Section
711 of the United States-Mexico-Canada
Agreement (USMCA) Implementation
Act prescribes the establishment of an
Interagency Labor Committee for
Monitoring and Enforcement (ILC) and
Section 717 charges the ILC with
establishing a ‘‘web-based hotline’’
monitored by the Department of Labor.
This USMCA web-based hotline serves
as an electronic portal to collect and
receive confidential information
regarding labor issues among USMCA
countries directly from interested
parties, including Mexican workers. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
September 21, 2020 (85 FR 59330).
This information collection is subject
to the 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 and 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.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
Agency: DOL–ILAB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e.,
employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance process to provide the
public with an opportunity to comment
on proposed and continuing
information collection requirements in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures
that information is in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)
authorizes information collection by
employers as necessary or appropriate
for enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
OSHA to obtain such information with
minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Section 7(c)(1) of the OSH Act
authorizes the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) to, ‘‘with the consent of any
State or political subdivision thereof,
accept and use the services, facilities,
and personnel of any agency of such
