SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written
comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning
the proposed collection of information
are encouraged. Your comments should
address one or more of the following
four points:
—Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, 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;
—Evaluate whether and if so how the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected can be
enhanced; 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.
Overview of this information
collection:
1. Type of Information Collection:
Revision of Existing Collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Office for Victims of Crime Training and
Technical Assistance Center- Trafficking
Information Management System
(TIMS).
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
NA. The applicable component within
the Department of Justice is the Office
for Victims of Crime, in the Office of
Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
Primary: OVC Grantees.
Abstract: The current package for
OMB approval is designed to simplify
performance reporting for OVC grantees
through the OVC Trafficking
Information Management System
(TIMS) Online system, a Web-based
database and reporting system for the
Victims of Human Trafficking Grant and
the Enhanced Collaborative Model
Grant initiatives. OVC will require OVC
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
Grantees to use this electronic tool to
submit grant performance data,
including demographics about human
trafficking victims. Since 2012, OVC has
published annual analyses of these data
to provide the crime victims’ field with
stronger evidence for practices and
programs.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: There are approximately 60
OVC Services to Victims of Human
Trafficking Grantees per six-month
reporting period. On average, it should
take each grantee one hour to seven
hours, depending on client case load per
reporting period, to enter information
into TIMS Online. There are two
reporting periods per year.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 480 hours (average 60 OVC
grantees * average 4 hours * 2 times per
year).

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 Noncitizen Benefit Clarification
and Other Technical Amendments Act
of 1998 (Pub. L. 105–306) permanently
authorized the SEA program, which is a
reemployment program that helps
Unemployment Insurance (UI)
claimants start their own businesses.
Public Law 112–96, the Middle Class
Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012
(the 2012 Act), expanded the SEA
program to provide states the
opportunity to allow UI claimants
receiving Extended Benefits to
participate in the SEA program.
Currently, five states use this
reemployment program.
Section 2183(b)(1) of the 2012 Act
directs the Secretary of Labor to
establish reporting requirements for
States that have established SEA
programs, which shall include reporting
on:
(A) The total number of individuals
who received unemployment
compensation and (i) were referred to a
SEA program; (ii) participated in such

program; and (iii) received an allowance
under such program;
(B) the total amount of allowances
provided to individuals participating in
a SEA program;
(C) the total income (as determined by
survey or other appropriate method) for
businesses that have been established by
individuals participating in a SEA
program, as well as the total number of
individuals employed through such
businesses; and
(D) any additional information, as
determined appropriate by the
Secretary. ETA currently uses Form
ETA–9161 as an electronic reporting
mechanism to collect this required
information. In addition to Public Law
112–96, collection of data is used for
oversight of the program as authorized
under Section 303(a)(6) of the Social
Security Act. Also, the code of Federal
Regulations authorizes this information
collection See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6.
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–
0490.
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

• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Standard requires that when aerial lifts
are ‘‘field modified’’ for uses other than
those intended by the manufacturer, the
manufacturer or other equivalent entity,
such as a nationally recognized testing
laboratory, must certify in writing that
the modification is in conformity with
all applicable provisions of ANSI
A92.2–1969 and the OSHA standard
and that the modified aerial lift is at
least as safe as the equipment was
before modification. Employers are to
maintain the certification record and
make it available to OSHA compliance
officers. This record provides assurance
to employers, workers, and compliance
officers that the modified aerial lift is
safe for use; thereby, preventing failure
while workers are being elevated. The
certification record also provides the
most efficient means for the compliance
officers to determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 5, 2021 (86 FR 23434).
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
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
