Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of
information before submitting them to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for final approval. This program helps to ensure requested
data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
ETA utilizes the data collection format to assess the effectiveness
of ETA programs and to monitor and analyze the financial activity of
its grantees, while complying with OMB efforts to streamline federal
financial reporting. Grantees are provided with software that reflects
the requirements of ETA Form 9130 so that the required data is reported
electronically, permitting ease of ETA evaluation.
ETA wants to provide clarification to the instructions regarding
the Training Expenditures reporting line item on ETA-9130 forms for the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult, Youth, and
Dislocated Worker programs; the Trade Adjustment Assistance program;
and the Indian and Native American programs. The funds reported in this
line item represent the cumulative amount for training services
provided to program participants.
Financial reporting requirements for federal programs are
prescribed by OMB under the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR 200 et
seq.), otherwise known as the Uniform Guidance. Additionally, with the
passage of WIOA, there are numerous new statutory requirements that
affect financial reporting, including new and/or revised limitations
and baselines that require the addition or modification of existing
ETA-9130 reporting line items.
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 it is approved by OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB control number
1205-0461.
Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this
ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally identifiable information,
confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information
in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in comments that:
<bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
<bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and/or
<bullet> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses).
