Jkt 241001
Background: The WIAC is an
important component of the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (Pub.
L. 113–128), which amends section 15
of the Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933 (29
U.S.C. 491–2). The WIAC is a Federal
Advisory Committee of workforce and
labor market information experts
representing a broad range of national,
State, and local data and information
users and producers. The purpose of the
WIAC is to provide recommendations to
the Secretary of Labor, working jointly
through the Assistant Secretary for
Employment and Training and the
Commissioner of Labor Statistics, to
address: (1) The evaluation and
improvement of the nationwide
workforce and labor market information
(WLMI) system and statewide systems
that comprise the nationwide system;
and (2) how the Department and the
States will cooperate in the management
of those systems. These systems include
programs to produce employmentrelated statistics and State and local
workforce and labor market information.
The Department of Labor anticipates
the WIAC will accomplish its objectives
by: (1) Studying workforce and labor
market information issues; (2) seeking
and sharing information on innovative
approaches, new technologies, and data
to inform employment, skills training,
and workforce and economic
development decision making and
policy; and (3) advising the Secretary on
how the workforce and labor market
information system can best support
workforce development, planning, and
program development. Additional
information is available at
www.doleta.gov/wioa/wiac/.
Purpose: The WIAC is currently in the
process of identifying and reviewing
issues and aspects of the WLMI system
and statewide systems that comprise the
nationwide system and how the
Department and the States will
cooperate in the management of those
systems. As part of this process, the
Advisory Council meets to gather
information and to engage in
deliberative and planning activities to
facilitate the development and provision
of its recommendations to the Secretary
in a timely manner.
Agenda: Beginning at 8:30 a.m. on
June 21, 2017, the Advisory Council
will briefly review the minutes of the
previous meeting held February 8, 2017.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with
applicable supporting documentation;
including a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of
response, and estimated total burden
may be obtained free by contacting
David King by telephone at 202–693–

not toll-free numbers) or by email at

Submit written comments about, or
requests for a copy of, this ICR by mail

DATES:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
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.
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act sections 410
and 423 provide for assistance to
eligible individuals who are
unemployed due to a major disaster.
State Workforce Agencies through
individual agreements with the
Secretary of Labor, act as agents of the
Federal government in providing
Disaster Unemployment Assistance
(DUA) to eligible applicants who are
unemployed as a result of a major
disaster. The ETA 902 Report, Disaster
Unemployment Assistance Activities, is
a monthly report submitted by an
impacted state when a major disaster is
declared by the President that provides
for individual assistance (including
DUA). The report contains data on DUA
claims and payment activities
associated with administering the DUA
program. The information is used by
ETA’s Office of Unemployment
Insurance (OUI) to determine workload
counts, for example, the number of
individuals determined eligible or
ineligible for DUA, the number of

appeals filed, and the number of
overpayments issued. The report also
allows OUI to track states’
administrative costs for the DUA
program.
Social Security Act section 303(a)(6)
authorizes this information collection.
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 Control Number 1205–
0051.
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
• 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.
