SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Office 
of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is requesting Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) review and approval of the Monthly 
Employment Utilization Report (CC-257). The proposed CC-257 would 
require covered construction contractors and subcontractors to submit 
monthly reports on their employee count and work hours by race/
ethnicity, gender, and trade in the covered area.
    OFCCP previously collected the CC-257 under OMB control number 
1215-0163 but discontinued the report in 1995. Since that time, DOL 
restructured OFCCP as a stand-alone agency and OMB transferred OFCCP's 
information collections to OMB control numbers that begin with a 
``1250'' agency code. As such, OFCCP is requesting a new ``1250'' OMB 
control number for the CC-257 report. This information collection 
request (ICR) outlines the legal authority, procedures, burden, and 
costs associated with the collection. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on February 26, 2024 (89 FR 14109).
    Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information 
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and 
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    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.
    Agency: DOL-OFCCP.
    Title of Collection: Monthly Employment Utilization Report (CC-
257).
    OMB Control Number: 1250-0NEW.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 9,982.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 119,784.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 179,676 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $23,237.
