Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) (PRA), no persons are
required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The Department notes that a Federal
agency cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it is approved by OMB
under the PRA, and displays a currently valid OMB control number, and the public is not
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. See 44 U.S.C. 3507. Also, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no
person shall be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the
collection of information does not display a currently valid OMB control number. See 44 U.S.C.
3512.
The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average
approximately 15 minutes per respondent. Interested parties are encouraged to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of the Chief
Information Officer, Attention: Departmental Clearance Officer, 200 Constitution Avenue,
N.W., Room N-1301, Washington, DC 20210 or email [email protected] and
