Proposed Extension of Information Collection; Application for Use 
of Public Space by Non-DOL Agencies in the Frances Perkins Building

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and 
Management, Labor.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL), as part of its continuing 
effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-
clearance request for comment to provide the public and Federal 
agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed collections of 
information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 
This request helps to ensure that: 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 on respondents can be properly 
assessed. Currently, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
Administration and Management (OASAM) is soliciting comments on the 
information collection for Application for Use of Public Space by Non-
DOL Agencies in the Frances Perkins Building.

DATES: All comments must be received on or before August 7, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Electronic submission: You may submit comments and 
attachments electronically at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 
online instructions for submitting comments. A copy of this ICR with 
applicable supporting documentation; including a description of the 
likely respondents, proposed frequency of response, and estimated total 
burden may be obtained free by contacting Nora Hernandez by telephone 
at (202) 693-8633 (this is not a toll-free number), or by email at 
[email protected]. Submit written comments about, or requests for 
a copy of, this ICR by mail or courier to the U.S. Department of Labor, 
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    Consistent with 40 U.S.C. 581(h)(2), Federal Management Regulation 
(FMR) part 102, Public Law 102-74, subpart D, and the GSA Delegation 
under which the Department of Labor (DOL) operates the Frances Perkins 
Building (FPB), DOL allows the use of public space within the FPB for 
non-commercial purposes. As provided by FMR 102-74, subpart D, (41 CFR 
102-74-460) any person or entity that wishes to use public space in a 
Federal building is required to submit an application for a permit. To 
capture the nature of the request, information such as the requester, 
description of event, date, time, and approvals are collected in order 
to review the appropriateness of the request and make a determination 
of the availability of the requested public space.
    DOL experience shows that the agency receives fewer than 10 non-DOL 
Agency requests to use FPB public space in any given year; however, as 
the information is contained in a rule of general applicability, the 
information collection is deemed to involve 10 or more persons. See 5 
CFR 1320.3(c)(4)(ii). DOL, consequently, must maintain PRA authority to 
conduct this information collection.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

    OASAM is soliciting comments concerning the proposed information 
collection related to the Application for Use of Public Space by Non-
DOL Agencies in the Frances Perkins Building. OASAM is particularly 
interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, 
including whether the information has practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of OASAM's estimate of the burden 
related to the information collection, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used in the estimate;
     Suggest methods to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the information collection 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.
    Background documents related to this information collection request 
are
