DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

July 1, 1996.
    The Department of Labor (DOL) has submitted the following public 
information collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Copies of 
these individual ICRs, with applicable supporting documentation, may be 
obtained by calling the Department of Labor Acting Departmental 
Clearance Officer, Theresa M. O'Malley ( 202  219-5095). Individuals 
who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TTY/TDD) may call  
202  219-4720 between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday 
through Friday.
    Comments should be sent to Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the Employment and Training 
Administration, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, 
Washington, DC 20503 (202 395-7316), within 30 days from the date of 
this publication in the Federal Register.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
<bullet> 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;
<bullet> 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;
<bullet> enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and
<bullet> 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.
    Agency: Employment and Training Administration.
    Title: JTPA Section 401 General Waiver Regulation.
    Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently approved 
collection.
    OMB Number: 1205-0366.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local or 
Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 75.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 3 hours.
    Total Burden Hours: 225.
    Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: 0.
    Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing 
services): 0.
    Description: The Employment and Training Administration requires 
information on the provisions of the amended Job Training Partnership 
Act (JTPA), section 401 regulations at 20 CFR 632.70. These provisions 
allow Indian and Native American JTPA grantees to seek a waiver of the 
nonstatutory provisions of the current regulations at 20 CFR Parts 632 
and 636. This general waiver request capability is already available to 
the Governors at 20 CFR 627.201, and to those section 401 grantees 
participating in the demonstration under Public Law 102-477 (Indian 
Employment, Training and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992). 
The information to be collected is in support of any such waiver 
request(s) submitted by section 401 grantees pursuant to 20 CFR 632.70, 
and is necessary to allow DOL officials to make intelligent and 
informed decisions on the waiver requests received. Without such 
supplementary information, it would be impossible for the Department to 
grant any waivers to existing regulations. There are no continuing 
information requirements associated with this collection. Such 
collection is only mandated when a waiver request is submitted by a 
grantee, and serves no purpose other than to evaluate the merits of the 
waiver request.
Theresa M. O'Malley,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
