Reports,'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and

invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives 
on or before March 11, 2016.

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=201512-1293-001 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].
    Submit comments about this request by mail or courier to the Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for DOL-
VETS, 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

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

4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are not toll-free numbers) or sending an

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Jobs for Veterans State Grants Reports information 
collection. The VETS administers funds for multi-year Jobs for Veterans 
State Grants given to each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto 
Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam on an annual basis on a fiscal year 
cycle. This information collection is used to facilitate the 
identification of required programmatic and financial data provided by 
States requesting and expending funds and for monitoring the grants, 
making quarterly adjustments, and reporting results to Congress. The 
use of program-specific standard formats helps to ensure that requested 
data can be provided in a uniform way, reporting burdens are minimized, 
the impact of collection requirements on respondents are properly 
assessed, collection instruments are clearly understood by respondents, 
and the information is easily consolidated for posting in accordance 
with statutory requirements. Reporting instruments under this ICR are: 
Manager's Report on Services to Veterans and Forms VETS-201, VETS-401, 
VETS-402A, VETS-501, and VETS-601. This information collection has been 
classified as a revision, because the VETS has adopted clarifying 
changes submitted by users to Form VETS-201. These changes are more 
fully explained in the ICR. The Training and Rehabilitation for 
Veterans with Service Connected Disabilities Act, Job Counseling, 
Training, and Placement Service for Veterans Act, Employment and 
Training of Veterans Act, and Employment Assistance, Job Training 
Assistance and other Transitional Services Act authorize this 
information collection. See 38 U.S.C. 31, 38 U.S.C. 41, 38 U.S.C. 42, 
and 10 U.S.C. 1144.
    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 1293-0009. 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

[[Page 7157]]

upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this 
ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on March 
3, 2015 (80 FR 11470).
    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 1293-0009. 
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.
