**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This ICRseeks PRA authority for the PreApprenticeship Database information collection that will provide a valuable tool for job seekers, registered apprenticeship program sponsors, and American Job Center front line staff. A dedicated database will also provide a way for job seekers and registeredapprenticeship programs to access preapprenticeship programs in their localareas. The Application for PreApprenticeship Programs asks the program (1) for contact information including the program name, program director and an alternate point of contact; (2) about the population served and whether the pre-apprenticeship program has a direct link to a registered apprenticeship program as well as information on the nature of any direct link or partnership; (3) about the curriculum, whether a registered apprenticeship program or industryprovided input into the preapprenticeship program’s development, whether the training may lead to a credential or certificate, and whether a registered apprenticeship program has approved the training; and (4) about other services the pre-apprenticeship program provides to participants ( i.e., supportive services beyond training to the most-in-need participants), any skill assessments conducted, case manager availability, whether the program is structured to offer a real work environment, industries the program services, and the occupation(s) for which training is offered. National Apprenticeship Act of 1937 section 1 authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 50.

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 November 25, 2014 (79 FR 70205).

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 201409–1205–002. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:

responses.

revisions to the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). The JOLTS collects data on job vacancies, labor hires, and labor separations. The data can be used as demand-side indicators of labor shortages. These indicators of labor shortages at the national level greatly enhance policy makers’ understanding of imbalances between the demand and supply of labor. Presently there is no other economic indicator of labor demand with which to assess the presence of labor shortages in the U.S. labor market. The availability of unfilled jobs is an important measure of tightness of job markets, symmetrical to unemployment measures. This information collection has been classified as a revision, because all Touchtone Data Entry forms have been removed, as they are no longer used, and new instruments and forms have been added (Computer Assisted Telephone Interview Data Collection Scripts, Drop Letter Panel 84, JOLTS Fax Data Entry, and Web Postcard). The BLS Authorizing Statute authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1,
2. This 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 that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1220–0170. The current approval is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2015; however, the DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on December 29, 2014 (79 FR 78110).

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 Control Number 1220–0170. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
