SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chief Evaluation Office of DOL seeks
approval of this generic clearance to allow DOL to conduct a variety of
formative data collections. Under this generic clearance, DOL would
engage in a variety of formative data collections with researchers,
practitioners, technical assistance providers, service providers and
potential participants throughout the field to fulfill the following
goals: (1) inform the development of DOL research, (2) maintain a
research agenda that is rigorous and relevant, (3) ensure that research
products are as current as possible and (4) inform the provision of
technical assistance. DOL envisions using a variety of techniques
including semi-structured discussions, focus groups, surveys, and
telephone or in-person interviews in order to reach these goals. The
findings from this data collection can inform and support future and
current research but that are not highly systematic or intended to be
statistically representative or otherwise generalizable. For additional
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2021 (86 FR 13401).
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. See 5 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.
