SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Occupational Code Assignment information collection. 
Information collected on Form ETA-741, Occupational Code Assignment, is 
necessary to help occupational information users relate an occupational 
specialty or job title to an occupational code and title within the 
framework of the Occupational Information Network. The form helps 
provide occupational codes for jobs where duties have changed to the 
extent that the published information is no longer appropriate or the 
user is unable to classify the job on his or her own. This information 
collection has been classified as a revision because of minor revisions 
to the form and because of additional respondents from the American 
Apprenticeship grant competition. Wagner-Peyser Act section 15 
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 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 1205-0137. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on May 31, 2016; 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 December 17, 2015 (80 FR 78769).
    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 1205-0137. 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.
