Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified no reporting and
recordkeeping non-hour cost burdens
for this collection.
Public Disclosure Statement: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521,
require that interested members of the
public and affected agencies be given an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
(see 5 CFR 1320.8 (d) and 1320.12(a)).
This notice identifies an information
collection that the BOEM plans to
submit to OMB for approval. The
Paperwork Reduction Act provides that
an agency may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: The BOEM will request a
3-year term of approval for this
information collection activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) The need
for the collection of information for the
performance of the functions of the
agency; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s
burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the information collection
burden on respondents, such as use of
automated means of collection of the
information. A summary of the public
comments will accompany our
submission of the information collection
requests to OMB.

Agencies must also estimate the nonhour cost burdens to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. Therefore, if
you have costs to generate, maintain,
and disclose this information, you
should comment and provide your total
capital and startup costs or annual cost
components or annual operation,
maintenance, and purchase of service
components. You should describe the
methods you use to estimate major cost
factors, including system and
technology acquisition, expected useful
life of capital equipment, discount
rate(s), and the period over which you
incur costs. Capital and startup costs
include, among other items, computers
and software you purchase to prepare
for collecting information, monitoring,
and record storage facilities. You should
not include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (a) Before October 1,
1995; (b) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (c) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (d) as part of
customary and usual business or private
practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.

SUMMARY:

The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00086

Sfmt 4703
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the 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.
This collection of information is
necessary to comply with the reporting
requirements of the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA) Section 308 (29 U.S.C. 491–2),
which can be found at https://
www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW113publ128/pdf/PLAW-113publ128.pdf;
and 20 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Parts 651 and 652 (https://
www.doleta.gov/wioa/Docs/wioa-regslabor-final-rule.pdf).
WIOA Section 308 requires the
Secretary of Labor to oversee the
development, maintenance, and
continuous improvement of a
nationwide Workforce and Labor Market
Information System (workforce
information) system; and to evaluate the
performance of the system and
recommend needed improvements,
taking into consideration customer
consultation results, with particular
attention given to improvements needed
at the state, regional and local levels.
The WIGS information collection
ensures the Secretary of Labor meets
WIOA requirements, and the states
complete grant deliverables such as
state economic analyses or special
workforce information/economic
studies, and the annual performance
report.
The ETA makes use of the
information collected from WIGS
grantees primarily to serve four
customer groups: (1) The public
(including job seekers and employers);
(2) labor market intermediaries who
help individuals find a job or make
career decisions (such as employment
and school counselors, case managers at
American Job Centers, and communitybased organizations); (3) policymakers
and employment and economic program
planners and operators; and (4)
miscellaneous other customers,
including researchers, commercial data
providers, and the news media.
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 the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
