SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Labor Standards for Federal Service Contracts information 
collection. The WHD administers the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract 
Act (SCA), 41 U.S.C. 6701 et seq. The SCA applies to every contract 
entered into by the United States or the District of Columbia, the 
principal purpose of which is to furnish services to the United States 
through the use of service employees. The SCA requires contractors and 
subcontractors performing services on covered Federal or District of 
Columbia contracts in excess of $2,500 to pay service employees in 
various classes no less than the monetary wage rates and to furnish 
fringe benefits found prevailing in the locality, or the rates 
(including prospective increases) contained in a predecessor 
contractor's collective bargaining agreement. Safety and health 
standards also apply to such contracts. The WHD administers and 
enforces SCA compensation requirements. This ICR is to continue PRA 
authorization the following information collection requirements: (1) 
Vacation Benefit Seniority List, (2) Conformance Record, and (3) 
Submission of Collective Bargaining Agreement. SCA section 2(a) 
authorizes this information collection. See 41 U.S.C. 6703.
    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 1235-0007.
    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 October 31, 2016. 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 March 21, 2016 (81 FR 
15131).
    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 1235-0007. 
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.
