SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collections under OMB
Control No. 1293-0005 requires Federal contractors and subcontractors
subject to the Act's affirmative action provisions in 38 U.S.C. 4212(a)
to track and report annually to the Secretary of Labor the number of
employees in their workforces, by job category and hiring location, who
belong to the specified categories of protected veterans. VETS
maintains regulations to implement the reporting requirements under
VEVRAA and uses the VETS-4212 form for providing the required
information on the employment of covered veterans. The regulations in
41 CFR part 61-300 require contractors and subcontractors with a
covered Federal contract entered into or modified in the amount of
$150,000 or more to use the Federal Contractor Veterans' Employment
Report VETS-4212 form for reporting information on their employment of
covered veterans under VEVRAA. For additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal
Register on November 28, 2023 (88 FR 83161).
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) if the information will be processed and used in a timely
manner; (3) 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; (4)
[[Page 18674]]
ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information
collection; and (5) 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.
