SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: OFCCP administers
three nondiscrimination and equal
employment opportunity laws:
• Executive Order 11246, as amended
(EO 11246);
• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 793
(referred to as Section 503); and
• Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as
amended, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA).
Generally, these authorities prohibit
employment discrimination and require
affirmative action to ensure that equal
employment opportunity regardless of
race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national
origin, disability, or status as a protected
veteran by Federal contractors and
subcontractors (hereafter collectively
referred to as contractors). Additionally,
contractors are prohibited from
discriminating against applicants and
employees for asking about, discussing,
or sharing information about their pay
or the pay of their co-workers. For
purposes of OMB clearance, OFCCP
divides its responsibilities under these
authorities into two categories: (1)
Construction and (2) non-construction
(supply and service). This clearance
request covers the construction
information collection. It also merges
the recordkeeping and reporting

requirements of two existing
information collections with this ICR.
Specifically, the ICR entitled
‘‘Prohibiting Discrimination Based on
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
by Contractors and Subcontractors’’ that
covers prohibitions against
discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation and gender identity,1 and
the ICR entitled ‘‘Government
Contractors, Prohibitions Against Pay
Secrecy Policies and Actions’’ that
covers prohibitions against pay secrecy
policies and actions.2 To view the
current construction information
collection, go to https://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201406-1250-001.
II. Review Focus: DOL is particularly
interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the compliance and enforcement
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 submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: DOL seeks the
approval of the renewal of this
information in order to carry out its
responsibility to enforce the
antidiscrimination and affirmative
action provisions of the three legal
authorities it administers. Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval of the information
collection request; they will also
become a matter of public record.
