SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Jobs for Veterans State 

Grants Reports information collection. 

The VETS administers funds for multiyear Jobs for Veterans State Grants given 

to each State, the District of Columbia, 

Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and 

Guam on an annual basis on a fiscal 

year cycle. This information collection 

is used to facilitate the identification of 

required programmatic and financial 

data provided by States requesting and 

expending funds and for monitoring the 

grants, making quarterly adjustments, 

and reporting results to Congress. The 

use of program-specific standard 

formats helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in a uniform way, 

reporting burdens are minimized, the 

impact of collection requirements on 

respondents are properly assessed, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood by respondents, and the 

information is easily consolidated for 

posting in accordance with statutory 

requirements. Reporting instruments 

under this ICR are: Manager’s Report on 

Services to Veterans and Forms VETS– 

201, VETS–401, VETS–402A, VETS– 

501, and VETS–601. This information 

collection has been classified as a 

revision, because the VETS has adopted 

clarifying changes submitted by users to 

Form VETS–201. These changes are 

more fully explained in the ICR. The 

Training and Rehabilitation for Veterans 

with Service Connected Disabilities Act, 

Job Counseling, Training, and 

Placement Service for Veterans Act, 

Employment and Training of Veterans 

Act, and Employment Assistance, Job 

Training Assistance and other 

Transitional Services Act authorize this 

information collection. See 38 U.S.C. 31, 

38 U.S.C. 41, 38 U.S.C. 42, and 10 

U.S.C. 1144. 

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 1293–0009. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. New 

requirements would only take effect

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Carrier’s Report of Issuance of Policy 

(Form LS–570) that an authorized 

insurance carrier may use to report the 

policy of insurance issued for each 

insured employer. This form is to be 

sent to the Deputy Commissioner in the 

compensation district indicated by the 

employer’s address. Longshore and 

Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act 

(LHWCA) section 32(a) requires each 

covered employer to secure its LHWCA 

liabilities either by purchasing a policy 

of insurance from an authorized carrier 

or by qualifying as a self-insurer. See 33 

U.S.C. 932(a). Regulations 20 CFR 

703.116 requires an authorized carrier to 

report to the OWCP each policy the 

carrier has issued to an employer. 

LHWCA section 32(a) authorizes this 

information collection. See 33 U.S.C. 

932(a). 

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 1240–0004. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the DOL seeks to extend 

PRA authorization for this information 

collection for three (3) more years, 

without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL 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 3, 2015 (80 FR 46057).
