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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the 
American Apprenticeship Initiative (AAI) Grants information collection. 
The ETA requires grantees to submit Quarterly Progress Reports on 
enrolled apprentices in Registered Apprenticeship programs and/or pre-
apprenticeship program participants, along with a narrative summary of 
the partnership progress and implementation measures identified by the 
grantee in the project work plan. These reports help ETA gauge the 
effects of the AAI grants, identify grantees and programs that could 
serve as useful models, and target technical assistance appropriately. 
The reports can also be used to inform future evaluations. American 
Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 as Amended 
section 414(c)(7) authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 
3224a(7).
    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

[[Page 12852]]

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 
notice published in the Federal Register on July 2, 2015 (80 FR 38234).
    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 ICR Reference Number 201509-
1205-007. 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.
