SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the
Required Elements for Submission of the Unified or Combined State Plan
and Plan Modifications under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act information collection. This information collection would implement
WIOA sections 102 and 103 that require each State to submit a Unified
State Plan or, in the alternative, a Combined State Plan. See 29 U.S.C.
3112 and 3113. The Unified or Combined State Plan requirements improve
service integration and ensure that the workforce system is industry-
relevant by responding to the economic needs of the State and matching
employers with skilled workers. To that end, the Unified or Combined
State Plan would describe how the State will develop and implement a
unified, integrated service delivery system rather than discuss the
State's approach to operating each core program individually.
This information collection is being cleared under a procedure that
will allow other agencies to use the ICR. In order to ensure total
burdens are correctly captured after all partner agencies have
submitted requests to join in on this ICR, the burdens reflected in
this specific request are only for the DOL share. Subsequent requests
for agencies to join the information collection will not be subject to
public comment, as those actions are considered to be non-material
changes. WIOA sections 102 and 103 authorize this information
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 3112 and 3113.
This proposed 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
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional
information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register
on August 6, 2015 (80 FR 47003).
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 1205-0522.
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,

[[Page 79934]]

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: DOL-ETA.
Title of Collection: Required Elements for Submission of the
Unified or Combined State Plan and Plan Modifications under the
