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 ETA National and Regional
Offices use the Quarterly Narrative
Progress Report, Employment and
Training Supplemental Budget Request
Activities, to monitor the progress of
State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) in
implementing supplemental grant
projects. ETA provides supplemental
grants for SWAs to prevent and detect
improper benefit payments, improve
state performance, and address outdated

infrastructures. ETA implements these
projects through Unemployment

Insurance (UI) Supplemental Budget
Request (SBR) grants, Reemployment
Services and Eligibility Assessments
(RESEA) grants, and Dislocated Worker
Grants (DWGs) to states for
demonstration and special projects such
as Reemployment and Systems
Integration (RSI). This information
collection includes the funded project/
activity, the targeted start and
completion dates for the project/
activity, and the quarterly
implementation status. These data are
needed for budget preparation and
control; program planning and
evaluation; program monitoring,
oversight, and performance
accountability; actuarial and program
research; and for accounting to Congress
and the public. Title III, Section
303(a)(6) of the Social Security Act
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–
0517.
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).
