The "OFCCP Complaint Form" is approved through October 1989. DOL's justification for lowering the burden estimate for this collection is inadequate, however, and is denied. The Department claims that previo revisions to the form have reduced the burden. After reviewing the previous paperwork submission, however, OMB has determined that these revisions consisted primarily of reformatting the instrument rather th eliminating data elements. Since OMB does not believe that any burden reduction has been achieved by this effort, we have maintained the original burden estimate of 1.16 hours per response. Thus, the total burden estimate for this collection is now 3,727 hours. Of course, DOL may at any time submit a new paperwork package further justifying its original burden estimate.
