🇬🇧 English

The U.S. Department of Labor is soliciting public comments on a proposed extension of an existing information collection request (ICR) related to wage rates and wage determinations established under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The extension seeks to continue collecting data without any changes to the current requirements or reporting structure. This action is part of the Department's ongoing obligations under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), which requires federal agencies to periodically review and justify information collection activities to minimize burden on respondents. The goal is to ensure that businesses and contractors subject to IRA prevailing wage requirements can provide data in an efficient and clearly understood format. The proposed extension does not introduce new obligations — it simply renews the existing approval. Stakeholders who wish to comment on the reporting burden, clarity of the collection instruments, or the overall impact of the requirements are invited to respond to the Department's solicitation.
