Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as 

part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for final 

approval. This program helps to ensure 

requested data can be provided in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements can be properly assessed. 

ETA utilizes the data collection 

format to assess the effectiveness of ETA 

programs and to monitor and analyze 

the financial activity of its grantees, 

while complying with OMB efforts to 

streamline federal financial reporting. 

Grantees are provided with software 

that reflects the requirements of ETA 

Form 9130 so that the required data is 

reported electronically, permitting ease 

of ETA evaluation. 

ETA wants to provide clarification to 

the instructions regarding the Training 

Expenditures reporting line item on 

ETA–9130 forms for the Workforce 

Innovation and Opportunity Act 

(WIOA) Adult, Youth, and Dislocated 

Worker programs; the Trade Adjustment 

Assistance program; and the Indian and 

Native American programs. The funds 

reported in this line item represent the 

cumulative amount for training services 

provided to program participants. 

Financial reporting requirements for 

federal programs are prescribed by OMB 

under the Uniform Administrative 

Requirements, Cost Principles, and 

Audit Requirements for Federal Awards 

(2 CFR 200 et seq.), otherwise known as 

the Uniform Guidance. Additionally, 

with the passage of WIOA, there are 

numerous new statutory requirements 

that affect financial reporting, including 

new and/or revised limitations and 

baselines that require the addition or 

modification of existing ETA–9130 

reporting line items. 

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 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. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB control number 1205– 

0461. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. DOL encourages commenters 

not to include personally identifiable 

information, confidential business data, 

or other sensitive statements/ 

information in any comments. 

DOL 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/or 

• 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).

Section 236(a)(2)(D) of the Trade Act 

of 1974, as amended (Act), requires the 

Secretary to establish procedures for the 

distribution of funds remaining after the 

initial distribution under Section 

236(a)(2)(B)(i). Section 241 of the Trade 

Act of 1974, as amended, requires the 

Secretary of Labor to certify to the 

Secretary of the Treasury amounts 

necessary for each cooperating state to 

provide services and make payments 

under the Act. As such, states may 

request reserve funds to cover the costs 

of training, job search allowances and 

relocation allowances, employment and 

case management services, and state 

administration of these benefits before 

DOL issues the final distribution of state 

allocations. Reserve funds are 

distributed to states in accordance with 

20 CFR 618.920 on an as-needed basis 

in response to requests to provide 

monies to those states that experience 

large, unexpected layoffs, or otherwise 

have financial needs that are not met by 

their initial allocation. These funds are 

requested using the Form ETA–9117. 

Section 236(a)(2)(D) of the Trade Act of 

1974, as amended, authorizes this 

information collection. 

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
