Written
comments and/or suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning
the proposed collection of information
are encouraged. Your comments should
address one or more of the following
four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Office of Attorney
Recruitment and Management,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Evaluate whether, and if so, how,
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected can be
enhanced; and
(4) 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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of information collection:
Renewal of a Currently Approved
Collection.
2. The title of the form/collection:
Electronic Applications for the Attorney
Student Loan Repayment Program.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
department sponsoring the collection:
There is no agency form number for this
collection. The applicable component
within the Department of Justice is the
Office of Attorney Recruitment and
Management, Justice Management
Division, U.S. Department of Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households. Other: None. The
Department of Justice Attorney Student
Loan Repayment Program (ASLRP) is an
agency recruitment and retention
incentive program based on 5 U.S.C.
5379, as amended, and 5 CFR part 537.
Individuals currently employed as a

DOJ attorney and incoming hires for
attorney positions within the
Department may request consideration
for the ASLRP. The Department selects
new participants during an annual open
season each spring and renews current
beneficiaries (DOJ employees) who
remain qualified for these benefits,
subject to availability of funds. There
are two application forms—one for new
requests, and the other for renewal
requests. A justification form
(applicable to new requests only) and a
loan continuation form complete the
collection. The ‘‘new request’’ form is
submitted voluntarily, by current DOJ
employees as well as by incoming DOJ
attorney hires who, if selected, do not
receive benefits until they are a DOJ
employee. Renewal requests are
submitted by only by current DOJ
employees—no non-employees would
qualify.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: The Department
anticipates about 275 respondents
annually will complete the new request
form and justification form and apply
for participation in the ASLRP. Of those,
an average of 10 or less are incoming
attorney hires who have not yet entered
on duty with the DOJ. In addition, each
year the Department expects to receive
approximately 110 applications from
current employees (DOJ attorneys)
requesting renewal of the benefits they
received in the preceding year. It is
estimated that each new request
(including justification) will take two (2)
hours to complete, and each renewal
request approximately 20 minutes to
complete.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection:
a. The estimated burden associated
with this collection is 586 hours, 40
minutes. It is estimated that new
applicants will take 2 hours to complete
the request form and justification and
that previously selected recipients
requesting continued funding will take
20 minutes to complete a renewal form.
The burden hours for collecting
respondent data, 586 hours, 40 minutes,
are calculated as follows: 275 new
respondents × 2 hours = 550 hours, plus
110 renewing respondents × 20 minutes
= 36 hours, 40 minutes.
b. An estimate of the public burden
focusing only incoming hires and
excluding current DOJ employees is 20
hours, calculated as follows: 10 new
respondents (incoming hires) × 2 hours
= 20 hours.

Child Labor, Forced Labor, and Forced
or Indentured Child Labor in the
Production of Goods in Foreign
Countries and Efforts by Certain
Foreign Countries To Eliminate the
Worst Forms of Child Labor
The Bureau of International
Labor Affairs, United States Department
of Labor.
ACTION: Notice; request for information
and invitation to comment.
AGENCY:
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 2018 Findings on the Worst Forms
of Child Labor report (TDA Report),
published on September 27, 2019,
discusses efforts of 131 countries and
territories to eliminate the worst forms
of child labor over the course of 2018
and assesses whether countries made
significant, moderate, minimal, or no
advancement during that year to address
the worst forms of child labor. 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),
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

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 2020; the next edition
of the TVPRA List, to be published in
2020; and possible updates to the E.O.
13126 List as needed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. The Trade and Development Act of
2000 (TDA), Public Law 106–200 (2000),
established eligibility criteria for receipt
of trade benefits under the Generalized
System of Preferences (GSP). The TDA
amended the GSP reporting
requirements of Section 504 of the
Trade Act of 1974, 19 U.S.C. 2464, to
require that the President’s annual
report on the status of internationally
recognized worker rights include
‘‘findings by the Secretary of Labor with
respect to the beneficiary country’s
implementation of its international
commitments to eliminate the worst
forms of child labor.’’

The TDA Conference Report clarifies
this mandate, indicating that the
President consider the following when
considering whether a country is
complying with its obligations to
eliminate the worst forms of child labor:
‘‘(1) whether the country has adequate
laws and regulations proscribing the
worst forms of child labor; (2) whether
the country has adequate laws and
regulations for the implementation and
enforcement of such measures; (3)
whether the country has established
formal institutional mechanisms to
investigate and address complaints
relating to allegations of the worst forms
of child labor; (4) whether social
programs exist in the country to prevent
the engagement of children in the worst
forms of child labor, and to assist with
the removal of children engaged in the
worst forms of child labor; (5) whether
the country has a comprehensive policy
for the elimination of the worst forms of
child labor; and (6) whether the country
is making continual progress toward
eliminating the worst forms of child
labor.’’ (H. Conf. Rept. 106–606, May 4,
2000, p. 124).
DOL fulfills this reporting mandate
through annual publication of the U.S.
Department of Labor’s Findings on the
Worst Forms of Child Labor report with
respect to countries eligible for GSP. To
access the 2018 TDA Report, please visit
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/
resources/reports/child-labor/findings/.
II. Section 105(b) of the Trafficking
Victims Protection Reauthorization Act
of 2005 (‘‘TVPRA of 2005’’), Public Law
109–164 (2006), 22 U.S.C 7112(b), as
amended by Section 133 of the
Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims
Prevention and Protection
Reauthorization Act of 2018, Public Law
115–425, directs the Secretary of Labor,
acting through ILAB, to ‘‘develop and
make available to the public a list of
goods from countries that ILAB has
reason to believe are produced by forced
labor or child labor in violation of
international standards, including, to
the extent practicable, goods that are
produced with inputs that are produced
with forced labor or child labor.’’
(TVPRA List).
Pursuant to its mandate under the
TVPRA of 2005, on December 27, 2007,
DOL published in the Federal Register
a set of procedural guidelines that ILAB
follows in developing the TVPRA List
(72 FR 73374). The guidelines set forth
the criteria by which information is
evaluated; established procedures for
public submission of information to be
considered by ILAB; and identified the
process ILAB follows in maintaining
and updating the TVPRA List after its
initial publication.
