Description: The Employment and Training Administration requires
information on the provisions of the amended Job Training Partnership
Act (JTPA) section 401 regulations at 20 CFR 632.70 These provisions
allow Indian and Native American JTPA grantees to seek a waiver of the
nonstatutory provisions of the current regulations at 20 CFR Parts 632
and 636. This general waiver request capability is already available to
the Governors at 20 CFR 627.201, and to those section 401 grantees
participating in the demonstration under Public Law 102-477 (Indian
Employment, Training and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992).
The information to be collected is in support of any such waiver
request(s) submitted by section 401 grantees pursuant to 20 CFR 632.70,
and is necessary to allow DOL officials to make intelligent and
informated decisions on the waiver requests received. Without such
supplementary information, it would be impossible for the Department to
grant any waivers to existing regulations. There are no continuing
information requirements associated with this collection. Such
collection is only mandated when a waiver request is submitted by a
grantee, and serves no purpose other than to evaluate the merits of the
waiver request.
Theresa M. O'Malley,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
