This information collection implements
the requirements of Executive Order 13495, Nondisplacement of
Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts. The Excutive Order
generally requires Federal service contracts and their
solicitations to include a clause requiring the successor
contractor, and its subcontractors, under a contract that succeeds
a contract for performance of the same or similar services at the
same location, to offer suitable employment (i.e., positions for
which the employees are qualified) on the contract to those
predecessor employees whose employment will be terminated as a
result of the award of the successor contract.

The DOL has proposed
regulations to implement E.O. 13495. Those regulations will require
the DOL to engage in collecting information in order to ensure
workers receive the job offers required by the E.O. and document
compliance. Burden totals from the prior clearance under OMB
control number 1215-0190 (ICR Reference No. 200105-1215-004) were
based on E.O. 12933 that covered only solicitations and building
service contracts for public buildings. Burden totals reported in
this submission are based on E.O. 13495, which covers all service
contracts over $100,000, with few exceptions. Inflation accounts
for higher hourly rates for workers. This information collection
control number was discontinued in 2001, when the DOL withdrew the
underlying regulations. See 66 Fed. Reg. 16126. Due to the fact
that these actions predated the institution of the OMB Form 83-D
("Discontinuance Request"), the documentation submitted by the DOL
to accomplish the discontinuance was an OMB Form 83-C
(nonsubstantive change to a currently approved collection) and,
therefore, the collection of information was allowed to expire. See
ICR Reference No: 200105-1215-004. The ROCIS system now interprets
the reinstatement of the ICR and the burden totals associated with
the revised version of those regulations as a potential violation
of the PRA. However, as noted herein above, the collection was
intentionally allowed to expire.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
