DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Joint
Quarterly Narrative Performance Report
ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting this Employment
and Training Administration (ETA)-sponsored information collection
request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review
and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are invited.
DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that the agency
receives on or before May 16, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Howell by telephone at 202-
693-6782, or by email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#41050e0d1e1113001e1114030d080201252e2d6f262e37"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8cc8c3c0d3dcdecdd3dcd9cec0c5cfcce8e3e0a2ebe3fa">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection includes data
validation for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP),
and a streamlined quarterly narrative report template to support the
(1) reporting, (2) recordkeeping, and (3) program evaluation
requirements for the following grant programs: National Dislocated
Worker Grants (DWG), H-1B grant programs (started July 1, 2016 or
later), National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP), Reentry Employment
Opportunities (REO) youth and adult grant programs, SCSEP, and
YouthBuild (YB). This information collection does not increase the
burden on grantees. SCSEP data validation assesses the accuracy of data
collected and reported to ETA on program activities and outcomes. The
accuracy and reliability of program reports submitted by states and
grantees using federal funds are fundamental elements of good public
administration and are necessary tools for maintaining and
demonstrating system integrity. The data validation requirement for
employment and training programs strengthens the workforce system by
ensuring that accurate and reliable information on program activities
and outcomes is available. The WIOA Joint Quarterly Narrative
Performance Report provides a detailed account of program activities,
accomplishments, and progress toward performance outcomes during the
quarter. It also provides information on grant challenges and timeline
progress, as well as the opportunity to share success stories. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register on December 8, 2023 (88 FR
85655).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
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.
