Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 182 / Wednesday, September 21, 2022 / Notices
The Federal Bonding Program
provides fidelity bonds protecting
employers who hire individuals with
criminal records and other job
applicants from theft, forgery, or
embezzlement by the employee.
Although the bonds have mainly been
used for hires of individuals with
criminal records, any job applicant is
eligible for bonding services, including
recovering substance abusers (alcohol or
drugs) and persons having poor
financial credit, youth and adults who
lack a work history, individuals
dishonorably discharged from the
military, and others. Over the years, the
Federal Bonding Program has remained
a relatively small program, serving
about 900 individuals each year. DOL
expanded the use of fidelity bonds to
place individuals previously
incarcerated in jobs by providing
multiple year grants to 24 states in 2019
and 8 additional grants in 2020 for
states to purchase such bonds.
Relatedly, the number of individuals
served rose to approximately 1,050 in
2021.
In order to account for the accurate
use and tracking of the expansion of
fidelity bonding, the Department is now
seeking to extend PRA approval for the
Fidelity Bond Issuance Form. This form
lists the contact information of the job
placement agency and the employer;
identifies the person being insured; and
provides the amount and the effective
date of the bond issued. The form also
identifies the occupation, hourly wage,
and hours per week of the job
placement; the employer type, industry,
and size of the firm; and the gender,
race, and ethnicity of the person
insured.
This information collection is
conducted under the authority of
section 185(a)(2) of the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA), which requires recipients of
funds under title I to maintain such
records and submit such reports as the
Secretary requires regarding the
performance of Title I programs and
activities (including Federal Bonding, a
WIOA section 169 demonstration). The
fidelity bonding demonstration grantees
will report a recidivism rate for
participants enrolled in Wagner-Peyser
Employment Service. The proposed
reporting and record-keeping system
provides a minimum level of
information collection that is necessary
to comply with Equal Opportunity
requirements, to hold grantees
appropriately accountable for the
Federal funds they receive to purchase
bonds, and to allow the Department to
fulfil its oversight and management
responsibilities.

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 1205–0541.
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.
