of the Act, which, among other things, 

require a fiduciary to discharge his 

duties respecting the plan solely in the 

interest of the participants and 

beneficiaries of the plan and in a 

prudent fashion in accordance with 

section 404(a)(1)(B) of the Act; nor does 

it affect the requirement of section 

401(a) of the Code that the plan must 

operate for the exclusive benefit of the 

employees of the employer maintaining 

the plan and their beneficiaries; 

(2) Before an exemption may be 

granted under section 408(a) of the Act 

and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code, 

the Department must find that the 

exemption is administratively feasible, 

in the interests of the plan and of its 

participants and beneficiaries, and 

protective of the rights of participants 

and beneficiaries of the plan; 

(3) The proposed exemptions, if 

granted, will be supplemental to, and 

not in derogation of, any other 

provisions of the Act and/or the Code, 

including statutory or administrative 

exemptions and transitional rules. 

Furthermore, the fact that a transaction 

is subject to an administrative or 

statutory exemption is not dispositive of 

whether the transaction is in fact a 

prohibited transaction; and 

(4) The proposed exemptions, if 

granted, will be subject to the express 

condition that the material facts and 

representations contained in each 

application are true and complete, and 

that each application accurately 

describes all material terms of the 

transaction which is the subject of the 

exemption.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National 

Dislocated Worker Grants (NDWGs) are 

discretionary grants awarded by the 

Secretary of Labor under Section 170 of 

the Workforce Innovation and 

Opportunity Act (WIOA). NDWGs 

provide states and other eligible 

applicants resources to respond to large, 

unexpected layoff events causing 

significant job losses. NDWG funds 

temporarily expand state, regional, and 

local workforce system capacity to serve 

dislocated workers, meet the increased 

demand for WIOA employment and 

training services, quickly reemploy laidoff workers, and enhance their 

employability and earnings. The NDWG 

legacy application and modification 

forms (ETA–9103, ETA–9105, ETA– 

9106, and ETA–9107) include project 

planning, employer, project summary, 

and project operator information. These 

legacy forms and application processes 

constitute the information collection 

request. ETA expects these forms to 

sunset shortly as all NDWG applications 

shift to the grants.gov application 

process associated with a different 

information collection. 

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 OMB for final approval. This public 

comment process 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. 

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. To 

help ensure appropriate consideration, 

comments should mention OMB control 

number 1205–0439. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. DOL encourages commenters 

not to include personally identifiable 

information, confidential business data, 

or other sensitive statements/ 

information in any comments. 

DOL 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 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 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. 

Background: The Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs (OWCP) 

administers the Federal Employees’ 

Compensation Act (FECA). Payment of 

compensation for partial disability to 

injured Federal workers is required by 

5 U.S.C. 8106. That section also requires 

the Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs (OWCP) to obtain information 

regarding a claimant’s earnings during a 

period of eligibility to compensation. 

The CA–1027, Request for Employment 

Information, is the form used to obtain 

information for an individual who is 

employed by a private employer. This 

information is used to determine the 

claimant’s entitlement to compensation 

benefits. This information collection is 

currently approved for use through 

August 31, 2022. 

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 the OMB 

under the PRA approves it and displays 

a currently valid OMB Control Number. 

In addition, notwithstanding any other 

provisions of law, no person shall 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(b) and 

1320.6. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Written 

comments will receive consideration, 

and 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 1240–0047. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. The DOL encourages 

commenters not to include personally 

identifiable information, confidential 

business data, or other sensitive 

statements/information in any 

comments. 

The DOL 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
