The DOL
Events Management Platform is a shared
service that allows a DOL agency to
collect registration information in a way
that can be tailored to a particular event.
As the information needed to register for
specific events may vary, this ICR
provides a generic format to obtain any
required PRA authorization from the
OMB. DOL notes that registration
requirements for many events do not
require PRA clearance, because the
information requested is minimal (e.g.
information necessary to identify the
attendee, address). This information
collection, however, is subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). A
Federal agency generally cannot
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information and the public is generally
not required to respond to an
information collection unless the OMB
approves it for use and the agency
displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number. In addition, notwithstanding
any other provisions of law, no person
shall generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a
valid OMB Control Number.
The DOL seeks PRA authorization for
this information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an
Information Collection Review cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal. The DOL notes that currently
approved information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
Agency: DOL–OS.
Title of Collection: Department of
Labor Events Management Platform.
OMB Control Number: 1290–0002.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: 1,600.
Total Estimated Number of
Responses: 3,200.
