SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing effort 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.
DOL seeks approval of a new information collection request (ICR)
titled ``Employment Navigator Data Collection and Matching''. This
request is for a ``common forms'' clearance process. There are three
forms included in this ICR. The first form is a data collection
mechanism for transitioning service members to provide general
characteristics and background information as services are received
from Employment Navigators. The second form includes additional data
that is captured from government and non-government partners who will
provide the service member, veteran, or spouse addition job seeker
assistance after Employment Navigator data entry is complete. This form
also includes any employment-related outcomes (e.g. job placement, job
retention, and hourly wages earned) for each participant. The last form
is a registration and validation form that all necessary partner
entities must complete in order to be considered for partner status.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) authorizes this information
collection. 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
[[Page 88419]]
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should mention OMB 1293-0016.
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
<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).
