    The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
    * Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    * Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    * Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    * Minimize the burden of the collection of information 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.
    Agency: Employment Standards Administration, Office of Federal 
Contract Compliance Programs.
    Title: Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements--Supply and 
Service.
    OMB Number: 1215-0072.
    Frequency: As requested.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit 
institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 88,797.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 163.83 hours.
    Total Burden Hours: 14,547,229.
    Total Annualized capital/startup costs: 0.
    Total annual costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing 
services): 0.
    Description: This final rule makes three general types of revisions 
to the current regulations implementing section 503 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. First, the regulations' nondiscrimination 
provisions generally are conformed to the regulations published by the 
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission implementing Title I of the 
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Second, the regulations 
incorporate recent statutory amendments to section 503. Third, the 
regulations are revised to strengthen and clarify various existing 
provisions relating to affirmative action for qualified individuals 
with disabilities, record retention, enforcement and other issues.
    The interim rule published concurrent with this final rule modifies 
the OFCCP regulation requiring Government contractors to invite job 
applicants to inform the contractor whether the applicant believes that 
he or she may be covered by the affirmative action provisions of the 
Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, and wishes 
to benefit under the contractor's affirmative action program. These 
changes are substantively identical to OFCCP's revision to the rule 
requiring invitations to self-identify under section 503 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
