of the Act, which, among other things,
require a fiduciary to discharge his
duties respecting the plan solely in the
interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of the plan and in a
prudent fashion in accordance with
section 404(a)(1)(B) of the Act; nor does
it affect the requirement of section
401(a) of the Code that the plan must
operate for the exclusive benefit of the
employees of the employer maintaining
the plan and their beneficiaries;
(2) Before an exemption may be
granted under section 408(a) of the Act
and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code,
the Department must find that the
exemption is administratively feasible,
in the interests of the plan and of its
participants and beneficiaries, and
protective of the rights of participants
and beneficiaries of the plan;
(3) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be supplemental to, and
not in derogation of, any other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including statutory or administrative
exemptions and transitional rules.
Furthermore, the fact that a transaction
is subject to an administrative or
statutory exemption is not dispositive of
whether the transaction is in fact a
prohibited transaction; and
(4) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be subject to the express
condition that the material facts and
representations contained in each
application are true and complete, and
that each application accurately
describes all material terms of the
transaction which is the subject of the
exemption.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 3rd day of
March 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National
Dislocated Worker Grants (NDWGs) are
discretionary grants awarded by the
Secretary of Labor under Section 170 of
the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA). NDWGs
provide states and other eligible
applicants resources to respond to large,
unexpected layoff events causing
significant job losses. NDWG funds
temporarily expand state, regional, and
local workforce system capacity to serve
dislocated workers, meet the increased
demand for WIOA employment and
training services, quickly reemploy laidoff workers, and enhance their
employability and earnings. The NDWG
legacy application and modification
forms (ETA–9103, ETA–9105, ETA–
9106, and ETA–9107) include project

planning, employer, project summary,
and project operator information. These
legacy forms and application processes
constitute the information collection
request. ETA expects these forms to
sunset shortly as all NDWG applications
shift to the grants.gov application
process associated with a different
information collection.
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 OMB for final approval. This public
comment process 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.
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. To
help ensure appropriate consideration,
comments should mention OMB control
number 1205–0439.
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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 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 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.
Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP)
administers the Federal Employees’
Compensation Act (FECA). Payment of
compensation for partial disability to
injured Federal workers is required by
5 U.S.C. 8106. That section also requires
the Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) to obtain information
regarding a claimant’s earnings during a
period of eligibility to compensation.
The CA–1027, Request for Employment
Information, is the form used to obtain
information for an individual who is
employed by a private employer. This
information is used to determine the
claimant’s entitlement to compensation
benefits. This information collection is
currently approved for use through
August 31, 2022.
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
DATES:
PO 00000

a currently valid OMB Control Number.
In addition, notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, no person shall 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(b) and
1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Written
comments will receive consideration,
and 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 Number 1240–0047.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL is particularly interested in

• 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
