SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL headquarters building, the Frances

Assistant Secretary for

Administration and Management (OASAM). The delegation sets forth 
conditions authorizing the DOL to issue occasional use permits for FPB 
public space. The delegation is also subject to applicable standard 
operating procedures for Government-owned real properties. More 
specifically, the DOL may only issue occasional use permits to 
organizations engaging in cultural, educational, or recreational 
activities. These permits are generally not available for commercial 
purposes. Any person or organization wishing to use a FPB public area 
must file a permit application with the DOL Conference Rooms and 
Services Center. Applicants must submit the following information: (a) 
Applicant's full name, mailing address, and telephone number; (b) 
organization sponsoring the proposed activity; (c) individual(s) 
responsible for supervising the activity; (d) documentation showing the 
applicant is authorized to represent the sponsoring organization; and 
(e) a description of the proposed activity, including dates and times 
during which it is to be conducted and the number of persons to be 
involved. OASAM policies and procedures concerning FPB public space are 
set forth in DOL Manual Series section 2-510 and an application--Form 
DL-1-6062B, Application for Use of Public Space by Non-DOL Agencies in 
the Frances Perkins Building.
    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 Office of Management and 
Budget (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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 
obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control 
Number 1225-0087. The current approval is scheduled to expire on March 
31, 2014; however, the DOL intends to seek continued approval for this 
collection of information for an additional three years.
    The DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce paperwork and 
respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to 
provide the general public and Federal agencies an opportunity to 
comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information before 
submitting them to the OMB for final approval. This program helps to 
ensure requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting 
burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection 
instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection 
requirements can be properly assessed. Interested parties are 
encouraged to provide comments to the contact shown in the ADDRESSES 
section. Comments must be written to receive consideration, and they 
will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval of the 
ICR. Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this 
ICR and posted on the Internet, without redaction. The DOL encourages 
commenters not to include personally identifiable information, 
confidential business data, or other sensitive information in any 
comments.
    The DOL 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.
