SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the 
Construction Compliance Check Letters information collection. OFCCP 
will conduct compliance checks of construction contractors. The 
compliance check is an investigative method to help contractors comply 
with OFCCP's Affirmative Action Program (AAP) and recordkeeping 
requirements. An annual AAP is fundamental to maintaining an active 
system capable of providing ongoing equal employment opportunity 
through affirmative action and ensuring nondiscrimination.
    This proposed 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, under the PRA, 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 if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
information, see the related notice published in the

    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,

consideration, comments should mention OMB ICR Reference Number 201910-
1250-002. 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

automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
