This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Prohibiting Discrimination Based on
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
by Contractors and Subcontractors
information collection codified in
regulations 41 CFR parts 60–1, 60–2,
60–3, 60–4, and 60–50. Among other
things, these regulations set forth
information disclosure and reporting
requirements for covered Federal
contractors, subcontractors, and
federally assisted construction
contractors and subcontractors
(collectively referred to as contractors).
This information collection request
supports the final rule published
December 8, 2014, (79 FR 72703)
implementing Executive Order 11246,
Equal Employment Opportunity
(published September 28, 1965, 30 FR
12319) and Executive Order 13672,
Further Amendments to Executive
Order 11478, Equal Employment
Opportunity in the Federal Government,
and Executive Order 11246, Equal
Employment Opportunity (published
July 23, 2014, 79 FR 42971).
The final rule sets forth the following
information disclosure and reporting
requirements for covered Federal
contractors: (1) Contractors must
incorporate specific language into the
equal opportunity clause used in
covered subcontracts and purchase
orders; (2) contractors are expressly to
state in solicitations for employees that
all qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without
regard to race, color, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity, or
national origin; and (3) contractors are
to disclose when their employees or
prospective employees are denied a visa
of entry to a country in which or with
which the contractors are doing
business. Executive Order 11246,

‘‘Equal Employment Opportunity,’’
section 202; and Executive Order 13672,
‘‘Further Amendments to Executive
Order 11478, Equal Employment
Opportunity in the Federal

section 202 (published September 28,
1965, 30 FR 12319) and E.O. 13672
section 2 (published July 23, 2014, 79

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 1250–0009.
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
September 30, 2015. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related final rule
published in the Federal Register on
December 8, 2014 (79 FR 72703).
Interested parties are encouraged to

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
1250–0009. 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;
