SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collections under OMB
Control No. 1225–0013 provides for
payment of fees and expenses to eligible
parties who have prevailed against the
Department in certain administrative
proceedings. In order to obtain an
award, the statute and associated
regulations (29 CFR part 16) require the
filing of an application. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on December 6, 2023
(88 FR 84833).
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
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
Agency: DOL–OASAM.

ACTION: Notice of a request for
comments regarding an information
collection.
AGENCY:
We are renewing a generic
information collection request (generic
ICR) entitled Generic Clearance for
NARA Public and Education Program
Registration. This notice announces that
we plan to submit this generic ICR plan
to OMB for approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act and solicits
comments on specific aspects of the
collection plan. We will use this to
collect information from individuals
registering for an education or other
program at NARA.
DATES: We must receive written
comments on or before April 29, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Contact Tamee Fechhelm by telephone
at 301–837–1694 with requests for
additional information or copies of the
proposed information collection and
supporting statement.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–13), we invite comments
on: (a) whether collecting this
information is necessary for proper
performance of the agency’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
our estimate of the information
collection’s burden on respondents; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information we propose to
collect; (d) ways to minimize the burden
on respondents of collecting the
information, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources people need to provide the
information, including time to review
instructions, process and maintain the
information, search data sources, and
respond.
Explanation of Generic ICRs
A generic ICR is a request for OMB to
approve a plan for conducting more
than one information collection using
very similar methods when (1) we can
evaluate the need for and the overall
practical utility of the data in advance,
as part of the review of the proposed
plan, but (2) we cannot determine the
details of the specific individual
collections until a later time. Most
generic clearances cover collections that
are voluntary, low burden (based on a
consideration of total burden, total
respondents, or burden per respondent),
and uncontroversial. This notice, for
example, describes a general plan to
gather registration information from
members of the public who wish to
participate in programs at NARA,
through a series of registration forms
used for a variety of current and future
education programs at different
facilities. As part of this plan, we
construct, distribute, and use the
registration forms in a similar manner,
but customize each one for the type and
location of the program involved.
Because we seek public comment on
the plan, we do not need to seek public
comment on each specific information

29FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Notices

collection that falls within the plan
when we later develop the individual
information collection. This saves the
Government time and burden, and it
streamlines our ability to gather
registration information so we can
provide more responsive programs.
However, we still submit each specific
information collection (e.g., each form)
to OMB for review, in accordance with
the terms of clearance set upon approval
of the plan. OMB assesses the
individual forms for PRA requirements,
ensures that they fit within the scope of
this generic ICR plan, and includes the
specific forms in the PRA public docket
prior to our use of them.
Specifics on This Information
Collection
Title: Generic Clearance for NARA
Public and Education Program
Registration.
Description: This generic information
collection request allows us to gather
information from those members of the
public who wish to register for public
events, education programs, tours, and
training sponsored by NARA. We will
not use these forms for quantitative
information collections designed to
yield reliably actionable results, such as
monitoring trends over time or
documenting program performance.
Purpose: Collecting this information
allows us to register participants for
NARA’s public, education, and training
programs throughout the agency’s
locations, and to collect and process
credit card payments. The information
is also used to develop mailing lists for
distribution of education-related
information and special NARA training
events, based on the request or
expressed interest of the person
registering. Advance registration allows
NARA offices to schedule the tours,
training, and events to maximize the
participants’ time and to accommodate
the participants in the space. The
information collected from registrants
will help ensure that users have an
effective, efficient, and satisfying
experience with our programs, in
compliance with E.O. 12862. Without
the ability to collect this information,
NARA would not be able to effectively
organize events, resulting in possibly
turning away members of the public
from events that might be overbooked.
Conditions: We will submit a specific
information collection for approval
under this generic clearance only if it
meets the following conditions:
• The collection is voluntary;
• The collection is low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:39 Feb 28, 2024
Jkt 262001
respondent) and is low-cost for both the
respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collection is non-controversial
and does not raise issues of concern to
other Federal agencies;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is retained only for the
period of time required by NARA
records schedules;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
As a general matter, information
collections under this generic collection
request will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private. In this notice,
NARA solicits comments concerning the
following information collection:

registration allows NARA offices to
schedule the tours, training, and events
