The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for final
approval. This program helps to ensure
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 can be properly assessed.
This ICR is for an information
collection designed to ensure that
programs or activities funded, in whole
or in part, by the DOL operate in a
nondiscriminatory manner. The
reporting requirements cover programs
and activities to collect, maintain, and
report—upon DOL request—race,
ethnicity, sex, age, and disability data
for program applicants, eligible
applicants, participants, terminees,
applicants for employment, and
employees. The DOL also provides a
vehicle that allows a person to file a
complaint of discriminatory activity
under a DOL funded program.
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 1225–0077.
The DOL seeks to revise the
information collection. Specifically, the
DOL wants to make a minor change to
the Complaint Information Form to
clarify the information requested. The
revised information collection will
allow the DOL to carry out its
responsibility to ensure
nondiscrimination in programs and
activities funded, in whole or in part, by
the DOL. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal, and the current
approval for this collection is scheduled

to expire on July 31, 2014. The DOL
intends to extend PRA authorization for
this information collection for three (3)
years from the date OMB takes action on
the revision request; therefore, the DOL
invites comments on all aspects of the
Nondiscrimination Compliance
Information Reporting information
collection.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention Control Number 1225–
0077. A commenter may request oral
confirmation that a submission has been
received by contacting the individual
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this notice. No other
method will be used to acknowledge the
receipt of a comment.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be a matter of the public
record for this ICR and posted on the
Internet, without redaction. The DOL
will not honor any request to the
contrary for a comment submitted in
response to this notice. The DOL
encourages commenters not to include
sensitive personal information (e.g., a
social security number), confidential
business data (e.g., a bank account or
other financial institution number or
trade secret), or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL 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.
