The Department of Labor’s
(DOL), Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) is soliciting
comments concerning a proposed
revision to the authority to conduct the
information collection request (ICR)
titled, ‘‘DOL-only Performance
Accountability, Information, and
Reporting System.’’ This comment
request is part of continuing
Departmental efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA).
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
written comments received by August
20, 2019.

SUMMARY:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A).
DOL, as
part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation 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
consultation 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.
Section 116 of WIOA requires States
that operate core programs of the
publicly-funded workforce system to
comply with common performance
accountability requirements. As such,
States that operate core programs must
submit common performance data to
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

demonstrate that specified performance
levels are achieved.
The data collections in this ICR fulfill
requirements in WIOA Sec. 116(d)(1),
which mandates that the Secretaries of
Labor and Education develop a template
for the annual performance reports to be
used by States, local boards, and eligible
providers of training services for
reporting on outcomes achieved by the
WIOA core programs. Pursuant to WIOA
sec. 116(d)(2), required annual data for
the core programs include, among
others, those related to primary
performance indicators, participant
counts and costs, and barriers to
employment. These data collections also
assist DOL in carrying out its mission
under the National Apprenticeship Act.
DOL proposes to amend the DOL-only
information collection by making
changes to the Participant Individual
Record Layout (ETA–9172), and the
(Program) Performance Report (ETA–
9173–APPSHP) to facilitate State and
grantee quarterly performance reporting.
DOL is also adding a new information
collection requirement to this ICR, the
Apprenticeship Employer Record
Layout. Particularly, as part of its effort
to streamline program performance
reporting, DOL is adding the
performance information collection
requirements for ETA grants with
significant apprenticeship components
as a primary goal of the program
(Apprenticeship Grants).
This notice includes the ETA
(Program) Performance Report
specifically for Apprenticeship Grants,
the Participant Individual Record
Layout (PIRL), and the Apprenticeship
Employer Record Layout. The DOL
requires States and grantees to certify
and submit the ETA (Program)
Performance Report to ETA on a
quarterly basis. ETA will aggregate the
information the States and grantees
submit through the PIRL to populate the
ETA (Program) Performance Report. In
addition, DOL is seeking approval to
require grantees to certify and submit
the Apprenticeship Employer Record
Layout to ETA on a quarterly basis.
The ETA (Program) Performance
Report has been designed to maximize
the value of the reports for workers,
jobseekers, employers, local elected
officials, State officials, Federal
policymakers, and other key
stakeholders. The PIRL has been
designed to reflect the specific
requirements of the annual reports as
described in WIOA section 116(d)(2)
through (4).
ETA will use the data to track total
participants, characteristics, services,
training strategies and outcomes for
employed, unemployed and long-term

unemployed participants. This data
collection format permits program
offices to evaluate program
effectiveness, monitor compliance with
statutory requirements, and analyze
participant activity and grantee
performance while complying with
OMB efforts to streamline Federal
performance reporting.
Under WIOA section 116(d)(6), the
Secretary of Labor is required to
annually make available (including by
electronic means), in an easily
understandable format, (a) the State
Annual Performance Reports containing
the information described in WIOA
section 116(d)(2) and (b) a summary of
the reports, and the reports required
under WIOA section 116(d)(6) (the State
Performance, Local Area, and Eligible
Training Provider Reports), to the
Committee on Education and the
Workforce of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
of the Senate.
The reports and other analyses of the
data will be made available to the public
through publication and other
appropriate methods and to the
appropriate congressional committees
through copies of such reports. In
addition, information obtained through
the DOL-only Performance
Accountability, Information, and
Reporting System will be used at the
national level during budget and
allocation hearings for DOL compliance
with the Government Performance and
Results Act and other legislative
requirements, and during legislative
authorization proceedings.
As mentioned above, as part of DOL’s
effort to improve program performance
reporting, DOL added the performance
information collection requirements for
Apprenticeship Grants to 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 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 DOL-only Performance
Accountability, Information, and

Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record to this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,
or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments. 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).
