What changed
The DOL is submitting a routine Paperwork Reduction Act renewal request for OMB approval, seeking extension without change of the existing OFCCP Section 503 recordkeeping information collection (OMB #1250-0005). The collection covers requirements under 29 U.S.C. 793 and 41 CFR part 60-741.
Federal contractors already subject to Section 503 obligations should note that no new substantive requirements are being imposed—the ICR estimates existing paperwork burden across approximately 41.6 million individual respondents, representing household-level compliance documentation rather than contractor establishment-level records. Comments on the accuracy of burden estimates and ways to minimize paperwork load are invited.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is seeking an extension without change of a currently approved information collection (OMB #1250-0005). This information collection request (ICR) covers the information collection burden for various requirements under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 793 (Section 503), and its implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60-741. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on August, 25 2025 (90 FR 41415).
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.
