SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Guam Military Base Realignment Contractors Recruitment Standards 
information collection. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 
Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84, enacted October 28, 2009) section 
2834(a) amended Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2009 section 2824(c) to require an expanded effort to recruit U.S. and 
other eligible workers for employment on Guam military base realignment 
construction projects. See Public Law 110-417, Div. B, tit. XXVIII, 
sec. 2824(c)(6) (10 U.S.C. 2687 note), as amended by Public Law 111-84, 
Div. B, tit. XXVIII, sec. 2834(a). This reporting structure features 
electronic posting of construction job opportunities on an Internet job 
banks site with national coverage, posting job opportunities on several 
state workforce agency job banks, and documentation of worker 
recruitment results reports that will be submitted to the Guam 
Department of Labor (GDOL). All data collection and reporting will be 
done by military base construction contractors, and the data and 
recruitment results in a report that will be submitted to the GDOL. 
Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 section 
2824(c)(6) authorizes this information collection. See 10 U.S.C. 2687 
note; Public Law 110-417, Div. B, tit. XXVIII, sec. 2824(c)(6), as 
amended by Public Law 111-84, Div. B, tit. XXVIII, sec. 2834(a).
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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 1205-0484.
    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 September 30, 2015. 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 April 23, 2015 (80 FR 
22743).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1205-0484. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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
     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 submission of responses.
