The regulations implementing Executive
Order 11246 permit Federal supply and service contractors to
develop affirmative action programs (AAPs) that are based on
business functions or business units rather than AAPs based on
establishments. Functional affirmative action programs (FAAPs) are
designed to provide contractors with the option of creating AAPs
that better fit their business needs. To develop and implement a
FAAP, Federal contractors must receive written approval from the
Director of OFCCP. This Information Collection Request (ICR)
addresses the collection of information associated with the process
for obtaining, modifying, updating, and renewing an agreement that
allows contractors to develop and use functional AAPs.

The burden associated with this
information collection request decreased, as there are fewer
contractors requesting new agreements. In addition, the requirement
to modify and update FAAP agreements were combined into one
activity.

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);
