Abstract
The Department of Labor (DOL), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre- clearance request for comment to provide the public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This request helps to ensure that: requested data can be provided in the desired format; reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized; collection instruments are clearly understood; and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy (OASP) is soliciting comments on an information collection of user registrations to access a public Application Programming Interface providing machine readable subsets of public data generated by DOL programs and activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DOL is developing a new public facing data service consistent with
the requirements of title II of the Foundations for Evidence-Based
Policymaking Act of 2018, the goals described in DOL's Enterprise Data
Strategy, and feedback from a prior public request for information on
how DOL can optimally structure its public data offerings available
through Docket No. DOL-2021-0005 at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
To best ensure that this service will optimally meet current,
evolving, and long range needs among public, private, and Federal data
users, specifically with respect to the kinds of data offered, the
formats of machine readable data made accessible, the software and
services that can connect to the Application programming Interface
(API), and the kinds of documentation provided, DOL anticipates
collecting a limited number of characteristic data elements from
prospective users. These data elements will guide DOL efforts to
provide questions about familiarity with APIs usage, preferred
software, questions about topics of analysis to ensure that our
creation of tutorials, code examples, documentation, and data schema
best reflect the collective needs of our users. The information will
also be used to identify patterns and trends among users to inform
proper administration of the service. DOL will not disclose any
[[Page 39869]]
of the information being collected to the public.
DOL experience shows that the number of applicants to our public
data services will vary considerably but will almost certainly exceed
10 or more persons (ref: 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(4)(ii)), so DOL seeks to
obtain and maintain PRA clearance to conduct this information
collection.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
OASP is soliciting comments concerning an information collection of
user registrations to access a public Application Programming Interface
providing machine readable subsets of public data generated by DOL
programs and activities. OASP is particularly interested in comments
that:
<bullet> Evaluate whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information has practical utility;
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of OASP's estimate of the burden
related to the information collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used in the estimate;
<bullet> Suggest methods to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and
<bullet> Minimize the burden of the information collection 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.
Background documents related to this information collection request
are available at <a href="https://regulations.gov">https://regulations.gov</a> and at DOL-OASP, located at
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Room S2312, 200
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210. Questions about the
information collection requirements may be directed to the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.
III. Current Actions
This information collection request concerns user registrations to
access a public Application Programming Interface providing machine
readable subsets of public data generated by DOL programs and
activities. OASP has estimated the potential impact of this collection
data with respect to the number of respondents, responses, burden
hours, and burden costs supporting this information collection request
from the previous information collection request.
Type of Review: New collection.
Agency: DOL-OASP.
Title of Collection: Registration for Public API.
OMB Number: 1290-0NEW.
Affected Public: Individuals or households, and not-for-profit
institutions.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 200.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 200.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 30 hours.
Estimated Average Hourly Wage of Respondents: $49.76.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Costs: $1,492.80.
Annual Respondent or Recordkeeper Cost: $0.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized in
the request for Office of Management and Budget approval of the
proposed information collection request; they will become a matter of
public record and will be available at <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov">https://www.reginfo.gov</a>.
