Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks PRA authority to separate the 

American Time Use Survey (ATUS) 

Eating and Health Supplement, which 

was previously collected as part of the 

master ATUS information collection 

approved under Control Number 1220– 

0175, into a new Control Number. The 

separation will provide greater 

flexibility in managing this episodic 

information collection without needing 

to revisit more permanent aspects of the 

ATUS. The Eating and Health 

Supplement module includes questions 

about peoples’ eating and drinking 

behaviors, food assistance participation, 

grocery and meal shopping, food 

preparation, and food sufficiency. The 

Supplement also includes questions on 

general health and physical exercise. 

Information collected in the 

Supplement will be published as a 

public use data set to facilitate research 

on numerous topics, such as the 

association between eating patterns, 

physical activity, and Body Mass Index; 

time-use patterns of food assistance 

program participants and low-income 

nonparticipants; and how time-use 

varies by health status. The Supplement 

surveys individuals aged 15 and up 

from a nationally representative sample. 

This proposed 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 Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For 

additional information, see the related 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on July 29, 2013 (78 FR 45567). 

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 

mention OMB Reference Number 

201307–1220–005. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

ETA to conduct quick turnaround 

surveys on Workforce Investment Act 

(WIA) related issues. Specifically, this 

ICR is to clear a generic framework to 

obtain expedited OMB approval for each 

ad hoc WIA quick turnaround survey 

that will focus on an emerging topic of 

pressing policy interest. Much of the 

information available to the ETA on key 

operational issues is impressionistic or 

anecdotal in nature, based on hearsay or 

unsystematic observations, and not 

sufficiently accurate as to national 

incidence or scope. Obtaining accurate 

nationwide information through longterm and in-depth evaluation studies 

often will not provide timely results. 

The ETA, thus, has an ongoing need for 

accurate and timely information that 

can be found only with systematic quick 

turnaround studies. Depending on the 

nature of the questions, the ETA would 

administer surveys at either the state or 

local workforce area level or some 

combination of both together. This ICR 

might entail surveys of State Workforce 

Agencies, local Workforce Boards, 

American Job Centers, Employment 

Service offices, and offices of other 

local-area partners. 

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 1205–0436. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

November 30, 2013. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL also notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 8, 2013, (78 FR 48464). 

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
