SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR outlines the legal authority, 
procedures, burden, and cost associated with the recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements of construction contractors. It contains one 
form (Construction Contract Award Notification Form) that construction 
contractors must give to OFCCP notifying the agency of new contract 
awards that exceed $10,000 and three information collection instruments 
(compliance review scheduling letter and itemized listing, direct 
federal compliance check letter, and federally assisted compliance 
check letter) that notify construction contractors that they have been 
selected to undergo a compliance evaluation. OFCCP is seeking 
reauthorization of the Construction Contract Award Notification Form 
(Form CC-314). OFCCP is merging the direct federal compliance check 
letter and federally assisted compliance check letter currently 
approved under OMB Control No. 1250-0011 into this ICR. This ICR also 
incorporates the requirements and burden for the new Construction 
Compliance Review Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notices published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2020 (85 FR 
68933) and December 23, 2020 (85 FR 84002).
    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 the OMB 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 that does not display a valid 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
