SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: States 

submit quarterly performance data for 

the Wagner-Peyser funded public labor 

exchange services through ETA 9002 

reports and for Veterans’ Employment 

and Training Services (VETS)-funded 

labor exchange services through VETS 

200 reports. The Employment and 

Training (ET) Handbook No. 406 

contains the report forms and provides 

instructions for completing these 

reports. The ETA Handbook No. 406 

contains a total of eight reports (ETA 

9002, A, B, C, D, E, F; VETS 200 A, B, 

C). The ETA 9002 and VETS 200 reports 

collect data on individuals who receive 

core employment and workforce 

information services through the public 

labor exchange and VETS-funded labor 

exchange of the states’ One-Stop 

delivery systems. Respondents are State 

governments and grantees and 

individuals providing information used 

by the States in preparing their reports. 

Selected standardized information 

pertaining to customers in Wagner 

Peyser programs are collected and 

reported for the purposes of general 

program oversight, evaluation, and 

performance assessment. Revisions are 

requested to the forms to comply with 

the 2011 Jobs for Veterans Act. 

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 if the 

collection of information does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The 

DOL obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under OMB 

Control Number 1205–0240. The current 

OMB approval is scheduled to expire on 

March 31, 2012; however, it should be 

noted that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

For additional information, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on January 18, 2012 (77 FR 

2566). 

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 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

reference OMB Control Number 1205– 

0240. 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.
