SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 221(a) of Title II, Chapter 2 of the
Trade Adjustment Assistance Act (19 U.S.C. 2271 et seq.) authorizes the

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. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
