SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the OFCCP Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements--Supply 
and Service information collection, commonly referred to as the 
Scheduling Letter, which is used to schedule Federal contractors and 
subcontractors for compliance evaluations in accordance with Executive 
Order 11246 section 206, as amended; Rehabilitation Act of 1973 section 
503, as amended; and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance 
Act of 1974 section 402, as amended. These mandates prohibit Federal 
contractors and subcontractors from discriminating on the basis of 
race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, 
national origin, disability, or protected veteran's status. They also 
prohibit these employers from taking adverse employment actions against 
applicants and employees for asking about, discussing, or sharing 
information about their pay or, in certain circumstances, the pay of 
their co-workers. This information collection has been classified as a 
revision, because of minor clarifying edits to the Scheduling Letter 
and associated Itemized Listing to ensure contractors understand the 
information being requested and to strengthen the agency's assurances 
of confidentiality for the information provided. Executive Order 11246 
section 201, Rehabilitation Act of 1973 section 503, and Vietnam Era 
Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act section 402 authorize this 
information collection. See E.O. 11246 section 201, 29 U.S.C. 793, and 
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 1250-0003. 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 
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on 
October 29, 2015 (80 FR 66572).
    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 1250-0003. 
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;

[[Page 18892]]

     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.
