This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
OFCCP Recordkeeping and Reporting
Requirements Under the Vietnam Era
Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act
of 1974, as Amended (VEVRAA)
information collection. More
specifically, this ICR covers the
VEVRAA recordkeeping and third-party
disclosure requirements codified in
regulations 29 CFR 300.42 and 41 CFR
60–300. VEVRAA section 2012
authorizes this information collection.
See 38 U.S.C. 4212(d).
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 1250–0004.
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 on
January 31, 2017. 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 notice
published in the Federal Register on
August 26, 2016 (81 FR 58964).
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
1250–0004. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
