information collection has been
classified as a revision, because of
clarifications to a statement about
accommodations available to persons
with disabilities who file the form.
WHCA section 104(a) authorizes this
information collection. See 42 U.S.C.
1704(a).
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 1240–0006. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
remain in effect 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 12, 2016 (81 FR 70443).
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
1240–0006. 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.

interviews with 15–18 survey
participants, each projected to require
20 minutes to complete, will add depth
and clarity of understanding to the
online survey. An additional online
survey, projected to require 10 minutes
to complete, will be conducted with a
sampling of adult museum participants
in the program to gauge the level of
awareness of the program and its
influence on their museum experience.
