SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This request fulfills Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act reporting requirements regarding the collection of
performance indicators described in Sec. 116(b)(2)(A). Requirements for
state level collection of this data for the programs contained in this
collection are based on WIOA requirements. As part of this ICR, the
Department of Labor's (DOL) Employment and Training Administration
(ETA) has made changes to the Participant Individual Record Layout
(ETA-9172), (Program) Performance Report (ETA-9173-APPSHP) to
facilitate State and grantee performance reporting. In particular, as
part of DOL's effort to streamline program performance reporting for
ETA grants with significant apprenticeship components as a primary goal
of the program (Apprenticeship grants), DOL is adding the performance
information collection requirements for Apprenticeship grants. DOL also
is adding a new information collection requirement to this ICR: the
Apprenticeship Outreach: Organization/Employer Record Layout. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2019 (84 FR
29245).
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.
