[[Page 24889]]

comparability of program reports submitted by states and grantees using 
Federal funds are fundamental elements of good public administration,

integrity. This ICR includes several information collection 
instruments--Program Performance Report, WIOA Pay-for-Performance 
Report, Participant Individual Record Layout, WIOA Data Element 
Specifications, and Job Openings Report. WIOA section 185 authorizes 
this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 3245.
    This proposed 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 if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
information, see the related notices published in the Federal Register 
on April 16, 2015 (80 FR 20573), and September 1, 2015 (80 FR 52798).

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 ICR Reference Number 201604-
1205-003. 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
