SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Cascades Job Corps
College and Career Academy Pilot
Evaluation. The Chief Evaluation Office
of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
has commissioned an impact and
implementation evaluation of the
Cascades Job Corps College and Career
Academy Pilot program. More
specifically, this ICR is seeking a
revision of previously approved ICR
(1290–0012) for the data collection
activities for the evaluation of the CCCA
pilot. The OASP seeks approval in this
submission for: (1) A baseline
information form to support the impact
study, (2) tracking data to support the
planned 18-month follow-up survey,
and (3) stakeholder interview and
student focus group discussion guides
to support the implementation study.
This information collection is a
revision, because this is an extension
request with changes. We are requesting
to add additional site visits for semistructured interviews. Some of the data
collection activities (e.g., baseline
information form) are no longer needed.
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 Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains
OMB approval for this information
collection under Control Number 1290–
0012. The current approval is scheduled
to expire on February 29, 2020;
however, the DOL notes that existing
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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 October 23, 2019 (84 FN
56841).
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
1290–0012. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
‘‘Employee Benefit Plan Claims
Procedure Under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act’’
information collection. Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
Section 503 and accompanying
regulations at 29 CFR 2560.503–1
require employee benefit plans to
establish procedures for resolving
benefit claims under the plan, including
initial claims and appeal of denied
claims. The regulation requires specific
information to be disclosed at different
stages of the claims process. It also
requires claims denial notices to be
provided within specific time-frames
and to include specific information.
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 Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains
OMB approval for this information
collection under Control Number 1210–
0053.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
February 29, 2020. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
