Summary

The Department of Labor's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM) has published a notice requesting public comments on the proposed extension of OMB Control No. 1225-0087, an existing information collection covering applications for non-DOL agencies to use public space in the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, DC. The notice solicits feedback under the Paperwork Reduction Act on the burden estimates and utility of this permit application process. Comments must be received by June 5, 2026.

What changed

The Department of Labor is requesting public comments on extending an existing information collection (OMB Control No. 1225-0087) that covers applications from non-DOL agencies seeking permits to use public space in the Frances Perkins Building for non-commercial purposes. The current collection captures requester information, event descriptions, dates, times, and required approvals as mandated by Federal Management Regulation Part 102-74, Subpart D (41 CFR 102-74-460) and 40 U.S.C. 581(h)(2). This is a routine pre-clearance PRA action with no new requirements being imposed.

No immediate action is required from regulated entities. Federal agencies and other organizations wishing to use public space in the Frances Perkins Building should submit comments by June 5, 2026, if they wish to provide input on the information collection. There is no compliance deadline as this notice does not impose new obligations—it merely seeks to extend an existing paperwork collection. Contact Nora Hernandez at DOLPRAPUBLIC@dol.gov or (202) 693-8633 for copies of the ICR.

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 June 5, 2026.

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 ( printed page 17310) 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 DOLPRAPUBLIC@dol.gov.

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 available at https://regulations.gov and at DOL-OASAM, located at Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, Room N1301, Washington, DC 20210. Questions about the information collection requirements may be directed to the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.
