SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting this Employment

(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that the agency 
receives on or before February 5, 2025.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Howell by telephone at 202-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This request fulfills Workforce Innovation 
and Opportunity Act (WIOA) reporting requirements regarding the 
collection of performance indicators described in sec. 116(b)(2)(A). 
Requirements for state level collection of this data for the programs 
contained in this collection are based on WIOA requirements.
    As part of this ICR, the Department of Labor's (DOL) Employment and 
Training Administration (ETA) has made changes to the Participant 
Individual Record Layout (ETA-9172), (Program) Performance Report (ETA-
9173-APPSHP) to facilitate State and grantee performance reporting. In 
particular, as part of DOL's effort to streamline program performance 
reporting for ETA grants with significant apprenticeship components as 
a primary goal of the program (Apprenticeship grants), DOL is adding 
the performance information collection requirements for Apprenticeship 
grants. DOL also is adding a new information collection requirement to 
this ICR: the Apprenticeship Outreach: Organization/Employer Record 
Layout. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the 
related notice published in the Federal Register on June 24, 2024 (89 
FR 52511).
    Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information 
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and 
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    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 approves it 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 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR

[[Page 683]]

cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes 
that information collection requirements submitted to the OMB for 
existing ICRs receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo 
review.

    Title of Collection: DOL-Only Performance Accountability, 
Information, and Reporting System.
    OMB Control Number: 1205-0521.
