Abstract:
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is requesting reauthorization of its supply and service (non-construction) program. This information collection request (ICR) outlines the legal authority, procedures, burden, and cost associated with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of supply and service Federal contractors and subcontractors. This ICR also contains the information collection instrument that notifies contractors that they have been selected to undergo a compliance evaluation. OFCCP is seeking reauthorization of the existing instrument approved under this collection: the Supply and Service Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing (collectively referred to as the “scheduling letter”). In addition to seeking the reauthorization of the scheduling letter, this ICR outlines the proposed revisions to the scheduling letter.

Short Statement:
The annual number of responses in the previous ICR was not fully inclusive. 112,007 was the number of respondents in the previous ICR. The number of responses should have been 229,014 to account for the recordkeeping responses, reporting responses, and third-party disclosure responses (like in this reauthorization of the ICR). OFCCP changed the methodology for estimating the number of contractor establishments impacted by the recordkeeping, reporting, and third-party disclosure requirements in this ICR. Previously, OFCCP used a single year of the most recent EEO-1 data and now OFCCP is using a three-year average of the most recent EEO-1 data because it is more representative of the fluctuating number of contractor establishments who meet OFCCP’s jurisdictional thresholds. This explains the decrease in the number of respondents from 112,007 to 104,303. OFCCP increased the time burden for responding to the scheduling letter to account for the proposed new items that have been added to the letter. However, the total annual time burden for the ICR decreased. First, OFCCP changed its methodology to use the average number of compliance reviews completed in the last three years to estimate the number of compliance reviews it expects to complete annually (1,258 in this submission vs. 2,500 in the previous submission). The previous estimate used was double the number of compliance reviews OFCCP actually completed. In addition, as mentioned above, the decrease in the number of contractor establishments also had an impact on the total decrease in annual time burden. The annual cost burden also decreased because of the change in the number of compliance reviews and the number of contractor establishments.
