Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 186 / Thursday, September 25, 2014 / Notices
1, 2003. The part 61–300 regulations
require contractors to use the Federal
Contractor Veterans’ Employment
Report VETS–100A (VETS–100A
Report) to provide information on
veterans’ employment. The Final Rule
revises the manner in which Federal
contractors report on their employment
of protected veterans and renames the
annual report required under the part
61–300 regulations the Federal
Contractor Veterans’ Employment
Report VETS–4212 (VETS–4212). The
new VETS–4212 Report reflects the new
regulatory requirements. Contractors
and subcontractors will have to comply
with the reporting requirements in the
Final Rule and use the VETS–4212
Report beginning with the annual report
filed in 2015. Consequently, the ICR
maintains the existing VETS–100A
Report during the transition period. The
DOL will submit a request to
discontinue the VETS–100A Report
once contractors begin using the new
VETS–4212 Report. The VEVRAA
authorizes this information collection.
See 38 U.S.C. 4212.
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 1293–0005. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
September 30, 2014; however, the DOL
notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New requirements would only take
effect upon OMB approval. For
additional substantive information
about the subject information collection
requirements, see the related Final Rule
published elsewhere in today’s issue of
the Federal Register.
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 thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention 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.
