Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) Data Collection Program. The ONET Data Collection Program yields detailed characteristics of occupations and skills for over 900 occupations by obtaining information from job incumbents and occupational specialists on worker and job characteristics to populate the O*NET database that is used for a wide range of purposes related to career counseling and development, curriculum design, human resources functions, and workforce development efforts. The data collection methodology includes contacting businesses and associations to gain their cooperation and collecting information from employees of cooperating businesses and associations as well as occupational specialists. This information collection has been classified as a revision because of an increase in the number of establishment testing units to be contacted each year. The ETA is also proposing to clarify the text on the level of education, to add questions related to professional certifications and jobrelated apprenticeships in the Knowledge Questionnaires and Background Questionnaires, and to revise items on disabilities to make them identical to those used in the American Community Survey in the Background Questionnaires. The agency has also made minor editorial changes to year of birth questions in the questionnaires and to cover materials related to privacy and mailing addresses. Wagner-Peyser Act section 15, as amended by Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act section 308, authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 49l.1. 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 asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:47 Jun 16, 2015 Jkt 235001 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 1205–0421. The current approval is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2015; however, the DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on November 26, 2014 (79 FR 70569).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) Blackout Period 
Notice information collection requirements codified in regulations 26 
CFR 2520.101-3. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 amended ERISA section 
101 to require a plan administrator to furnish affected participants 
and beneficiaries of individual account pension plans with advance 
written notice of any blackout period during which the right to direct 
or diversify investments or obtain a loan or distribution may be 
temporarily suspended. ERISA sections 101(i) and 505 authorize this 
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1021(i), 1135.
    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 1210-0122.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on June 30, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on October 15, 2015 (79 FR 
61903).
    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 thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1210-0122. 
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.
