment and

consecutive years are subject to a

against the FUTA tax for a calendar
year, if a balance of advances remains at
