SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Special Employment
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA) information collection. FLSA
special employment provisions relate to
restrictions on industrial homework and
to the use of special certificates that
allow for the employment of categories
of workers who may be paid less than
the statutory minimum wage to the
extent necessary to prevent curtailment
of their employment opportunities. This
information collection has been
classified as a revision, because of
changes to Forms WH–226 and WH–
226A that relate to the authorization to
pay subminimum wages to workers with
disabilities. The changes will allow the
WHD more effectively and efficiently to
fulfill its statutory directive to oversee
and enforce the FLSA section 14(c)
certificate program, including the new
conditions introduced to section 14(c)
certificate holders pursuant to the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act. FLSA sections 11 and 14 authorize
this information collection. See 29
U.S.C. 211, 214.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
62537
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 1235–0001. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on May
31, 2017; 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 this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on August 6, 2015 (80
FR 47004).
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
1235–0001. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–13), NARA invites the
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed information
collections. We published a notice of
proposed collection for this information
collection on June 21, 2016 (81 FR
40353); we received no comments. We
have therefore submitted the described
information collection to OMB for
approval.
In response to this notice, comments
and suggestions should address one or
more of the following points: (a)
Whether the proposed information
collection is necessary for NARA to
properly perform its functions; (b)
NARA’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection and its
accuracy; (c) ways NARA could enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information it collects; (d) ways NARA
could minimize the burden on
respondents of collecting the
information, including through
information technology; and (e) whether
the collection affects small businesses.
In this notice, NARA solicits comments
concerning the following information
collection:
Title: Consent to Make Inquiries and
Release of Information and Records.
OMB number: 3095–0068.
Agency Form Number: NA Form
10003.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions, and Federal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
400.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 13 hours.
Abstract: In order to fulfill its
Government-wide statutory mission,
OGIS provides varying types of
assistance to its customers, which
requires communicating with
Government departments and agencies
regarding the customer’s FOIA/Privacy
Act request/appeal. Under the Privacy
Act, the agencies may not share peoples’
personal information without either a
routine use that they inform people of
prior to gathering the information, or
permission from the involved person.
As a result, OGIS uses NA Form 10003
to collect that authorization and the
identifying information necessary for
the agency to identify the correct files so
that OGIS may provide the requested
assistance. Without the information
submitted in NA Form 10003, OGIS
would be unable to fulfill its mission or
provide assistance to requesters.
Requesters use the NA Form 10003,
OGIS Consent to Make Inquiries and
Release of Information and Records, to
(1) request that OGIS make inquiries on
their behalf and (2) authorize agencies
to release records and information
related to their FOIA and Privacy Act
requests and appeals so that OGIS can
assist in resolving the dispute or in
providing information to the requester.
The authority for this information
collection is prescribed by 5 U.S.C.
552a(b), and as interpreted by Taylor v.
Orr, No. 83–0389, 1983 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
20334, at *6 n.6 (D.D.C. Dec. 5, 1983.

Records Schedules; Availability and
Request for Comments
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when agencies no longer need them for
current Government business. The
records schedules authorize agencies to
preserve records of continuing value in
the National Archives of the United
States and to destroy, after a specified
period, records lacking administrative,
legal, research, or other value. NARA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
for records schedules in which agencies
propose to destroy records not
previously authorized for disposal or
reduce the retention period of records
already authorized for disposal. NARA
invites public comments on such
records schedules, as required by 44
U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: NARA must receive requests for
copies in writing by October 11, 2016.
Once NARA finishes appraising the
records, we will send you a copy of the
schedule you requested. We usually
prepare appraisal memoranda that
contain additional information
concerning the records covered by a
proposed schedule. You may also
request these. If you do, we will also
provide them once we have completed
the appraisal. You have 30 days after we
send to you these requested documents
in which to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting Records Appraisal
and Agency Assistance (ACRA) using
one of the following means:
Mail: NARA (ACRA); 8601 Adelphi
Road; College Park, MD 20740–6001.
Email: request.schedule@nara.gov.
FAX: 301–837–3698.
You must cite the control number,
which appears in parentheses after the
name of the agency that submitted the
schedule, and a mailing address. If you
would like an appraisal report, please
include that in your request.
