data is provided in the desired format, that the reporting burden (time 
and financial resources) is minimized, that the collection instruments 
are clearly understood, and that the impact of collection requirements 
on respondents is properly assessed. Currently, the Office of Federal 
Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is soliciting comments on its 
proposal to renew the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of 
the construction information collection. A copy of the proposed 
information collection request can be obtained on www.regulations.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    I. Background: OFCCP administers three nondiscrimination and equal 
employment opportunity laws:
     Executive Order 11246, as amended (EO 11246);
     Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 
29 U.S.C. 793 (referred to as Section 503); and
     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 opportunity 
regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender 
identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran 
by Federal contractors and subcontractors (hereafter collectively 
referred to as contractors). Additionally, contractors 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. For purposes of OMB clearance, OFCCP divides its 
responsibilities under these authorities into two categories: (1) 
Construction and (2) non-construction (supply and service). This 
clearance request covers the construction information collection. It 
also merges the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of two 
existing information collections with this ICR. Specifically, the ICR 
entitled ``Prohibiting Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and 
Gender Identity by Contractors and Subcontractors'' that covers 
prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation 
and gender identity,\1\ and the ICR entitled ``Government Contractors, 
Prohibitions Against Pay Secrecy Policies and Actions'' that covers 
prohibitions against pay secrecy policies and actions.\2\ To view the 
current construction information collection, go to https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201406-1250-001.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See OMB Control Number 1250-0009 with an expiration date of 
September 30, 2018.
    \2\ See OMB Control No. 1250-0008 with an expiration date of 
December 31, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    II. Review Focus: DOL 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 renewal of this 
information in order to carry out its responsibility to enforce the 
antidiscrimination and affirmative action provisions of the three legal 
authorities it administers. Comments submitted in response to this 
notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of 
Management and Budget approval of the information collection request; 
they will also become a matter of public record.

Director, Division of Policy and Program Development, Office of Federal 
Contract Compliance Programs.
