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. 

I. Background 

The Occupational Code Assignment 

form (ETA 741) was developed as a 

public service to the users of the 

Occupational Information Network 

(O*NET), in an effort to help them in 

obtaining occupational codes and titles 

for jobs that they are unable to locate in 

O*NET. The O*NET system classifies 

nearly all jobs in the United States 

economy. However, new specializations 

are constantly evolving and emerging. 

The use of the OCA is voluntary and is 

provided: (1) As a uniform format to the 

public and private sector to submit 

information in order to receive 

assistance in identifying an 

occupational code; (2) to assist the 

O*NET system in identifying potential 

occupations that may need to be 

included in future O*NET data 

collection efforts; and (3) to provide 

input to a database of alternative (lay) 

titles to facilitate searches for 

occupational information in the O*NET 

websites including O*NET OnLine 

(http://online.onetcenter.org), My Next 

Move (www.MyNextMove.gov), My Next 

Move for Veterans 

(www.MyNextMove.org/vets), O*NET 

Code Connector 

(www.onetcodeconnector.org), as well as 

CareerOneStop 

(www.careeronestop.org). 

The OCA process is designed to help 

the occupational information user relate 

an occupational specialty or a job title 

to an occupational code and title within 

the framework of the 2018 Standard 

Occupational Classification (SOC) based 

O*NET system. The O*NET–SOC 

system consists of a database that 

organizes the work done by individuals 

into approximately 1,000 occupational 

categories. In addition, O*NET 

occupations have associated data on the 

importance and level of a range of 

occupational characteristics and 

requirements, including Knowledge, 

Skills, Abilities, Tasks and Work 

Activities. Since the O*NET–SOC 

system is based on the 2018 SOC 

system, identifying an O*NET–SOC 

code and title also facilitates linkage to 

national, state, and local occupational 

employment and wage estimates. 

Section 308 of the Workforce 

Innovation and Opportunity Act 

authorizes this information collection. 

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 1205–0137. 

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). 

Agency: DOL–ETA. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

changes. 

Title of Collection: Occupational Code 

Assignment. 

Form: ETA–741.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Labor, as part of 

continuing efforts to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance 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

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 ICR collects the required 

information for work applications and 

job order recordkeeping. The exact 

information collected is determined by 

the State. At a minimum, the 

information to be collected is that which 

enables the State to comply with 

regulations under 20 CFR 652 and the 

Wagner-Peyser Act. 

In March 2019, OMB approved the 

ICR, OMB control number 1205–0001, 

that allows the Department of Labor and 

Department of Education (the 

Departments) to collect information 

from States pertaining to work 

applications and job orders and their 

retention of that data. OMB granted 

approval for the ICR through September 

of 2022. 29 U.S.C. 49 (The WagnerPeyser Act) authorizes this information 

collection. 

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

Number. In addition, notwithstanding
