Application for Use of Public Space by Non-DOL Agencies in the Frances Perkins Building

Consistent with 40 U.S.C. § 581(h)(2), Federal Management Regulation (FMR) Part 102, and the GSA Delegation under which the Department of Labor (DOL) operates the Frances Perkins Building (FPB), DOL allows the use of public space within the FPB for non-commercial purposes. As provided by FMR 102-74, Subpart D, (41 CFR 102-74-460, et seq.) any person or entity that wishes to use public space in a Federal building is required to submit an application for a permit. In order to capture the nature of the request, information such as the requester, description of event, date, time, and approvals are collected in order to review the appropriateness of the request and make a determination of the availability of the requested public space. DOL experience shows that the agency actually receives fewer than 10 non-DOL Agency requests to use FPB public space in any given year; however, as the information is contained in a rule of general applicability, the information collection is deemed to involve 10 or more persons. See 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(4)(ii). DOL, consequently, must maintain PRA authority to conduct this information collection.
