SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Equal Employment
Opportunity in Apprenticeship
Training. Title 29 CFR part 30 sets forth
policies and procedures to promote
equality of opportunity in
apprenticeship programs registered with
the U.S. Department of Labor (the
Department) and recognized State
Apprenticeship Agencies. Among other
things, these policies and procedures
apply to the recruitment and selection
of apprentices, and to the conditions of
employment and training during
apprenticeship. The procedures also
provide for reviewing apprenticeship
programs, for processing complaints,
and for deregistering non-complying
apprenticeship programs. The part 30
regulations also provide policies and
procedures for continuation or
withdrawal of recognition of State
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
5253
Apprenticeship Agencies (SAAs) which
register apprenticeship programs for
Federal purposes. This information
collection is a revision, because it
includes: (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 bases for complaints to
include disability, age (40 or older),
genetic information, sex (including
pregnancy and gender identity), sexual
orientation, and retaliation; (5) the
removal of the definitions of protected
bases to be consistent with the practices
of other agencies of the Department; and
(6) to clarify that the non-retaliation
language applies to both employers and
sponsors. The annual burden for this
information collection increased from
16,097 hours to 191,355 hours resulting
in an increase of 175,258 hours over
ETA’s previous estimate, which OMB
approved until January 31, 2020. Unlike
ETA’s previous estimate, the annual
burden for this information collection is
calculated for all program sponsors and
not just new ones since there are
ongoing burdens that all sponsors need
to undertake annually.
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 the OMB,
under the PRA, approves it 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 OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains
OMB approval for this information
collection under Control Number 1205–
0224. The current approval is scheduled
to expire on January 31, 2020; however,
the DOL notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB will 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
November 21, 2019 (84 FR 64340).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Work Opportunity Tax
Credit (WOTC). The WOTC is a Federal
tax credit available to employers for
hiring individuals from certain target
groups who have consistently faced
significant barrier to employment. This
submission includes seven WOTC
program forms as follows:

2016—Self-Attestation Form (SAF) for
the Long-Term Unemployment
Recipient;

Agency Declaration of Verification
Results Worksheet. This information
collection is a revision, because the
burden hours significantly increased for
this burden statement reporting due to
incorporating the WOTC denial rate
which has not been factored in
historically. We believe this more
accurately reflects the full total number
of respondents. WOTC is authorized
under §§ 51 and 3111(e) of the Internal
Revenue Code 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 the OMB,
under the PRA, approves it and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
In addition, notwithstanding any other

generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a

OMB approval for this information
collection under Control Number 1205–

to expire on January 31, 2020; however,
the DOL notes that existing information
