SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Chief Evaluation Office of the U.S. Department of Labor is designing and implementing a data lake that will safely promote and expand restricted-use DOL data access to facilitate timely, accurate, and informative analysis, research, and program evaluation. In brief, the project involves: (1) developing a data-sharing infrastructure named Secure Transfer, Research-Use Data Lake (STRUDL); (2) supporting, onboarding, and training of approved STRUDL users for their research; and (3) providing privacy and statistical expertise to evaluate and ensure that research products from STRUDL are protected against disclosure risks and are publicly released in a timely manner. CEO has changed the proposed name of this information collection from “Department of Labor's Restricted Use Data Access program” to the “Secure Transfer, Research-Use Data Lake” in this submission to OMB. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notices published in the Federal Register on August 24, 2023 (89 FR 57975) and September 25, 2024 (89 FR 78337).
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. See5 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.
