Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 225 / Thursday, November 21, 2019 / Notices
proposed information collection request
seeks a revision of approved ETA Form
9039 (OMB Control No. 1205–0224),
which is set to expire on January 31,
2020.
The proposed revisions to ETA Form
9039 consist of (1) minor edits for
clarity; (2) an update to the Office of
Apprenticeship’s room number; (3) a
correction to the number of days (i.e.,
300) that a complaint must be filed as
required under part 30; (4) an update to
the list of protected bases to include
disability, age (40 or older), genetic
information, sex (including pregnancy
and gender identity), and sexual
orientation and their associated
definitions as required under part 30; (5)
and an update to the racial category
definitions so that it adheres to the OMB
standards on race. The National
Apprenticeship Act of 1937 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 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–
0224.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for 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

other forms of information technology,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Statutory Exemption for Cross-Trading
of Securities information collection. The
Interim Final Rule on Statutory
Exemption for CrossTrading of
Securities implements the content
requirements for the written crosstrading policies and procedures
required under section 408(b)(19)(H) of
ERISA, as added by section 611(g) of the
PPA. Section 611(g)(1) of the PPA
created a new statutory exemption,
added to section 408(b) of ERISA as
subsection 408(b)(19), that exempts
from the prohibitions of sections
406(a)(1)(A) and 406(b)(2) of ERISA
those cross-trading transactions
involving the purchase and sale of a
security between an account holding
assets of a pension plan and any other
account managed by the same
investment manager, provided that
certain conditions are satisfied. Section
611(g)(3) of the PPA further directed the
Secretary to issue regulations, within
180 days after enactment, regarding the
content of the policies and procedures
to be adopted by an investment manager
to satisfy the conditions of the new
statutory exemption. The Department
issued a final cross trading regulation on
October 7, 2008. The recordkeeping
requirement in the regulation
constitutes an information collection
within the meaning of the PRA, for
