Reporting Requirements; Proposed
Renewal of Information Collection
Requirements; Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor
(DOL), as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, conducts a pre-clearance
consultation program to provide the
general public and federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
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
Programs (OFCCP) is soliciting
comments concerning its proposal to
renew the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval of the
information collection that covers
OFCCP’s construction recordkeeping
and reporting requirements. The current
OMB approval for this collection
expires on April 30, 2021. A copy of the
proposed information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the office
listed below in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
Notice or by accessing it at
www.regulations.gov.
SUMMARY:
Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
December 29, 2020.

information collection request.

print, braille, audio recording) upon
request by calling the numbers listed
above.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: OFCCP administers
and enforces three equal employment
opportunity laws listed below.
• Executive Order 11246, as amended
(E.O. 11246)
• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, as amended (Section 503)
• Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974, as amended
(VEVRAA)
These authorities prohibit
employment discrimination by covered
federal contractors and subcontractors
and require that they take affirmative
action to 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,

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 211 / Friday, October 30, 2020 / Notices
or sharing information about their pay
or, in certain circumstances, 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 that 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 contractors and
subcontractors to take affirmative action
to employ and advance in employment
qualified individuals with disabilities.
Section 503 applies to federal
contractors and subcontractors with
contracts in excess of $15,000. VEVRAA
requires contractors to take affirmative
action to employ, and advance in
employment, qualified protected
veterans. VEVRAA applies to federal
contractors and subcontractors with
contracts of $150,000 or more.
This information collection request
(ICR) seeks to renew the recordkeeping
and reporting requirements for
construction contractors. OFCCP seeks
to renew its existing Construction
Contract Award Notification Form
(Form CC–314), and introduce a new
batch upload feature that would enable
the submission of multiple notifications
at once. Additionally, the instruments
associated with Collection 1250–0011
(Construction Compliance Check
Letters) have been moved to this
collection to centralize the
recordkeeping and reporting burden of
the two ICRs.
II. Review Focus: OFCCP is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the compliance assistance functions
of the agency that support the agency’s
compliance mission, 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 information collection
in order to carry out and enhance its
responsibilities to enforce the
nondiscrimination and affirmative
action provisions of the three legal
authorities it administers.
