DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of the Secretary
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
July 1, 1996.
The Department of Labor (DOL) has submitted the following public
information collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Copies of
these individual ICRs, with applicable supporting documentation, may be
obtained by calling the Department of Labor Acting Departmental
Clearance Officer, Theresa M. O'Malley ( 202 219-5095). Individuals
who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TTY/TDD) may call
202 219-4720 between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday
through Friday.
Comments should be sent to Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the Employment and Training
Administration, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235,
Washington, DC 20503 (202 395-7316), within 30 days from the date of
this publication in the Federal Register.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
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.
Agency: Employment and Training Administration.
Title: JTPA Section 401 General Waiver Regulation.
Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1205-0366.
Frequency: On occasion.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local or
Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 75.
Estimated Time Per Respondent: 3 hours.
Total Burden Hours: 225.
Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: 0.
Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing
services): 0.
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
informed 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.
