Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 9, 2018 / Notices 1045 

revisions to the Workforce Innovation 

and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Common 

Performance Reporting information 

collection. The WIOA requires states to 

report on performance in core programs 

such as the Wagner-Peyser Act 

programs, the Adult, Dislocated Worker, 

and Youth programs, Adult Education 

and Family Literacy Act programs, and 

the Vocational Rehabilitation Act 

programs. This collection contains the 

data to be collected for the measure 

states are to use to report on 

performance. This information 

collection has been classified as a 

revision, because of changes to the 

WIOA Eligible Training Provider 

Performance Report (EPT) (DefinitionsOnly) (Form ETA–9171), WIOA Annual 

Statewide Performance Report (Form 

ETA–9169), and WIOA Joint PIRL (Form 

ETA–9170). Additionally, in this ICR, 

data elements related to training 

program information to the ETP 

Performance Report have been added. 

This additional information is necessary 

to facilitate the provision of more useful 

information to assist participants in 

choosing employment and training 

activities, and in choosing ETPs. Other 

changes include clarifying 

specifications and data elements as well 

as aligning the forms with published 

guidance and policy. WIOA section 116 

authorizes this information collection. 

See 29 U.S.C. 3141. 

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 1205–0526. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on 

August 31, 2019; however, the DOL 

notes that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

New requirements would only take 

effect upon OMB approval. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 19, 2017 (82 FR 6651). 

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 

1205–0526. 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.
