This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker (MSFW) Monitoring Report and OneStop Career Center Complaint/Referral Record information collection that includes forms developed pursuant to regulations 20 CFR parts 651, 653, and 658. Form ETA–5148, Services to Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers Report, collects data that monitors and measures how a State Workforce Agency delivers services to MSFWs. Form ETA– 8429, One-Stop Career Center Compliance Referral Record, collects and documents complaints. Wagner Peyser Act section 10(c)(1) authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 49i(c)(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 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 1205–0039. 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 October 31, 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 November 4, 2014 (79 FR 65425).
