Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs 
Construction Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Labor.

ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting the Office of 
Federal Contract Compliance Programs sponsored information collection 
request (ICR) revision titled, ``Office of Federal Contract Compliance 
Programs Construction Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements,'' to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval for 
use in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. 
Public comments on the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives 
on or before May 10, 2018.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation; 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free of charge 
from the RegInfo.gov website at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201801-1250-001 or by contacting Michel Smyth by 
telephone at 202-693-4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are not toll-free 
numbers) or sending an email to [email protected].
    Submit comments about this request by mail to the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for DOL-
OFCCP, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW, 
Washington, DC 20503; by Fax: 202-395-5806 (this is not a toll-free 
number); or by email: [email protected]. Commenters are 
encouraged, but not required, to send a courtesy copy of any comments 
by mail or courier to the U.S. Department of Labor-OASAM, Office of the 
Chief Information Officer, Attn: Departmental Information Compliance 
Management Program, Room N1301, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, 
DC 20210; or by email: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michel Smyth by telephone at 202-693-
4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are not toll-free numbers) or sending an 
email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) 
Construction Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements information 
collection that covers recordkeeping, reporting, and third-party 
disclosure requirements. The OFCCP administers several Executive Orders 
that prohibit employment discrimination and require covered Federal 
contractors to take affirmative action to ensure that equal employment 
opportunities are available regardless of race, sex, color, national 
origin, religion, or status as an individual with a disability or 
protected veteran. Recordkeeping and reporting by Federal and Federally 
assisted construction contractors and subcontractors is necessary to 
substantiate their compliance with nondiscrimination and affirmative 
action contractual obligations. This information collection has been 
classified as a revision for two reasons. First, the agency proposes to 
add a new form for the reporting requirement found at 41 CFR 60-4.2, 
which requires contracting officers, applicants, and contractors to 
submit written notifications to the OFCCP informing the agency of new 
contract awards that

[[Page 15408]]

exceed $10,000. Written notices are currently submitted to the OFCCP by 
fax, mail, or email; however, the new form will allow respondents to 
submit the notifications on the agency's website through the proposed 
Notification of Construction Contract Award Portal. In addition, this 
ICR would incorporate information collections that are currently 
approved under the ICRs titled ``Government Contractors, Prohibitions 
Against Pay Secrecy Policies and Actions'' (Control Number 1250-0008) 
and ``Prohibiting Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender 
Identity by Contractors and Subcontractors'' (Control Number 1250-
0009). The merger of the collections will place related equal 
employment requirements for covered Federal construction contractors 
under master clearances.
    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 1250-0001. The DOL notes that existing information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month 
extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take 
effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about 
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on 
September 25, 2017 (82 FR 44663).
    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 1250-0001. 
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.
    Agency: DOL-OFCCP.
    Title of Collection: Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs 
Construction Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 1250-0001.
    Affected Public: Private Sector--businesses or other for-profits 
and not-for-profit institutions.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 15,582.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 15,582.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 985,450 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $42,920.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
