AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, DOL. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

Employment and Training 

Administration is soliciting comments 

concerning the collection of data about 

the Work Flex Plan Submission and 

Reporting Requirements. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request (ICR) can be obtained 

by contacting the office listed below in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 192 of the Workforce 

Investment Act (Pub. L. 105–220, 

August 7, 1998) permits states to apply 

for a workforce flexibility (Work-Flex) 

waiver authority to implement reforms 

to their workforce investment systems 

in exchange for program improvements. 

The Act provides that the Secretary may 

grant Work-Flex waiver authority for up 

to five years pursuant to a Work-Flex 

Plan submitted by a state. Under WorkFlex, governors are granted the authority 

to approve requests submitted by their 

local areas to waive certain statutory 

and regulatory provisions of WIA Title 

I programs. States may also request 

waivers from the Secretary of certain 

requirements of the Wagner-Peyser Act 

(Sections 8–10) as well as certain 

provisions of the Older Americans Act 

for state agencies that administer the 

Senior Community Service Employment 

Program (SCSEP). The intent of the 

Work-Flex provision is to provide states 

and local areas with operational 

flexibility to improve employment and 

training program productivity for adult, 

dislocated, and youth populations. One 

of the underlying principles for granting 

Work-Flex waivers is that the waivers 

will result in improved performance 

outcomes for persons served and that 

waiver authority will be granted in 

consideration of improved performance. 

The proposed Work-Flex Quarterly 

Reporting instructions are slightly 

different than the currently approved 

collection. The Department of Labor 

proposes to eliminate four questions 

requesting States to provide sums of 

waivers granted, and replaces it with a 

question asking States to explain any 

conditions it imposes on local areas 

granted a waiver under the Work-Flex 

authority. 

Work-Flex Plan Instructions 

States requesting designation as a 

Work-Flex state must submit a WorkFlex Plan which includes descriptions 

of: 

a. The process by which local areas in 

the state may submit and obtain 

approval by the state of applications for 

waivers of requirements applicable 

under Title I of WIA, including 

provisions for public review and 

comment on local area waiver 

applications. 

b. The statutory and regulatory 

requirements of Title I that are likely to 

be waived by the state under the plan. 

c. The requirements applicable under 

Sections 8–10 of the Wagner-Peyser Act 

that are proposed to be waived, if any. 

d. The statutory and regulatory 

requirements of the Older Americans 

Act of 1965 applicable to state agencies 

on aging with respect to administration 

of the Senior Community Service 

Employment Program (SCSEP) that are 

proposed to be waived, if any. 

e. The outcomes to be achieved by the 

waiver authority including, where 

appropriate, revisions to adjusted levels 

of performance included in the State or 

Local Plan under Title I of WIA. 

f. Special administrative measures (in 

addition to current procedures) to be 

taken to ensure appropriate 

accountability for Federal funds in 

connection with the waivers. 

g. Prior to submitting a Work-Flex 

plan, the state must provide all 

interested parties and the general public 

adequate notice and a reasonable 

opportunity for comment on the waivers 

proposed to be implemented. The plan 

should describe the process used for 

ensuring meaningful public comment, 

including a description of the

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor 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 submissions 

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

188 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural 

Development Act of 1972, as established 

under 29 CFR Part 75, authorizes the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

to make or guarantee loans or grants to 

finance industrial and business 

activities in rural areas. The Secretary of 

Labor must review the application for 

financial assistance for the purpose of 

certifying to the Secretary of Agriculture 

that the assistance is not calculated, or 

likely, to result in: (a) A transfer of any 

employment or business activity from 

one area to another by the loan 

applicant’s business operation; or, (b) 

An increase in the production of goods, 

materials, services, or facilities in an 

area where there is not sufficient 

demand to employ the efficient capacity 

of existing competitive enterprises 

unless the financial assistance will not 

have an adverse impact on existing 

competitive enterprises in the area. The 

Employment and Training 

Administration within the Department 

of Labor is responsible for the review 

and certification process. Comments 

should address the two bases for 

certification and, if possible, provide 

data to assist in the analysis of these 

issues.
