SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
VETS/USERRA/VP (VETS–1010 Form)
information collection. The VETS
USERRA/VP Form 1010 (VETS–1010
Form) is used to file complaints with
the Department of Labor’s Veterans’
Employment and Training Service
(VETS) under either the Uniformed
Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) or
the laws and regulations related to
Veterans’ Preference (VP) in Federal
employment. On October 13, 1994, the
Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA),
Public Law 103–353, 108 Stat. 3150 was
signed into law. Contained in Title 38,
U.S.C. 4301– 4335, USERRA is the
replacement for the Veterans’
Reemployment Rights (VRR) law.
The purposes of USERRA laws and
regulations are:
• To minimize disruption to the lives
of persons who perform service in the
uniformed services (including the
National Guard and Reserves), as well as
to their employers, their fellow
employees, and their communities, by
providing for prompt reemployment of
such persons upon completion of such
service;
• To encourage individuals to
participate in non-career uniformed
service by eliminating and minimizing
the disadvantages to civilian careers and
employment which can result from such
service; and
• To prohibit discrimination in
employment and acts of reprisal against
persons because of their obligations in
the uniformed services, prior service,
intention to join the uniformed services,
filing of a USERRA claim, seeking
assistance concerning an alleged
USERRA violation, testifying in a
proceeding, or otherwise assisting in an
investigation of a USERRA claim.
The Veterans Employment
Opportunities Act (VEOA) of 1998,
Public Law 105–339, 12 Stat. 3182,
contained in Title 5 U.S.C. 3330a–
3330c, authorizes the Secretary of Labor
to provide assistance to preference
eligible individuals who believe their
rights under the veterans’ preference
laws have been violated, and to
investigate claims filed by those
individuals.
The purposes of veterans’ preference
laws include: To provide preference for
certain veterans over others in Federal
hiring from competitive lists of

applicants; to allow access and open up
Federal job opportunities to veterans
that might otherwise be closed to the
public; and to provide preference
eligible veterans with preference over
others in retention during reductions in
force in Federal agencies. VETS has an
electronic complaint form, the VETS
e1010, available on our website. The
e1010 may be completed and submitted
electronically without having to
download, print, or mail a signed hard
copy to our Atlanta data center.
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 the OMB
under the PRA approves it 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–
0002.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
January 31, 2020. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. 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
September 30, 2019 (84 FR 51640).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment

administers and enforces Executive
Order 11246, section 503 of the
Rehabilitation Act (section 503), and the
Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment

implementing regulations. Collectively,
these laws require federal contractors to
take affirmative action and not
discriminate on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, disability, or
status as a protected veteran.
Additionally, Executive Order 11246
prohibits a contractor from discharging
or otherwise discriminating against
applicants or employees who inquire
about, discuss or disclose their
compensation or that of others, subject
to certain limitations. This information
collection request covers the
recordkeeping and third party
disclosure requirements for Section 503
and VEVRAA. OFCCP is not proposing
to collect new information with this
renewal. Section 503 prohibits
employment discrimination against

Title 38, U.S.C. 4301- 4335, USERRA is the replacement for the

authorizes the Secretary of Labor to provide assistance to preference
eligible individuals who believe their rights under the veterans'
preference laws have been violated, and to investigate claims filed by
