**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
On January 21, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity (E.O. 14173), which revoked E.O. 11246. Therefore, applicants and employees of Federal contractors and subcontractors, authorized representatives, or third parties may file complaints of employment discrimination with OFCCP pursuant to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, but may no longer file complaints with OFCCP pursuant to E.O. 11246. OFCCP is requesting approval to revise questions on its complaint and pre-complaint inquiry forms to align with E.O. 14173. Following the revocation of E.O. 11246, OFCCP sought emergency approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to remove the items related to E.O. 11246 from the forms. OMB approved OFCCP's request on July 2, 2025. On July 7, 2025, OFCCP also published a 60-day *Federal Register* notice seeking comments from the public on the updated forms and information collection request. OFCCP is now issuing the 30-day notice and supporting statement, which responds to the public comments. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the *Federal Register* on July, 7 2025 (90 FR 29892).
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.
