ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor’s 

(DOL) Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) is soliciting 

comments concerning a proposed 

extension for the authority to conduct 

the information collection request (ICR) 

titled, ‘‘Workforce Flexibility (Workflex)

(PRA).

written comments received by April 30,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as 

part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for final 

approval. This program helps to ensure 

requested data can be provided in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements can be properly assessed. 

Section 190 of the Workforce 

Innovation and Opportunity Act 

(WIOA) (Pub. L. 113–128, July 22, 2014) 

permits states to apply for Workflex 

waiver authority. The Act and 20 CFR 

679.630 provide that the Secretary may 

grant Workflex waiver authority for up 

to five years pursuant to a Workflex 

plan submitted by a state. Under 

Workflex, governors are granted the 

authority to approve requests submitted 

by their local areas to waive certain 

statutory and regulatory provisions of 

WIOA Title I programs. States may 

request waivers from the Secretary of 

certain requirements of the WagnerPeyser Act (sections 8–10) as well as 

certain provisions of the Older 

American Act of 1965 (OAA) (42 U.S.C. 

305d(b)) for state agencies on aging with 

respect to activities carried out using 

funds allotted under OAA section 

506(b). One of the underlying principles 

for granting Workflex waivers is that the 

waivers will result in improved 

performance outcomes for persons 

served and that the waiver authority 

will be granted in consideration of 

improved performance. 

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 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. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Number:1205–0432. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. DOL encourages commenters
