Abstract:
On August 3, 2020, President Trump issued Executive Order 13940, Aligning Federal Contracting and Hiring Practices With the Interests of American Workers (the Order) to create opportunities for United States workers to compete for jobs, including jobs created through Federal contracts. This Order further bolsters a series of executive actions taken to strengthen the Administration’s policy to buy American and hire American. These actions are especially critical to the Nation as we work to boost economic activity.
Emergency Justfication:
Pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) procedures established at 5 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1320, Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public, DOL requests that the proposed information collection project, “Aligning Federal Contracting and Hiring Practices With the Interests of American Workers” be processed as an Emergency Clearance Request in accordance with 5 CFR Part 1320.13 (Emergency Processing). Section 2(a) and (b) of the Order require agencies to review their federal contractors’ use of temporary foreign labor or offshoring practices where contract work is moved from domestic to foreign performance. Section 2(d) of the Order requires agencies to submit a report to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) by December 1, 2020, summarizing the results of these reviews and discussing any planned follow-up actions and recommendations for executive or other action. The Department of Labor cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under the PRA since E.O. 13940 requires agencies to perform the required analysis and report back to OMB with summary results, follow-up actions, and recommendations within 120 days of issuance of the Order, which is December 1, 2020. For these reasons, the Department seeks emergency processing of the “Aligning Federal Contracting and Hiring Practices With the Interests of American Workers” information collection. The Department requests that OMB approve the information collection for use by September 15, 2020 and waive publication of the emergency collection as required under 5 CFR Part 1320.13(d).
