Agency Information Collection Activities; Information Collection 
Request; Labor Organization and Auxiliary Reports Comment Period 
Extension

AGENCY: Office of Labor-Management Standards, Department of Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document extends the period for comments on the proposal, 
published on May 20, 2015 (80 FR 29096), to amend the information 
collection request 1245-0003, particularly the Form LM-2, LM-3, and LM-
4 Labor Organization Annual Report instructions, to require filers of 
such reports to submit the reports electronically, and to modify the 
hardship exemption process for Form LM-2 filers. The comment period, 
which was to expire on July 20, 2015, is extended to August 19, 2015. A 
copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by 
contacting the office listed below in the addresses section of this 
Notice.

DATES: Written comments on the proposal to amend the information 
collection request 1245-0003, published on May 20, 2015 (80 FR 29096), 
must be submitted to the office listed in the addresses section below 
on or before August 19, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Andrew R. Davis, Chief of the Division of Interpretations 
and Standards, Office of Labor-Management Standards, U.S. Department of 
Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Room N-5609, Washington, DC 20210, 
[email protected], (202) 693-0123 (this is not a toll-free number), 
(800) 877-8339 (TTY/TDD).
    Please use only one method of transmission (mail or submission via 
www.regulations.gov using RIN: 1245-AA06) to submit comments or to 
request a copy of this information collection and its supporting 
documentation; including a description of the likely respondents,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of May 20, 2015 (80 
FR 29096), the Department sought public comments on the proposal to 
amend Labor Organization and Auxiliary Reports information collections 
approved under OMB Control Number 1245-0003, specifically the Form LM-3 
and LM-4 instructions, to require mandatory electronic filing of these 
reports, as well as modify the Form LM-2 hardship exemption process to 
correspond with that proposed for the Form LM-3 and LM-4 reports, which 
would only permit temporary hardship exemption submissions, not 
continuing. As stated in the notice, the Department believes that 
reasonable changes must be made to the means by which the forms 
required under the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act 
(LMRDA) Title II are filed. The most efficient way to provide 
meaningful access to this information by interested members of the 
public is to require that the reports filed by small and medium-sized 
labor organizations be filed in electronic form. This change will 
benefit the filers, union members, and the public, as well as the 
Department.
    Interested persons were invited to submit comments on or before 
July 20, 2015, 60 days after the publication of the original notice. A 
public commenter has requested a 30-day extension of time to submit 
comments. In response to these requests, the Department has decided to 
extend the comment period for an additional 30 days. Comments on the 
proposed information collection must be received on or before August 
19, 2015. An extension of this duration is appropriate, because it will 
afford parties a meaningful opportunity to submit comments on the 
proposal without unduly delaying final action on the proposed 
regulation.

    Dated: July 15, 2015.

Chief, Division of Interpretations and Standards, Office of Labor-
Management Standards.
