ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 30, 2015, the Department of Labor (DOL) will submit 
the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) sponsored information 
collection request (ICR) titled, ``Work Opportunity Tax Credit and 
Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit,'' to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval for continued use, without change, in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq. Public comments on the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives 
on or before July 30, 2015.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation; 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free of charge 
from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201502-1205-006 or by contacting Michel Smyth by 
telephone at 202-693-4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are not toll-free 
numbers) or by email at [email protected].
    Submit comments about this request by mail or courier to the Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for DOL-
ETA, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20503; by Fax: 202-395-5806 (this is not a toll-free 
number); or by email: [email protected]. Commenters are 
encouraged, but not required, to send a courtesy copy of any comments 
by mail or courier to the U.S. Department of Labor-OASAM, Office of the

Washington, DC 20210; or by email: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michel Smyth by telephone at 202-693-
4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are not toll-free numbers) or by email 
at [email protected].

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit 
information collection. This submission includes five program forms: 
(1) a reporting form, ETA-9058; (2) two processing forms, ETA-9061 
English and Spanish versions and ETA-9062; (3) and two administrative 
forms, ETA-9063 and ETA-9065. A State Workforce Agency (SWA) prepares 
Form ETA-9058 to report information on processing WOTC certification 
requests

[[Page 36356]]

by target groups to the ETA. An employer uses Form ETA-9061 or ETA-9062 
together with Form IRS-8850 to request certification for new hires. A 
SWA uses information from the two forms to verify target group 
eligibility and process the employer's requests. A SWA uses Form ETA-
9063 to issue a final certification to an eligible employer or its 
representative and ETA Form 9065 in an internal quarterly 
administrative audit.
    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 the 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. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1205-0371.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on June 30, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2015 (80 FR 
11231).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section by July 30, 2015. In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 
1205-0371. The OMB 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.
    Agency: DOL-ETA.
    Title of Collection: Work Opportunity Tax Credit and Welfare-to-
Work Tax Credit.
    OMB Control Number: 1205-0371.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households; State, Local, and 
Tribal Governments; and Private Sector--businesses or other for 
profits, farms, and not-for-profit institutions.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 990,052.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 2,420,624.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 847,445 hours.
