SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Placement Verification and Follow-up of Job Corps Participants 
information collection. The collection consists of three primary and 
two secondary data collection instruments used to collect follow-up 
data on individuals who are no longer actively participating in Job 
Corps. The instruments are comprised of modules that include questions 
designed to obtain the following information: Re-verification of 
initial job and/or school placements, employment and educational 
experiences, job search activities of those who are neither working nor 
in school, and information about former participants' satisfaction with 
services received. Workforce Investment Act (Pub. L. 107-210, Title I 
Subtitle C) authorizes, and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity 
Act authorize this information collection.
    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. DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under 
Control Number 1205-0426.
    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 December 31, 2015. DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. 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 September 4, 2015 (80 FR 53578).
