SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA approval for revisions to
the Federal Contractor Veterans' Employment Report information
collection. VEVRAA generally requires a covered Federal contractor or
subcontractor to report annually on the total number of its employees
who belong to the categories of VEVRAA protected veterans and the total
number of those employees who hired during the period covered by the
report. This ICR has been characterized as a revision, because the
agency has now fully phased out the VETS-100A Report. All reporting
will now be done using the VETS-4212 Report, which has fewer reporting
elements that its predecessor. The Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974 authorizes this information collection. See 38
U.S.C. 4212.
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 1293-0005. 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 July 18, 2017 (82 FR 32875).
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,

the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this

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.
