SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Workforce Investment Act of 1998
(WIA), Public Law 105–220 provides the
framework for a network of State
workforce investment systems designed
to meet the needs of the nation’s
businesses, job seekers, youth, and those
who want to further their careers. Title
I requires that States develop five-year
strategic plans for this system, which
must also contain the detail plans
required under the Wagner-Peyser Act
(29 U.S.C. 49g). Plan modifications to
the WIA title I and Wagner-Peyser Act
are required by regulations 20 CFR
661.230.
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 1205–0398. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
November 30, 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.
New requirements would only become
effective after OMB approval. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register
on July 19, 2011 (76 FR 42735).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1205–

0398. The OMB is particularly
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
collected; and
• 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 submission of
responses.
Agency: Employment and Training
