SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3517 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1980 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3517) requires that the Director of OMB

provide interested persons an early opportunity to comment on an

information collection request. OMB may amend or waive the requirement

for public consultation to the extent that public participation in the

approval process would defeat the purpose of the information

collection, violate State or Federal law, or substantially interfere

with the agency's ability to perform its statutory obligations.

The Director, Office of Information Resources Management Policy,

publishes this notice simultaneously with the submission of this

request to OMB. This notice contains the following information:

Type of Review: Expedited.

Agency: Women's Bureau.

Title: The Working Women Count Honor Roll--Recognizing Employers

and Others Who Value Making Work Better for Women.

Description: The Women's Bureau is establishing a ``Working Women

Count Honor Roll'' to stimulate local action and recognize employers in

both the private and public sector, unions and other local, State and

national organizations who through their own policies and practices are

valuing the work the women do. The Women's Bureau staff and Working

Women Count partners will distribute pledge cards to interested

businesses, labor unions, government officials, media and community

organizations to stimulate interest at the local level. Those

interested in making a pledge will voluntarily return the pledge cards

to the National Office. Once received, the pledge cards will be placed

on the Working Women Count pledges mailing list for additional

information.

Respondents will receive an information kit to further describe the

concerns of customers and tell pledges how they may qualify for

membership on the Working Women Count Honor Roll. The Women's Bureau

will use a self-nomination approach to membership on the Working Women

Count Honor Roll. Interested parties will make a pledge, track their

progress and upon completion of their tasks provide the requested

information according to the information kit.

The Women's Bureau will review nomination forms for completeness

and admit completed projects to the Working Women Count Honor Roll.

Those admitted will receive a letter from the Women's Bureau Director

and a certificate of appreciation from the Secretary of Labor for

accomplishing their Working Women Count pledge.

Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
