DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Office of the Secretary

Submission for OMB Emergency

Review; Comment Request

September 23, 1997.

The Department of Labor has

submitted the following (see below)

information collection request (ICR),

utilizing emergency review procedures,

to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and clearance in

accordance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44

U.S.C. 3506). OMB approval has been

requested by October 3, 1997. A copy of

the ICR, with applicable supporting

documentation, may be obtained by

calling the Department of Labor

Departmental Clearance Officer, Theresa

M. O’Malley, at (202) 219–5095 ext. 143.

Comments and questions about the

ICR listed below should be forwarded to

the Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, ATTN: OMB Desk Officer for

the Employment and Training

Administration, Office of Management

and Budget, Room 10235, Washington,

D.C. 20503 (202) 395–7316. The Office

of Management and Budget is

particularly interested in comments

which:

• Evaulate 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: Indian and Native American

Welfare-to-Work Programs.

Frequency: Annual (Plan submission).

Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal

Government.

Number of Respondents: 150.

Total of Responses: 150.

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 6

hours.

Total Burden Hours: 900.

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):

None.

Total Burden Cost (operating/

maintaining): $3,000,000.00 per year

(program administrative costs).

Description: This ICR concerns the

submission of applications and plans by

Federally-recognized tribes and Alaska

Native entities (or consortia thereof)

eligible to receive funding under the

Indian and Native American Welfare-toWork (INA W2W) program. These

instructions include a pre-application

process for those tribes which do not

operate a tribal Temporary Assistance

for Needy Families (TANF) program or

a Native Employment Works (NEW)

program, as established by Public Law

104–193 (the Personal Responsibility

and Work Opportunity Reconciliation

Act of 1996, commonly called the

‘‘Welfare Reform Act’’). These nonTANF or NEW tribes must qualify as

INA W2W grantees under the

‘‘substantial services’’ criteria

established by the Department in

accordance with the provisions of

section 412(a)(3)(B)(ii) of the Social

Security Act, as amended by section

5001(c) of Public Law 105–33 (the

Balanced Budget Act of 1997). Once

determined to have met the ‘‘substantial

services’’ criteria, applicants must

submit a plan containing a Standard

Form (SF) 424, the basic information on

service area, plans for providing client

services, preliminary funding and

expenditure estimates, and standard

assurances and forms common to most

Federal funds recipients. This

emergency clearance is necessary to

enable the Department to implement the

INA W2W program as close to the

legislatively-mandated beginning date of

October 1, 1997 (Fiscal Year 1998) as

possible, as authorized by Public Law

105–33. Also, quick implementation of

the INA W2W program is desirable

because many TANF recipients are

reaching the exhaustion of their

benefits, due to the time limits for

receiving those benefits imposed by

Public Law 104–193 (the ‘‘Welfare

Reform Act’’).
