SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR covers the recordkeeping and 
reporting system for the Indian and Native Americans funded grants and 
has three constituent information collections: (1) A quarterly 
Comprehensive Services Program report (Form ETA-9084), (2) a 
Standardized Participant Information Record, and (3) a quarterly 
Supplemental Youth Services Program Report (Form ETA-9085). These three 
information collections are the basis of the performance standards 
system for Workforce Investment Act section 166 grantees.
    The ETA is revising this ICR in the following manner. Form ETA 9084 
will now capture the number of eligible veterans and spouses served 
(with the addition of two data fields). The DOL notes that Form ETA-
9085 has already been recording this information and will not be 
changed. In addition, Form ETA-9085 information will now be collected 
on the number of eligible youth between the ages of 14-21 years, rather 
than ages 14-24, which was allowed under the American Reinvestment and 
Recovery Act of 2009 (ARRA). Form ETA-9085 adds a credential attainment 
measure. Finally, Form-ETA 9085 data will revert to being collected 
quarterly, rather than monthly, as was the case prior to ARRA 
requirements. For additional substantive information about this ICR, 
see the related notice published in the Federal Register on March 28, 
2013 (78 FR 19018).
    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 that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1205-0422. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on May 31, 2013; 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 information 
collection requirements will only take effect upon OMB approval.
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section by July 1, 2013. In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 
1205-0422. 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.
