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 Office of
Management and Budget (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.
ETA requires grantees to submit
Quarterly Narrative Progress Reports
with a narrative summary of the
capacity building progress as identified
by the grantee in their project work
plan. Every fourth quarter, grantees
submit an Annual Performance Report
with standardized outcome measures
that will include aggregate data for
program participants for the following
ten outcome measures: Unique
participants served/enrolled; total
number of participants who have
completed a grant-funded program of
study; total number still retained in
their programs of study; total number
retained in other education programs;
total number of credit hours completed;
total number of earned credentials; total
number pursuing further education after
program of study completion; total
number employed after program of
study completion; total number retained
in employment after program of study
completion; and the total number of
those employed at enrollment who
receive a wage increase post-enrollment.
These reports help ETA gauge the
effects of the TAACCCT grants, respond
to inquiries about the progress and
successes of the TAACCCT grants from
Congress and other stakeholders,
identify grantees that could serve as
useful models, target technical
assistance appropriately, and provide
data for the national evaluation of the
TAACCCT grants. ETA is seeking an
extension for the collection of the final
Annual Performance Report and the
final Quarterly Narrative Progress
Report from the fourth and final round
of grants. Section 1872 of the Trade and

5) (19 U.S.C 2372a), as amended by the
Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law
111–152, 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 1205–0489.
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.

the same measure of protection afforded
the miners of such mine by such
standard; or
2. That the application of such
standard to such mine will result in a
diminution of safety to the miners in
such mine.
