SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This collection is authorized under the 
Social Security Act, Title III, Section 303(a)(6). The ETA National and 
Regional Offices use the Quarterly Narrative Progress Report, 
Employment and Training Supplemental Budget Request Activities to 
monitor the progress of State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) in implementing 
supplemental grant projects. ETA provides supplemental grants for SWAs 
to prevent and detect improper benefit payments, improve state 
performance, and address outdated information technology (IT) system 
infrastructures. For additional substantive information about this ICR, 
see the related notice published in the Federal Register on September 
28, 2020 (85 FR 60832).
    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.
