publishing quarterly census totals of
local establishment counts,
employment, and wages. The Bureau of
Economic Analysis uses the data to
produce accurate personal income data
in a timely matter for the U.S., States,

critical to the Employment Training
Administration to administer

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
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 if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB control number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The
DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1220–0012. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
July 31, 2011; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
For additional information, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on March 22, 2011 (76 FR
15999).
Interested parties are encouraged to

interested in comments that:
• 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

Act. The DOL regulations implementing
the Equal Access to Justice Act contain
a subpart that specifies the contents of
applications of an award. 29 CFR part

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Paperwork Reduction Act notice
published on August 13, 2008 [73 FR
47246], OMB directed Federal agencies
to transition their grant and cooperative
agreement recipients from using the
Standard Forms 269, 269A, 272, and
272A to using the Standard Form (SF)
425, Federal Financial Report and
Standard Form 425A, Federal Financial
Report Attachment by no later than
October 1, 2009. With this first renewal
cycle for the SF–425 and SF–425A, the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) invites the general public and
Federal agencies to comment on the
renewal without change of the Standard
Form 425, Federal Financial Report and
the SF–425A, Federal Financial Report
Attachment, which are posted at

grants_forms. We are particularly
interested in feedback on (1) How the
SF–425 and SF–425A are an
improvement over the data collections
they replaced (SF–269, SF–269A, SF–
272, and SF–272A); (2) how using a
specification for a data exchange or
other data model instead of structured
forms could facilitate the submission
and collection of the financial data
identified in the SF–425 and SF–425A;
and (3) any proposals, use cases,
specifications, or models for eliminating
redundancies in reporting grant
financial information and increasing its
usefulness regardless of how the
