DATES:
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.
Under Executive Orders 12073 and
10582, and 20 CFR parts 651 and 654,
the Secretary of Labor is required to
classify Labor Surplus Areas (LSA) and
disseminate this information for the use
of all Federal agencies. This information
is used by Federal agencies for various
purposes including procurement
decisions, waiver decisions for the
Supplemental Nutritional Assistance
Program, certain small business loan
decisions, as well as other purposes
determined by the agencies. The LSA
list is issued annually, effective October
1 of each year, utilizing data from the

Bureau of Labor Statistics. Areas
meeting the criteria are classified as
LSAs.
Department regulations specify that
the Department can add other areas to
the annual LSA listing under the
exceptional circumstance criteria. Such
additions are based on information
contained in petitions submitted by the
state workforce agencies (SWAs) to
ETA. These petitions contain specific
economic information about an area to
provide ample justification for adding
the area to the LSA listing under the
exceptional circumstances criteria. The
petitions submitted by the SWAs
concern various aspects of
unemployment and the economic
condition for a specific area in order to
provide justification for adding the area
to the LSA list under the exceptional
circumstances criteria. Under these
criteria, an area may be determined
eligible for classification as a LSA if it
is experiencing a high rate of
unemployment which is not temporary
or seasonal and which was not
adequately reflected in the
unemployment data for the two-year
reference period. Instructions designed
to assist SWAs in the preparation of
such petitions are currently contained
on the ETA website: https://
www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/lsa.
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 Classifying Labor Surplus
Areas (LSA), OMB control number
1205–0207.
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
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).
