    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    This information collection for the Workforce Information Grants to States (WIGS) ensures the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary meets WIOA requirements, and the states complete grant deliverables such as state economic analyses or special workforce information/economic studies, and the annual performance report. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on October 10, 2019 (84 FR 54644).

    This information collection is subject to the PRA.

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 OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.

    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal.
