SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Civil Rights Center (CRC), located within the Department of
Labor's (DOL or the Department) Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Administration and Management, is responsible for the enforcement of
Section 188 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA),
which contains the Statute's nondiscrimination and equal opportunity
provisions, and its implementing regulations at 29 CFR part 38.
In addition to WIOA, entities receiving any financial assistance
from DOL are subject to four intersecting civil rights laws over which
CRC has enforcement authority:
<bullet> Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
and DOL's implementing regulations at 29 CFR part 32;
<bullet> The Age Discrimination Act of 1972, as amended, and DOL's
implementing regulations at 29 CFR part 35;
<bullet> Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended,
and DOL's implementing regulations at 29 CFR part 36; and,
<bullet> Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and
DOL's implementing regulations at 29 CFR part 31.
The paperwork burdens imposed by 29 CFR parts 38 and the respective
intersecting civil rights laws, as well as other Federal statutory
provisions and regulations, are applicable to entities subject to the
laws enforced by CRC.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
CRC is soliciting comments concerning the proposed information
collection related to the Nondiscrimination Compliance Information
Reporting. CRC 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 CRC'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-CRC located at
