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.
