General Information
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
The attention of interested persons is
directed to the following:
(1) The fact that a transaction is the
subject of an exemption under section
408(a) of the Act and/or section
4975(c)(2) of the Code does not relieve
a fiduciary or other party in interest or
disqualified person from certain other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including any prohibited transaction
provisions to which the exemption does
not apply and the general fiduciary
responsibility provisions of section 404
of the Act, which, among other things,
require a fiduciary to discharge his
duties respecting the plan solely in the
interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of the plan and in a
prudent fashion in accordance with
section 404(a)(1)(b) of the Act; nor does
it affect the requirement of section
401(a) of the Code that the plan must
operate for the exclusive benefit of the
employees of the employer maintaining
the plan and their beneficiaries;
(2) Before an exemption may be
granted under section 408(a) of the Act
and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code,
the Department must find that the
exemption is administratively feasible,
in the interests of the plan and of its
participants and beneficiaries, and
protective of the rights of participants
and beneficiaries of the plan;
(3) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be supplemental to, and
not in derogation of, any other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including statutory or administrative
exemptions and transitional rules.
Furthermore, the fact that a transaction
is subject to an administrative or
statutory exemption is not dispositive of
whether the transaction is in fact a
prohibited transaction; and
(4) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be subject to the express
condition that the material facts and
representations contained in each
application are true and complete, and
that each application accurately
describes all material terms of the
transaction which is the subject of the
exemption.

SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\04APN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 4, 2018 / Notices
This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the DOL-Only Performance
Accountability, Information, and
Reporting System. The following
programs are required to report through
this system: Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult;
National Dislocated Worker and Youth;
Wagner Peyser Employment Service;
National Farmworker Jobs Program;
YouthBuild; Job Corps; and Indian and
Native American. Requiring these
programs to use a standard set of data
elements, definitions, and specifications
at all levels of the workforce system
helps improve the quality of the
performance information that is
received by the DOL. While the H1–B
discretionary grant, Senior Community
Service Employment, Jobs for Veterans
State Grants, the Reintegration of ExOffenders program (Adult and Youth),
and the Trade Adjustment Assistance
programs are not authorized under the
WIOA, they will be utilizing the data
element definitions and reporting
templates proposed in this ICR. The
accuracy, reliability, and comparability
of program reports submitted by states
and grantees using Federal funds are
fundamental elements of good public
administration. The subject information
collection requirements are necessary
tools for maintaining and demonstrating
system integrity. More specifically, this
ICR covers several information
collection instruments including—the
Quarterly Program Performance Report
(Form ETA–9173), WIOA Pay-forPerformance Report (Form ETA–9174),
and Participant Individual Record
Layout (PIRL) (Form ETA–9172). It
should also be noted that the required
data elements are noted within the PIRL
with respect to the Job Corps; however,
the burden associated with that data
collection currently is counted under
the ICR entitled, ‘‘Placement
Verification and Follow-up of Job Corps
Participants,’’ (OMB Control Number
1205–0426) as part of the follow-up
survey process. The information
collection subject to this Notice has
been classified as a revision, because of
the agency is adding citations for
recently promulgated regulations that
contain information collections as part
of the authority for the collection. See
20 CFR 641.700, 641.710, 641.720,
641.730, 641.740, and 641.750. These
regulations pertain to the Senior
Community Service Employment
Program. WIOA section 416(d)
authorizes this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 3141(d).
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 1205–0521. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
September 30, 2018; 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 12, 2017 (82 FR 58446).
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
1205–0521. 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.
