SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a
federal tax credit available to employers that hire individuals from
certain targeted groups who have consistently faced significant
barriers to employment. WOTC is authorized under section 51 and section
3111(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. WOTC is
authorized until December 31, 2025, under Sec. 113 of Division EE,
Title 3--Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260). The
information collection consists of WOTC processing forms which are used
for program administration and reporting program outcomes. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register on November 17, 2022 (87 FR
69048).
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

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.
