ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA) is soliciting comments concerning a proposed 
extension for the authority to conduct the information collection 
request (ICR) titled, ``Quarterly Narrative Progress Report, Employment 
and Training Supplemental Budget Request Activities.'' This comment 
request is part of continuing Departmental efforts to reduce paperwork 
and respondent burden in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (PRA).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all written comments received by 
August 7, 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 by 
contacting Brad Wiggins by telephone at (202) 693-3029, TTY 1-877-889-
5627 (these are not toll-free numbers) or by email at 
[email protected].
    Submit written comments about, or requests for a copy of, this ICR 
by mail or courier to the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and 
Training Administration, Office of Unemployment Insurance, 200 
Constitution Avenue NW., Room S-4524, Washington, DC 20210; by email: 
[email protected]; or by Fax (202) 693-3229.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, as part of continuing efforts to 
reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance 
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies 
an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of 
information before submitting them to the OMB for final approval. This 
program helps to ensure requested data can be provided in the desired 
format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, 
collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of 
collection requirements can be properly assessed.
    The ETA National and regional offices use the Quarterly Narrative 
Progress Report, Employment and Training Supplemental Budget Request 
Activities, to monitor the progress of State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) 
in implementing supplemental grant projects. ETA provides supplemental 
grants for SWAs to prevent and detect improper benefit payments, 
improve state performance, and address outdated Information Technology 
(IT) system infrastructures. ETA implements these projects through 
Unemployment Insurance (UI) Supplemental Budget Request (SBR) grants, 
Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessments (RESEA) grants, and 
Dislocated Worker Grants (DWGs) to states for demonstration and special 
projects such as Reemployment and Systems Integration (RSI). This 
information collection includes the funded project/activity, the 
targeted start and completion dates for the project/activity, and the 
quarterly implementation status. These data are needed for budget 
preparation and control; program planning and evaluation; program 
monitoring, oversight, and performance accountability; actuarial and 
program research; and for accounting to Congress and the public. Title 
III, Section 303(a)(6) of the Social Security Act authorizes this 
information collection.
    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.
    Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the 
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to 
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In

[[Page 26715]]

order to help ensure appropriate consideration, comments should mention 
OMB control number 1205-0517.
    Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this 
ICR and posted on the Internet, without redaction. The DOL encourages 
commenters not to include personally identifiable information, 
confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information 
in any comments.
    The DOL 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.
