SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts 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.
WIOA authorizes the collection of information from Job Corps
applicants to determine eligibility for the Job Corps program. 29
U.S.C. 3194-3195. Applicant and student data is maintained in
accordance with the Department's Privacy Act System of Records Notice
DOL/GOVT-2 Job Corps Student Records authorizes this information
collection. Applicant and student data are maintained in accordance
with the Department of Labor's (Department) Privacy Act System of
Records Notice (SORN) DOL/GOVT-2 Job Corps Student Records. The
estimated number of respondents has been adjusted to reflect current
enrollment levels. While the required on-board strength remains
unchanged, the program has not fully regained its typical enrollment
following the pandemic, and a temporary pause on background checks
further delayed new enrollments. These factors combined to limit the
number of participants eligible for the allotment, resulting in fewer
respondents for this collection.
In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the Department is seeking approval
for data collection to obtain necessary information from Job Corps
students with dependents if they wish to make an allocation for their
beneficiary. The ETA 658--Allotment Request Data Entry Screen is the
form used in this collection and is used by students to request
allotments for dependent
[[Page 5957]]
children in accordance with Job Corps regulations and policies. There
have been no revisions to this data collection form.
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 for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number
1205-0030.
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).
