SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Survey 
of Working Women to identify women's current employment issues and

[[Page 52341]]

challenges and how these issues and challenges relate to job and career 
decisions, particularly reasons for exiting the workforce. 
Understanding women's perceptions about the workplace and their 
participation in the workforce--as well as their decisions relating to 
the intersection of work and family obligations--will allow the DOL to 
share valuable information and data with employers, advocates, and 
other stakeholders to foster greater collaboration and inform policies 
and practices that meet women's changing needs; and foster greater 
public dialogue on these key issues impacting women in the current 
workforce. The Women's Bureau Authorizing Statute authorizes this 
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 13.
    This proposed 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 if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register 
on February 26, 2015 (80 FR 10516).
    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 ICR Reference Number 201506-
1290-001. 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.
