[[Page 19996]]

accept petitions for certification of eligibility to apply for 
adjustment assistance. Versions of Form ETA-9042, Petition for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance, 
establish a format that may be used for filing such petitions. DOL 
regulations regarding petitions for worker adjustment assistance may be 
found at 29 CFR part 90. Forms ETA-8562a, ETA-8562 a-1, ETA-8562 b, 
ETA-9118, ETA-9043a, and ETA-9043b are all undertaken in accordance 
with of the Trade Act sections 222, 223, and 249. The Secretary uses 
this information to certify whether groups of workers are eligible to 
apply for worker trade adjustment assistance.
    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 1205-0342.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and 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 December 17, 2015 (80 FR 78768).
    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 1205-0342. 
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.
