SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Defense Authorization Act 
(NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. 111-84, enacted October 28, 2009) 
requires an expanded effort to recruit U.S. and other eligible workers 
for employment on Guam military base realignment construction projects. 
This reporting structure features electronic posting of construction 
job opportunities on an Internet job banks site with national coverage, 
posting job opportunities on several state workforce agency job banks, 
and documentation of worker recruitment results reports that will be 
submitted to the Guam Department of Labor (GDOL). All data collection 
and reporting will be done by military base construction contractors, 
and the data and recruitment results in a report that will be submitted 
to the GDOL. These recruitment requirements will help fulfill the 
responsibilities assigned to the Secretary of Labor in the provisions 
of the NDAA of 2010 and will increase employment opportunities for U.S. 
construction workers.
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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 if the 
collection of information does not display a valid OMB Control Number. 
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this 
information collection under OMB Control Number 1205-0484. The current 
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2012; however, it 
should be noted that existing information collection requirements 
submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they 
undergo review. For additional information, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2012 (77 FR 2569).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within 30 days of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should reference OMB Control Number 1205-0484. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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.
