SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Overpayment Detection and Recovery Activities information 
collection. Form ETA-227, Overpayment Detection and Recovery 
Activities, is the instrument by which the ETA collects the subject 
information on a quarterly basis from States. Form ETA 227 responses 
provide data on the number and amounts of fraud and non-fraud 
overpayments, the methods by which any overpayments were detected, the 
amounts and methods by which overpayments were collected, the amounts 
of overpayments waived and written off, the accounts receivable for the 
overpayments outstanding, and data on criminal/civil actions. Social 
Security Act section 303(a)(6) authorizes this information collection. 
See 26 U.S.C. 42 U.S.C. 503(a)(6).
    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 1205-0187.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on August 31, 2017. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on March 15, 2017 (82 FR 13855).
    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 1205-0187. 
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.
