Desired Focus of Comments Currently, ETA is soliciting comments concerning the proposed three-year extension (without change) of the WOTC Program and the WtWTC electronic reporting form ETA 9058; administrative forms ETA 9057, 9059, 9061–9063 and 9065; and the following program related documents: January 2006, Revised Third Edition of ETA Handbook No. 408; ‘‘Guidance for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit Program and Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit Allotments Fiscal Year (FY) 2005’’ TEGL; and the Technical Assistance and Review Guide. This request covers the period from June 2006 through June 2009. The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments which: • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 • Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond by including 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 Information Collection Request (ICR) can be obtained by contacting the office listed above in the addressee section of this notice or by accessing this link: https:// www.doleta.gov/Performance/guidance/ OMBControlNumber.cfm. III. Current Actions This is a request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) to extend the collection of information and use of program materials for WOTC and WtWTC. On October 4, 2004, the President signed into law the ‘‘Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004,’’ Public Law 108–311. This law reauthorized the WOTC and WtWTC, without changes, through December 31, 2005. The reauthorization was retroactive to the tax credits’ expiration date of December 31, 2003. OMB authorization for WOTC and WtWTC administrative and electronic reporting forms and other related materials will expire on June 30, 2006. Because Congress reauthorizes these tax credits continuously for periods that range between one and three years, we are requesting a threeyear extension through June 2009, to continue the existing uninterrupted collection of information. Further, the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) of 1998 (Pub. L. 105–277) requires that, when feasible, federal agencies design and implement the use of automated systems that facilitate the electronic signature and filing of forms (by participants) to conduct official business with the public by 2003. The Office of Workforce Investment, Division of Adult Services, complied with this requirement by successfully implementing an electronic reporting system for the tax credits’ program and WOTC and WtWTC quarterly report.
