SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 21, 2025, President Donald Trump 
issued Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and 
Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity (E.O. 14173), which revoked E.O. 
11246. Therefore, applicants and employees of Federal contractors and 
subcontractors, authorized representatives, or third parties may file 
complaints of employment discrimination with OFCCP pursuant to Section 
503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended and the Vietnam Era 
Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, but may no 
longer file complaints with OFCCP pursuant to E.O. 11246. OFCCP is 
requesting approval to revise questions on its complaint and pre-
complaint inquiry forms to align with E.O. 14173. Following the 
revocation of E.O. 11246, OFCCP sought emergency approval from the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to remove the items related to 
E.O. 11246 from the forms. OMB approved OFCCP's request on July 2, 
2025. On July 7, 2025, OFCCP also published a 60-day Federal Register 
notice seeking comments from the public on the updated forms and 
information collection request. OFCCP is now issuing the 30-day notice 
and supporting statement, which responds to the public comments. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on July, 7 2025 (90 FR 29892).
    Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information 
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and 
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    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 the OMB approves it 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 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
    Agency: DOL-OFCCP.
    Title of Collection: Complaint Involving Employment Discrimination 
by a Federal Contractor or Subcontractor.
    OMB Control Number: 1250-0002.
    Affected Public: Individual Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,718.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 1,718.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 505 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $1,081.
