DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Office of the Secretary 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Labor (DOL) 

hereby announces the submission of 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 

(Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35). 

A copy of this ICR, with applicable 

supporting documentation; including, 

among other things, a description of the 

likely respondents, proposed frequency 

of response, and estimated total burden 

may be obtained from the RegInfo.gov 

Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/ 

public/do/PRAMain or by contacting 

Linda Watts Thomas on 202–693–4223 

(this is not a toll-free number) and 

e-mail mail to: 

DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the 

Department of Labor—Employment and 

Training Administration, Room 10235, 

Washington, DC 20503, Telephone: 

202–395–7316/Fax 202–395–5806 (these 

are not toll-free numbers), e-mail: 

OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov within 

30 days from the date of this publication 

in the Federal Register. In order to 

ensure the appropriate consideration, 

comments should reference the 

applicable OMB Control Number (see 

below). 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

(1) 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; 

(2) 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; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) 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. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Title of Collection: Quick Turnaround 

Surveys of the Workforce Investment 

Act. 

OMB Control Number: 1205–0436. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Affected Public: State and local 

workforce agencies and workforce 

investment boards, and WIA partner 

program agencies at the state and local 

levels. 

Cost to Federal Government: $0. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

From 54 to 250 respondents per survey, 

for up to 20 surveys. 

Total Number of Responses: From 54 

to 250 responses per survey, for up to 

20 surveys. 

Total Burden Hours: From 72 to 7,500 

per survey. 

Total Hour Burden Cost (Operating/ 

Maintaining): $0. 

Description: ETA, in its role of 

providing broad program oversight and 

policy development, needs accurate, 

timely information on how services and 

systems under WIA are unfolding and 

on the challenges and successes states 

and local areas encounter. Only in this 

way can it properly discharge its 

obligations to issue policy clarifications, 

regulations and technical assistance. 

This need is particularly acute given 

that the workforce development system 

has been evolving rapidly in the several 

years since WIA was enacted. It is 

expected that WIA will continue to 

change rapidly, as Congress is currently 

considering its reauthorization, with 

multiple potential changes. However, 

much of the information available to 

ETA on key operational issues is 

impressionistic or anecdotal in nature, 

based on hearsay or unsystematic 

observations, and not accurate as to the 

incidence or scope nationally. When 

accurate nationwide information is 

available, as from long-term in-depth 

evaluation studies, it is often not timely. 

Thus ETA has a need for accurate and 

timely information that can be found 

only with systematic quick turnaround 

studies. For additional information, see 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on March 30, 2010, (Vol. 75 

page 15726).
