SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RETAIN Demonstration Projects are a 
collaborative effort led by the DOL's ODEP in partnership with DOL's 
Employment and Training Administration and the Social Security 
Administration. RETAIN--Retaining Employment and Talent after Injury/
Illness Network--projects will test the impact of early intervention 
strategies that improve stay-at-work/return-to-work outcomes of 
individuals who experience work disability while employed. ``Work 
disability'' is defined as an injury, illness, or medical condition 
that has the potential to inhibit or prevent continued employment or 
labor force participation. For additional substantive information about 
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on 
April 14, 2025 (90 FR 15587).
    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.
