These programs are Executive Order 11246, as amended, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistant Act of 1974 (VEVRAA), as amended, (38 USC 4212). This information collection contains all recordkeeping and reporting requirements and forms which are derived from the implementing regulations found in Title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 60, for supply and service contractors. The DEPARTMENT OF LABOR (DOL) is seeking an extension of this information collection in order to substantiate compliance with nondiscrimination and affirmative action requirements monitored by OFCCP. The Department has determined that compliance evaluation fall within the exemption under PRA95. Therefore, these hours have been excluded from this request.
