SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 7, 2015, President Barack Obama
signed Executive Order 13706, ``Establishing Paid Sick Leave for
Federal Contractors.'' The Executive Order directed the Secretary to
issue regulations by September 30, 2016, to the extent permitted by law
and consistent with the requirements of 40 U.S.C. 121, to implement the
Order's requirements. The Final Rule established standards and
procedures for implementing and enforcing the paid sick leave
requirements of Executive Order 13706. Among other requirements, the
regulations at 29 CFR 13 require employers subject to the Order to make
and maintain records for notifications to employees on leave accrual
and requests to use paid sick leave, dates and amounts of paid sick
leave used, written responses to requests to use paid sick leave,
records relating to certification and documentation where an employer
requires this from an employee using at least 3 consecutive days of
leave, tracking of or calculations related to an employee's accrual or
use of paid sick leave, the relevant covered contract, pay and benefits
provided to an employee using leave, and any financial payment for
unused sick leave made to an employee on separation from employment.
For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2022 (87 FR
43059).

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
