This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Leave Supplement to the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) information collection. The leave supplement includes questions about workers’ access to and use of paid and unpaid leave, job flexibility, and their work schedules. Information collected in the supplement will be published as a public use data set to facilitate research on numerous topics, such as: The characteristics of people with paid and unpaid leave; occupations with the greatest and least access to paid leave; reasons workers are able to take leave from their jobs; how many workers have access to job flexibilities such as the ability to work from home or adjust their start and stop times; and the relationship between workers’ time use and their access to job flexibilities. The supplement would survey eligible wage and salary workers aged 15-years and up from a nationally representative sample of approximately 2,060 sample households each month. The BLS Authorizing Statue authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1. 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 July 26, 2016 (81 FR 48850).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) information
collection. The WOTC is a Federal tax credit available to employers for
hiring individuals from certain target groups who have consistently
faced significant barriers to employment. The data collected under this
submission are necessary for effective Federal administration of the
WOTC program, including allowing the ETA and Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) to oversee state administration of the tax credit. This ICR
covers six WOTC processing and administrative program forms: (1) Form
ETA-9058, Report 1--Certification Workload and Characteristics of
Certified Individuals; (2) Form ETA 9061, Individual Characteristics;
(3) Form ETA-9062, Conditional Certification; (4) Form ETA-9063,
Employer Certification; (5) Form ETA-9065, Agency Declaration of
Verification Results Worksheet; and (6) Form ETA-9175, Long-term
Unemployment Recipient Self-Attestation. This information collection
has been classified as a revision, because the ETA has modified two of
the forms. Form ETA-9160 changes would combine certain questions,
clarify instructions by referencing a recent IRS Notice, and update
Empowerment Zone information. Form ETA-9175 updates would remove
questions related to date of birth and Federal Employer Identification
Number. Internal Revenue Code sections 51 and 3111(e) authorize the
WOTC program. See 26 U.S.C. 51 and 3111(e).
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 1205-0371. The current approval is scheduled to
expire on November 30, 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 August 4, 2016 (81 FR 51497).

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

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
