SUMMARY: This document extends the period for filing comments on the

Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. RIN 1235-AA13, 
until April 25, 2016. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), and

kept by Employers-Fair Labor Standards Act; OMB Control Number 1235-

Information Collections affected by this Rulemaking and the proposed 
new Information Collection.

DATES: The agency must receive comments on or before April 25, 2016. 
The period for public comments on the Paperwork Reduction Act and 
Information Collections, which was set to close on April 12, 2016, will 
be extended to April 25, 2016. Comments must be received by 11:59 p.m. 
on April 25, 2016. This notice does not extend the comment period on 
the NPRM; comments on the NPRM must still be submitted no later than 
April 12, 2016.

become a matter of public record. They will also be summarized and/or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation 
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an 
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of 
information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA95). 44 U.S.C. 3056(c)(2)(A). This program helps to ensure that 
requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden 
(time and financial

[[Page 19998]]

resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, 
and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be 
properly assessed.
    Currently, the Wage and Hour Division is soliciting comments 
concerning its analysis that the Department's proposed rule, published 
on February 25, 2016 at 81 FR 9592, if finalized as proposed, would 
create a slight paperwork burden associated with ICR 1235-0021 but 
would not create a paperwork burden on the regulated community of the 
information collection provisions contained in ICR 1235-0018. 
Additionally, the Department seeks comments on its analysis that this 
NPRM, if finalized as proposed, would create a new paperwork burden on 
the regulated community as described in the new information collection 
provisions contained in ICR 1235-0NEW. While much of the information 
provided to OMB in support of the information collection request 
appears in the preamble, interested parties may obtain a copy of the 
full supporting statements for ICR 1235-0018, ICR 1235-0021, and ICR 
1235-0NEW by sending a written request to the email address or mail 
address shown in the ADDRESSES section at the beginning of this notice 
or by calling the telephone number listed in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.
