SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Labor Organization and Auxiliary Reports information collection. The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act requires a union to file an annual financial report and a copy of the union’s constitution and bylaws with the DOL. Under certain circumstances, reports are required of a union officer and employee, employer, labor relations consultant, and surety company. Any such report is available for public disclosure. A filer is required to retain supporting records for five years; a union is also required to retain election records for one year. This information collection has been classified as a revision, because the OLMS is changing the instructions to the Form LM–3 and LM–4 Labor Organization Annual Reports, in order to mandate electronic filing, as well as amend the hardship exemption process for Form LM–2 filers. If approved, the changes for the Forms LM–2, LM–3, and LM–4 will apply to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2017. 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 E:\FR\FM\18MYN1.SGM 18MYN1
