-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting the Employment and 
Training Administration (ETA) sponsored information collection request 
(ICR) revision titled, ``Workforce Information Grants to States,'' to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval for 
use in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 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 March 15, 2017.

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=201612-1205-001 (this link will only become active

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for DOL-
ETA, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Workforce Information Grants to States information 
collection. This information collection covers the following grantee 
reporting requirements: Workforce Information Database, State and local 
industry and occupational employment projections, and a statewide 
annual economic analysis report. The ICR also covers related 
recordkeeping requirements. This information collection has been 
classified as a revision, because the ETA will not implement a 
previously approved online reporting system; rather, a respondent will 
copy its work onto a shared directory on an ETA Web site. Workforce 
Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 sections 101 and 308 authorize 
this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 3111 and 49l-2.
    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 1205-0417. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on March 31, 2017; 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 August 15, 2016 (81 FR 54126).
    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

[[Page 10501]]

publication of this notice in the Federal Register. In order to help 
ensure appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control 
Number 1205-0417. 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.
    Agency: DOL-ETA.
    Title of Collection: Workforce Information Grants to States.
    OMB Control Number: 1205-0417.
    Affected Public: State, local, and tribal governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 54.
