SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HIRE Vets Medallion Program is a 
voluntary employer recognition program administered by the Department 
of Labor--Veteran's Employment and Training Service (VETS). Through the 
HIRE Vets Medallion Program, VETS will solicit voluntary applications 
from employers for an award called the HIRE Vets Medallion Award. These 
awards are intended to recognize employer efforts to recruit, employ, 
and retain our Nation's veterans. All employers who employ at least one 
employee are eligible to apply for the Award.
    This information collection is subject to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (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.
    The DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an Information Collection Review 
cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes 
that currently approved information collection requirements submitted 
to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo 
review.
