This is a request for a revision to
the Supply and Service ICR in accordance with Executive Order
11246, as amended; Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
as amended; and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance
Act of 1974, as amended, 38 U.S.C. 4212. These mandates prohibit
Federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating on the
basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, disability, or protected veterans’
status. They also prohibit these employers from taking adverse
employment actions against applicants and employees for asking
about, discussing, or sharing information about their pay or, in
certain circumstances, the pay of their co-workers. This ICR seeks
approval of four information collection instruments that notify
contractors that they have been selected to undergo a compliance
evaluation. In particular, OFCCP is seeking reauthorization of the
scheduling letter, the compliance check letter, and the Section 503
focused review letter. OFCCP is seeking approval for a new VEVRAA
focused review letter. These letters are used to schedule Federal
contractors and subcontractors for compliance evaluations.

The overall burden increase is
a result of the increase in the number of contractor
establishments. The increase in the number of contractor
establishments resulted in an increase in the Recordkeeping Burden
and Third Party Disclosure Burden. However, the Reporting Burden
decreased because the number of full compliance reviews decreased.
Instead of only doing full compliance reviews, the agency will
conduct more compliance checks and focused reviews, which carry
less burden.
