Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 10, 2005 / Notices
This revision to the MSFW program
reporting system identifies a minimum
level of information collection that is
necessary to comply with Equal
Opportunity requirements, holds
grantees appropriately accountable for
the Federal funds they receive, assesses
progress against a set of common
performance measures, and allows the
Department to fulfill its oversight and
management responsibilities.
The Employment and Training
Administration is proposing similar
changes to the reporting requirements
for the WIA Title 1B, Wagner-Peyser
Act, and Trade Adjustment Assistance
programs. Please note that ETA will
seek comments regarding changes to
information collection for these
programs in separate Federal Register
notices.
The following three adult common
performance measures apply to grantees
of the MSFW program:
• Entered Employment.
• Employment Retention.
• Six Months Earnings Increase.
Grantees are currently required to
submit data according to measures
established under the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA),
which include entered employment,
retention, and earnings increase. While
the GPRA measures for the MSFW
program are similar to the common
measures, the data elements that are
needed to do the calculations are
slightly different, requiring
modifications to the definitions and
record layout of the WIASPR. Important
changes to note on the WIASPR include
the following:
• Elimination of all fields that collect
information on youth served by the
MSFW program due to recent budgetary
actions.
• Elimination of data collection fields
associated with the current MSFW
performance standards system to
incorporate data for calculating common
performance measures.
• A change in the field that tracks the
reason the participant exited the MSFW
program, because participants who
exited due to certain reasons, such as
becoming institutionalized, are
excluded from calculations of common
measures.
• Addition of three fields to track
whether the participant was employed
in the first, second, and third quarters
after program exit, which are used to
calculate the common measures.
• Addition of fields to capture wages
earned by the participant in the 1st
quarter after program exit and over a
six-month period covering the 2nd and
3rd quarters after program exit to
calculate the earnings increase measure.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Department is soliciting
comments concerning the revised
information collection request for the
MSFW program in order to:
• 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;
• 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;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
Total
respondents
Form/activity
Frequency
• 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 submissions
of responses.
A copy of the proposed ICR can be
obtained by contacting the office listed
above in the addressee section of this
notice.

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 on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment Standards Administration
is soliciting comments concerning the
proposed collection: Requirements of a
Bona Fide Thrift or Savings Plan (29
CFR part 547) and Requirements of a
Bona Fide Profit-Sharing Plan or Trust
(29 CFR part 549). A copy of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 7(e)(3)(b) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act permits the exclusion
from an employee’s regular rate of pay,
payments on behalf of an employee to

29 CFR Parts 547 and 549 set forth the
requirements for a ‘‘bona fide’’ thrift or
savings plan, profit-sharing plan or
trust. The maintenance of the records
required by the regulations enables the
Department of Labor (DOL) investigators
to determine whether a given thrift or
savings plan, profit-sharing plan or
trust, is in compliance with Section
7(e)(3)(b) of the FLSA. Without these
records, such a determination could not
be made. This information collection is
currently approved for use through
March 31, 2006.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
