The Secretary of Labor, EVE, and EPIC Awards are being utilized in recognition of outstanding Federal contractors and non-profit Public Interest organizations with EEO and Nondiscrimination programs that support OFCCP's mission. The Secretary of Labor’s Opportunity Award shall be presented by the Secretary of Labor to one contractor each year that has established and instituted comprehensive workforce strategies to practice affirmative action and ensure equal employment opportunity. The EVE Award shall be presented by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Federal Contract Compliance (DAS) to those contractors that have demonstrated through program activities, exemplary and innovative efforts to create an inclusive American workforce. For the purpose of this Award, the term “Federal contractor” includes federally-assisted construction contractors and subcontractors. The EPIC Award shall be presented by the DAS to selected public interest organizations that have supported equal opportunity and linked their efforts with those of Federal contractors to enhance employment opportunities for those with the least opportunity to join the workforce. Through these exemplary efforts, these organizations help to ensure that all Americans enjoy their rightful place in the workforce. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95), OFCCP submitted for public comment a proposed Information Collection notice regarding OFCCP’s Exemplary Voluntary Effort (EVE), Exemplary Public Interest Contribution (EPIC), and the Secretary of Labor’s Opportunity Award. (See Federal Register of June 7, 2006, Vol. 71, No. 109). The Federal Register Notice comment period ended on August 7, 2006. During the comment period, OFCCP received one comment. The commenter recommends that OFCCP either eliminate or reduce the cost of the overall program.

We are requesting OMB approval of 4,460 hours in recordkeeping and reporting burden. The present clearance contains approval of 37,280 hours. The new estimate represents an adjustment in the burden hour net decrease of -32,820 hours. The decrease in burden hours is attributed to a reduction of the number of nominations from the current 80 respondents to 39 respondents received during CY 2005.
