Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 85656 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 235 / Friday, December 8, 2023 / Notices The National Farmworkers Job Program and YouthBuild grants are authorized under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014, which identified performance accountability requirements for these grants. The WIOA performance indicators and reporting requirements also apply to the Dislocated Worker, Dislocated Worker Demonstration, and Reentry Employment Opportunities Grants. While H–1B and the DOL Office of Apprenticeship grants are not authorized under WIOA, these programs have adopted the WIOA performance indicators and align with WIOA data element definitions and reporting templates to promote consistency across these DOL-funded programs. The Senior Community Service Employment Program, authorized under the Older Americans Act, as amended (Pub. L. 114–144), has also adopted some of the WIOA performance measures and, for this reason has adopted the WIOA Joint QNR. 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.
