SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor collects the 
Nondiscrimination Compliance Information Reporting data to help ensure 
a recipient of certain DOL Federal financial assistance programs does 
not discriminate in the administration, management, or operation of 
programs and activities. Activities covered by this information 
collection include:
     A grant applicant providing assurance that the applicant 
is aware of and, as a condition of receipt of Federal financial 
assistance, agrees to comply with the assurance requirements;
     a DOL funds recipient maintaining a record of E.O. 
characteristics data and a log of any E.O. complaints for activities 
under an applicable DOL funded program;
     a person who believes a relevant E.O. requirement may have 
been violated filing a complaint with either the funds recipient or 
with the DOL Civil Rights Center;
     a State periodically filing a plan outlining 
administrative methods the State will use to ensure funds are not used 
in a discriminatory manner; and
     a DOL funds recipient posting required notices.
    The DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an Information Collection Review 
cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes 
that currently approved information collection requirements submitted 
to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo 
review.
