(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are invited.

receives on or before November 5, 2024.

this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection is necessary as
DOL is required by the USMCA Implementation Act to establish and
monitor a web-based hotline as an information collection system. This
USMCA web-based hotline serves as an electronic portal to collect and
receive confidential information regarding labor issues among USMCA
countries directly from interested parties, including Mexican workers.
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) 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; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) 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.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Agency: DOL-ILAB.
Title of Collection: United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)
Web-based Hotline.
OMB Number: 1255-0001.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Number of Respondents: 2,317.
Number of Responses: 2,317.
Annual Burden Hours: 555 hours.
Annual Respondent or Recordkeeper Cost: $0.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).

Deputy Undersecretary for International Affairs, U.S. Department of
Labor/Bureau of International Labor Affairs.
