reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, conducts a preclearance
consultation program to provide the
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program
helps ensure that 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 on
respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, ETA is soliciting comments
concerning extension of approval for the
collection of applicant data for the
Veterans’ Retraining Assistance Program
(VRAP), which is part of the VOW to
Hire Heroes Act of 2011 (Pub. L. 112–
56). VRAP is a new training program for
eligible veterans, funded by the
Veterans’ Administration. To determine
eligibility, the Act directs ETA to collect
the following information from veteran
applicants: Age, employment status,
status in a Federal or state job training
program within 180 days of the
application, and date of application.
This information collection follows an
emergency review that was conducted
in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 and 5 CFR
1320.13. OMB approved the emergency
request on April 11, 2012. A copy of the
proposed information collection request
(ICR) can be obtained by contacting the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
ETA seeks a regular extension of
OMB’s approval to collect individual
applicant data for the Veterans
Retraining Assistance Program (VRAP)
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
as part of the VOW to Hire Heroes Act
of 2011 (Pub. L. 112–56), enacted
November 21, 2011. The Act directs the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), in
cooperation with the DOL, to pay for up
to 12 months of a training program in
a high demand occupation for
unemployed eligible veterans. The
program is to serve up to 45,000
veterans in Fiscal Year (FY) 2012,
beginning July 1, 2012, and up to 54,000
veterans from October 1, 2012, through
March 31, 2014.
The VRAP provides the benefit to
veterans who fulfill the following
eligibility criteria: As of date of
application, is at least 35 years old and
less than 60; discharged from active
duty under conditions other than
dishonorable; is unemployed as of date
of application; is not eligible to receive
other educational assistance from the
VA; is not in receipt of compensation
for a service-connected disability rated
totally disabling by reason of
unemployability; was not and is not
enrolled in any Federal or state job
training program within the previous
180 days; and, the application must be
submitted not later than October 1,
2013.
The VA is responsible for determining
the following eligibility criteria:
Discharged from active duty under
conditions other than dishonorable; is
not eligible to receive other educational
assistance from the VA; is not in receipt
of compensation for a service-connected
disability rated totally disabling by
reason of unemployability. The VA will
be collecting information required for
their eligibility criteria through the
‘‘Application for VA Educational
Benefits’’ (OMB Control Number 2900–
0154, VA Form 22–1990). The DOL is
required to determine whether each
veteran applying for the program is
between 35 and 60 years old, is
unemployed as of the date of the
application, has not and is not enrolled
in a Federal or state job training
program within 180 days of the
application, and has applied for the
program no later than October 1, 2013.
The DOL is proposing to determine its
eligibility requirements by collecting
individual applicant data. The data will
be linked to the VA’s Veterans On-Line
Application (VONAPP, VA Form 22–
1990) to complete the application. The
VA will transmit reports to the DOL
about the completion status of the
veterans, so that the DOL can make
contact with the veteran to offer
employment services.
II. Review Focus
The Department is particularly
interested in comments which:
