the information collection request (ICR)
titled, ‘‘Workforce Innovation and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as
part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program 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 program 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.
The Department of Labor (DOL) seeks
approval of a revision to a current
information collection request (ICR)
titled ‘‘Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act Common Performance
Reporting’’ (OMB Control No. 1205–
0526), previously approved June 30,
2016. This request is for a ‘‘common
forms’’ clearance process. The
Department of Education (ED) (the two
Departments to be jointly referred to as
the ‘‘Departments’’) actively
participated in the development of this
ICR, and is a signatory to the ‘‘WIOA
Common Performance Reporting’’
information collection, which details
the requirements for WIOA Statewide
performance reporting.
The previous iteration of this ICR
contained the following: WIOA
Statewide Performance Report Template
and WIOA Local Performance Report
Template (ETA–9169); WIOA Joint
Participant Individual Record Layout
(PIRL) (ETA–9170); and WIOA Eligible
Training Provider (ETP) Performance
Report Specifications and WIOA
Eligible Training Provider (ETP)
Performance Report Definitions (ETP–
9171).
This ICR revises and updates certain
aspects of those existing information
collection instruments. Further, a few
non-substantive adjustments are
included to the WIOA Eligible Training
Provider (ETP) Performance Report
Definitions (ETP–9171), WIOA Joint
PIRL (ETA–9170) and the WIOA
Statewide Performance Report Template
and WIOA Local Performance Report
Template (ETA–9169). These
adjustments clarify data elements and
align the forms with published guidance
and policy.
Section 116 of WIOA (29 U.S.C. 3141)
authorizes this information collection.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 No. 1205–0526.
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
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).
