SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs
(OFCCP) administers and enforces the three nondiscrimination and equal
employment opportunity laws listed below.
Executive Order 11246, as amended (E.O. 11246).
Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
29 U.S.C. 793 (Section 503).
Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974,
as amended, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA).
Generally, these authorities prohibit employment discrimination and
require 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 by Federal contractors. Additionally,
federal contractors and subcontractors are prohibited from,
discriminating against applicants and employees for asking about,
discussing, or sharing information about their pay or the pay of their
co-workers. This clearance request covers aspects of the EO 11246,
Section 503, and VEVRAA non-construction supply and service program,
particularly the Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing. OFCCP is not
proposing to collect new information with this renewal. Instead, OFCCP
is seeking to clarify the information collection that is the subject of
this renewal. To view this current supply and service information
collection, go to http://www.regulations.gov.
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 which have, or
can reasonably be expected to have, an aggregate total value exceeding
$10,000 in a 12-month period. EO 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 employment discrimination against applicants
and employees because of physical or mental disability and requires
affirmative action to ensure that persons are treated without regard to
disability. Section 503 applies to Federal contractors and
subcontractors with contracts in excess of $15,000. \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ Effective October 1, 2010, the coverage threshold under
Section 503 increased from $10,000 to $15,000, in accordance with
the inflationary adjustment requirements in 41 U.S.C. 1908.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VEVRAA prohibits employment discrimination against protected
veterans and requires affirmative action to ensure that persons are
treated without regard to their status as a protected veteran. VEVRAA
applies to Federal contractors and subcontractors with contracts of
$150,000 or more. \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\2\ Effective October 1, 2015, the coverage threshold under
VEVRAA increased from $100,000 to $150,000, in accordance with the
inflationary adjustment requirements in 41 U.S.C. 1908.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ICR addresses EO 11246, Section 503 and VEVRAA supply and
service program components subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA).
II. Review Focus: The Department of Labor is particularly
interested in comments which:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the compliance and enforcement 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 submissions of responses.
III. Current Actions: DOL seeks the approval of the revision of
this information in order to carry out its responsibility to enforce
the anti-discrimination and affirmative action provisions of the three
legal authorities it administers.

Service.
