SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Office 
of Disability Employment Policy Technical Assistance (TA) Centers 
Customer Satisfaction Study information collection. The DOL will 
methodically study the level of customer satisfaction with the TA 
Centers that assist employers, Federal agencies, State governments, 
not-for-profit n-profits, individuals with disabilities, and others 
with technical assistance and policy development concerning the 
integration of people with disabilities into employment. The study will 
include data collected from short and in-depth surveys as well as 
qualitative interviews with customers and TA center staff. Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 2016 section 107 authorizes this information 
collection. See Public Law 114-113.
    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 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 June 13, 2017 (82 FR 27080).
    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 201705-
1230-001. 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.
