(ICR) revision titled, ``Foreign Labor Certification Quarterly Activity

of 1995 (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 September 2, 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=201505-1205-002 (this link will only become active 
on the day following publication of this notice) or by contacting 
Michel Smyth by telephone at 202-693-4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are 
not toll-free numbers) or sending an email to [email protected].

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for DOL-

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Foreign Labor Certification Quarterly Activity Report 
information collection. The Foreign Labor Certification Quarterly 
Activity Report, Form ETA-9127, is used to collect information from a 
State Workforce Agency (SWA) on activities performed under a Foreign 
(Alien) Labor Certification reimbursable grant and provides a sound 
basis for program management, including budget, workload management, 
and monitoring for compliance with the grant. This information 
collection has been classified as a revision, because the burden hours 
and the number of responses and respondents have changed to reflect the 
recent corresponding burden transfer for prevailing practice surveys 
and ad hoc surveys to OMB Control Number 1205-0017. In addition, minor 
changes are proposed for Form ETA-9127 and its instructions. These 
latter changes would not affect public burden. The Wagner-Peyser Act 
and Immigration and Nationality Act section 218(c)(3)(A) authorize this 
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 49(i) and 8 U.S.C. 1188(c)(3)(A).
    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 1205-0457. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on September 30, 2015; however, the DOL

notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to 
the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. 
New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2015 (80 FR 
12039).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1205-0457. 
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.
