SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure requested data can be provided
in the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
The Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (29 U.S.C. 3101)
authorizes this information collection.
President Barack Obama signed the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act (WIOA) into law on July 22, 2014.
One of the many goals of WIOA is to
develop more consistent instruments for
collecting data related to the
Department’s job training programs. The
Joint Quarterly Narrative Progress
Report Template consolidates various
instruments to collect qualitative data
generated by several programs
legislatively mandated by WIOA, as
well as additional job training programs
that are adopting the performance
reporting provisions of WIOA to
promote alignment across the workforce
system. Qualitative data include a
particular grantee’s progress and
milestones during a grant’s period of
performance and follow-up period,
challenges to meeting a grant’s expected
outcomes, and tracking of grant
management and performance
indicators during the life of the grant.
The National Farmworkers Job
Program and YouthBuild grants are
authorized under the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:42 Dec 15, 2016
Jkt 241001
(WIOA), which identified performance
accountability requirements for these
grants. The WIOA performance
indicators and reporting requirements
also apply to the Dislocated Worker
Grants program. While H–1B and
Reentry Employment Opportunities
grants are not authorized under WIOA,
these programs are also adopting the
WIOA performance indicators and align
with WIOA data element definitions
and reporting templates to promote
consistency across these DOL-funded
programs. For this same reason, the
Senior Community Service Employment
Program, authorized under the Older
Americans Act, as amended, is also
adopting this Joint Quarterly Narrative
Performance Report.
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.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Number 1205–0NEW.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the Internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL 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
PO 00000

• 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.
