Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request
The Federal Register published a proposed information collection request under the Paperwork Reduction Act, likely related to AI hiring or employment screening. This could impose new recordkeeping or disclosure requirements for businesses using automated employment decision tools (AEDTs).
