SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Enhanced Transitional Jobs 

Demonstration information collection 

that consists of reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. This 

reporting structure features 

standardized data collection for program 

participants and quarterly narrative, 

performance, and management 

information system report formats. 

Grantee organizations (e.g., State or 

local governments and faith-based and 

community organizations) or their subgrantees obtain and record needed 

information from program participants 

and report information quarterly to the 

ETA. Workforce Investment Act section 

136(f)(1) authorizes this information 

collection. See 29 U.S.C. 2871(f)(1). 

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 1205–0485. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

December 31, 2014. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 25, 2014 (79 FR 36100). 

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 

1205–0485. 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.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Notice of Availability of Funds and 

Funding Opportunity Announcement 

for the American Apprenticeship 

Initiative 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of Funding Opportunity 

Announcement (FOA). 

Funding Opportunity Number: FOA– 

ETA–15–02. 

SUMMARY: The Employment and 

Training Administration (ETA), U.S. 

Department of Labor, announces the 

availability of approximately $100 

million in grant funds authorized by 

Section 414(c) of the American 

Competitiveness and Workforce 

Improvement Act of 1998 (ACWIA), as 

amended (codified at 29 U.S.C. 2916a), 

for the American Apprenticeship 

Initiative. 

These grants are financed by a user 

fee paid by employers to hire foreign 

workers into the United States under the 

H–1B nonimmigrant visa program. This 

initiative is intended to provide a 

catalyst in supporting a uniquely 

American Apprenticeship system that 

meets our country’s particular 

economic, industry and workforce 

needs. American Apprenticeships (also 

referred to as Registered 

Apprenticeships) are innovative workbased learning and post-secondary earnand-learn models that meet national 

standards for registration with the U.S. 

Department of Labor (or federally 

recognized State Apprenticeship 

Agencies). Grants funded by this 

initiative will support dynamic and 

sustainable public-private partnerships 

that: 

• Support the expansion of quality 

and innovative American 

Apprenticeship programs into highgrowth occupation(s) and industry(s), 

particularly those for which employers 

are using H–1B visas to hire foreign 

workers, and the related activities 

necessary to support such programs (see 

Appendix A or visit the Foreign Labor 

Certification Data Center); 

• Create career pathways that 

encompass American Apprenticeship 

and align with other post-secondary 

educational offerings; 

• Use strategies to significantly 

increase apprenticeship opportunities 

for job seekers and workers (particularly 

for women and other underrepresented 

populations in apprenticeship,
