AGENCY:
The Department of Labor’s
(DOL) Employment and Training

on Environmental Quality Regulations
implementing procedural provisions of
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), gives final notice of the
proposed construction of a 40,700
square foot asphalt parking lot and
related security fencing and lighting at
the main entrance of the Grafton Job
Corps Center and that this project will
not have a significant adverse impact on
the environment.
DATES: These findings are effective as of
April 16, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations (40 CFR part 1500–
08) implementing procedural provisions
of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), in accordance with 29 CFR
11.11(d), gives final notice of the
proposed construction of a 40,700
square foot asphalt parking lot and
related security fencing and lighting at
the main entrance of the Grafton Job
Corps Center and that this project will
not have a significant adverse impact on
the environment. A public notice of
availability of the draft environmental
assessment (EA) was published in the
Telegram & Gazette in Worcester
County, Massachusetts, on December
16, 2020. The review period extended

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00091
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Implementation of the proposed
action alternative will not have
significant impacts on the human
environment. The determination is
sustained by the analysis in the EA,
agency, consultation, the inclusion and
consideration of public review, and the
capability of mitigations to reduce or
avoid impacts. Any adverse
environmental effects that could occur
are no more than minor in intensity,
duration and context and less-thansignificant. As described in the EA,
there are no highly uncertain or
controversial impacts, unique or
unknown risks, significant cumulative
effects, or elements of precedence.
There are no previous, planned, or
implemented actions, which, in
combination with the proposed action
alternative, would have significant
effects on the human environment.
Requirements of NEPA have been
satisfied, and preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement is not
required.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
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 Office of Trade Adjustment
Assistance (OTAA) is seeking to revise
the TAAACS, which collects discrete
data on how State Workforce Agencies
(SWAs) organize the TAA program.
These modifications expand collection
on TAA worker list metrics, program
integration, and technical assistance and
improves the information collected
across eight (8) distinct categories. The
modifications also seeks to minimize
the burden by removing unnecessary,
increasing the clarity of questions, and
modifying previously cumbersome
rankings. This data will allow OTAA to
analyze promising practices in support
of TAA participants, identify areas with
technical assistance needs, and
determine opportunities for greater
program integration. Section 239(c) of
Title II, Chapter 2 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2271 et
seq.), 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
