The Department of Labor

burden, conducts a pre-clearance
consultation program to provide the
general public and federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA). The program helps to ensure that
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Office
of Federal Contract Compliance

comments concerning its proposal to
obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
implement the Excellence in Disability
Inclusion award. OFCCP will be sharing
the information with the Office of
Disability Employment Policy for the
purpose of partnering with them in
support of the award. A copy of the
proposed information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the office

These authorities prohibit employment
discrimination by covered federal
contractors and subcontractors and
require that they provide equal
employment opportunities regardless of
race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national
origin, disability, or status as a protected
veteran. Additionally, federal
contractors and subcontractors 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. E.O. 11246 applies
to federal contractors and
subcontractors and to federally assisted
construction contractors holding a
Government contract in excess of
$10,000, or Government contracts which
have, or can reasonably be expected to
have, an aggregate total value exceeding
$10,000 in a 12-month period. E.O.
11246 also applies to government bills
of lading, depositories of federal funds
in any amount, and to financial
institutions that are issuing and paying
agents for U.S. Savings Bonds. Section
503 prohibits employment
discrimination against applicants and
employees because of physical or
mental disability and requires
affirmative action to ensure that persons
are treated without regard to disability.
Section 503 applies to federal
contractors and subcontractors with
contracts in excess of $15,000. VEVRAA
prohibits employment discrimination
against protected veterans and requires
affirmative action to ensure that persons
are treated without regard to their status
as a protected veteran. VEVRAA applies
to federal contractors and
subcontractors with contracts of
$150,000 or more. This collection will
implement the Excellence in Disability
Inclusion award that will recognize
federal contractor and subcontractor
establishments that ensure equal
employment opportunity, foster
employment opportunities for
individuals with disabilities, and have
achieved a level of excellence in their
compliance with Section 503.
II. Review Focus: OFCCP 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: OFCCP seeks
approval of this new information
collection in order to carry out and
enhance its responsibilities to enforce
the anti-discrimination and affirmative
action provisions of the three legal
authorities it administers.

Child Labor, Forced Labor, and Forced

Worst Forms of Child Labor

This notice is a request for
information and/or comment on three
reports issued by the Bureau of
International Labor Affairs (ILAB)
regarding child labor and forced labor in
certain foreign countries. Relevant
information submitted by the public
will be used by the Department of Labor
(DOL) in preparing its ongoing reporting
as required under Congressional
mandates and a Presidential directive.
The 2017 Findings on the Worst Forms
of Child Labor report (TDA report),
published on September 20, 2018,
discusses efforts of 132 countries and
territories to eliminate the worst forms
of child labor over the course of 2017
and assesses whether countries made
significant, moderate, minimal, or no
advancement during that year. It also
suggests actions foreign countries can
take to eliminate the worst forms of
child labor through legislation,
enforcement, coordination, policies, and
social programs. The 2018 edition of the
List of Goods Produced by Child Labor
or Forced Labor (TVPRA List), also
published on September 20, 2018,
makes available to the public a list of
goods from countries that ILAB has
reason to believe are produced by child
labor or forced labor in violation of
international standards. Finally, the List
of Products Produced by Forced or
Indentured Child Labor (E.O. 13126
List), provides a list of products,
identified by country of origin, that
DOL, in consultation and cooperation
with the Departments of State (DOS)
and Homeland Security (DHS), has a
reasonable basis to believe might have
been mined, produced, or manufactured
with forced or indentured child labor.
Relevant information submitted by the
public will be used by DOL in preparing
the next edition of the TDA report, to be
published in 2019; the next edition of
the TVPRA List, to be published in
2020; and for possible updates to the
E.O. 13126 List as needed.
DATES: Submitters of information are
requested to provide their submission to
DOL’s Office of Child Labor, Forced
Labor, and Human Trafficking (OCFT) at
the email or physical address below by
5 p.m. on January 11, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Information submitted to
the Department of Labor should be
submitted directly to OCFT, Bureau of
International Labor Affairs, U.S.
Department of Labor. Comments,
identified as ‘‘Docket No. DOL–2018–
0006,’’ may be submitted by any of the
following methods:
