Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks 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 registered 

apprenticeship programs to access preapprenticeship programs in their local 

areas. 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 industry 

provided 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: 

• 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 69 / Friday, April 10, 2015 / Notices 19357 

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
