This information is used to ensure that Department contractors recruit and retain a workforce in accordance with the terms of their contract and in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements as identified by the contract. Collection of this information is different from collections made of the general public in that this collection is made of Department contractors.

The amount of annual hour burden was reduced by 128.6 hours from the current inventory approved. Respondents only submit information when a new collective bargaining agreement is signed, which occurs only every three to five years. The previous submission erroneously calculated the burden as though information is submitted every year. Additionally, the costs to maintain the Work Force Information System Labor Relations segment and the contract reimbursement costs were not previously reported as a cost to the government.
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.
