Background OFCCP administers and enforces the three equal employment opportunity authorities listed below: • Executive Order 11246, as amended (E.O. 11246); • Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (section 503); and • Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended (VEVRAA). These authorities prohibit employment discrimination by Federal contractors and subcontractors and require them to take affirmative action to ensure that equal employment opportunities are available 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, 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 Federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating in employment against individuals with disabilities. It also requires Federal contractors and subcontractors to take affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunity for individuals with disabilities. The Section 503 requirements apply to businesses with a direct Federal construction contract of more than $15,000. If the construction VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:23 Feb 23, 2024 Jkt 262001 contractor has at least 50 employees and a single contract of $50,000 or more, then it must also develop a section 503 affirmative action program (AAP), as described in 41 CFR 60–741, subpart C. VEVRAA prohibits Federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating in employment against protected veterans. It also requires Federal contractors and subcontractors to take affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunity for protected veterans. The VEVRAA requirements apply to businesses with a direct Federal construction contract of $150,000 or more. If the construction contractor has at least 50 employees and a single contract of $150,000 or more, then it must also develop a VEVRAA AAP, as described in 41 CFR 60–300, subpart C. This information collection request (ICR) seeks to renew the recordkeeping, reporting, third party disclosure, and other requirements for construction contractors. OFCCP seeks to renew its existing construction scheduling letter. This is the document contractors receive notifying them that they have been selected to undergo a construction compliance evaluation. OFCCP proposes changes to the construction scheduling letter to strengthen OFCCP’s construction program and increase the effectiveness of OFCCP’s construction compliance evaluations. OFCCP also seeks to renew the CC– 314 form. The CC–314 is the form that covered construction contractors submit to OFCCP notifying the agency of new contract awards that exceed $10,000. OFCCP proposes adding additional information to the form which will increase the utility of the collection. OFCCP also proposes updating our help line call in information and other minor language changes on the CC–314 for clarity. II. Review Focus OFCCP is particularly interested in comments that: • Evaluate the proposed changes to the construction scheduling letter and CC–314; • 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 PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • 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. III. Current Actions OFCCP seeks the approval of this information collection in order to carry out its responsibility to enforce the nondiscrimination and affirmative action provisions of the three authorities it administers.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Seleda Perryman, Directorate of Standards and Guidance, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor; telephone (202) 693–2222. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, the collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). The following sections describe who uses the information collected under E:\FR\FM\26FEN1.SGM 26FEN1
