DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Office of the Secretary

Submission for OMB Emergency

Review; Comment Request

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 January 2, 1998. A copy of

the ICR, with applicable supporting

documentation, may be obtained by

calling the Department of Labor

Departmental Clearance Officer, Todd R.

Owen, 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,

DC 20503, (202) 395–7316. The Office of

Management and Budget 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: Indian and Native American

Welfare-to-Work Programs.

Frequency: Quarterly (report

submission).

Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal

Government.

Number of Respondents: 130

(estimated).

Total Responses: 1,040.

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 9

hours.

Total Burden Hours: 9,360.

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):

None.

Total Burden Cost (operating/

maintaining): $3,000,000.00 per year

(program administrative costs).

Description: This ICR is associated

with the issuance of forms and

instructions necessary to report on

activity conducted under the Indian and

Native American Welfare-to-Work (INA

WtW) program. The ICR concerns the

submission of program and financial

reports by Federally-recognized tribes

and Alaska Native entities (or consortia

thereof) awarded grants under the INA

WtW program. These reports will

document employment activity

conducted by INA WtW grantees who

provide employment services to adult

recipients of benefits under the

Temporary Assistance for Needy

Families (TANF) program, established

by Pub. L. 104–193 (the Personal

Responsibility and Work Opportunity

Reconciliation Act of 1996, commonly

called the ‘‘Welfare Reform Act’’).

Information submitted on these

reports will be utilized by the

Department to evaluate the success of

individual INA WtW programs and to

provide data for reports to Congress and

the White House on the success of the

overall INA WtW program. These

instructions and forms are being issued

in conjunction with the publication of

the Interim Final Rule governing the

INA WtW program in compliance with

the requirements of section

412(a)(3)(C)(iii) of the Social Security

Act, as amended by section 5001(c) of

Pub. L. 105–33 (the Balanced Budget

Act of 1997). This emergency clearance

is necessary to enable the Department to

implement the INA WtW program as

close to the legislatively-mandated

beginning date of October 1, 1997

(Fiscal Year 1998) as possible. Also,

quick implementation of the INA WtW

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 Pub. L. 104–193 (the

‘‘Welfare Reform Act’’).

Todd R. Owen,

Departmental Clearance Officer.
