nondiscrimination and affirmative action contractual
obligations.

Changes and adjustments in the
current request is as follows: Record keeping: The previous
submission in 2011 included 1,324,660 hours for record keeping and
disclosures to subcontractors. The current request is for 618,719
hours. This decrease of 705,941 hours in the burden is due to a
decrease in the number of covered contractors in the universe.
Specifically, OFCCP estimates that its universe decreased by 23,267
Federal construction contractor respondents. Reporting: The
previous submission in 2011 included 1,660 hours for reporting. The
current request is for 132,577 hours, an increase of 130,917 hours.
This increase is related to OFCCP revising its calculation related
to the burden hours associated with contractors complying with the
notification of subcontract awards found at 41 CFR 60-4.2(c). Third
Party Disclosure: The previous submission in 2011 included no hours
for third party disclosures to employees. The current request is
for 52,429 hours. This increase of 52,429 hours is due to
recognition that the third party disclosure is not the same
notification as found in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a)7.f. Operations and
Maintenance Costs Burdens: The last submission did not include
mailing costs that the agency now recognizes. This adjustment in
the estimate reflects an $83,131 increase.
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
