SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

190 of the Workforce Innovation and 

Opportunity Act (WIOA) (Pub. L. 113– 

128, July 22, 2014) permits states to 

apply for Workflex waiver authority. 

The Act and 20 CFR 679.630 provide 

that the Secretary may grant Workflex 

waiver authority for up to five years 

pursuant to a Workflex plan submitted 

by a state. Under Workflex, governors 

are granted the authority to approve 

requests submitted by their local areas 

to waive certain statutory and regulatory 

provisions of WIOA Title I programs. 

For additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 8, 2021 (86 FR 1527). 

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 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

prohibited transaction described in 

section 406(a)(1)(C) of the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) 

generally prohibits the furnishing of 

goods, services, or facilities between a 

plan and a party in interest to the plan. 

Since ERISA defines any person 

furnishing services to the plan as a 

‘‘party in interest’’ to the plan, a service 

relationship between a plan and a 

service provider would constitute a 

prohibited transaction under section 

406(a)(1)(C) in the absence of relief. 

Section 408(b)(2) of ERISA provides 

relief, however, for service contracts or 

arrangements if the contract or 

arrangement is ‘‘reasonable,’’ if the 

services are necessary for the 

establishment or operation of the plan, 

and if no more than ‘‘reasonable’’ 

compensation is paid for the services. 

For additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 31, 2021 (86 FR 16787).
