SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL 

is seeking OMB reauthorization of the 

information collection sponsored by the 

Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) titled, ‘‘American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 

High Growth and Emerging Industries 

(HGEI) Grants Information Collection. 

President Obama signed the ARRA 

into law by on February 17, 2009. 

Among other funding directed to the 

DOL, the ARRA provides $750 million 

for a program of competitive grants for 

worker training and placement in high 

growth and emerging industries, the 

ARRA HGEI grants. It is critical to 

record the impact of these ARRA 

resources, current information on 

participants in these grants, and the 

services provided to them. Therefore, to 

obtain comprehensive information on 

participants served by and services 

provided with ARRA resources, DOL 

proposes an extension with revisions of 

an information collection set for ARRA 

HGEI grantees. 

The ARRA HGEI Grants information 

collection constitutes an information 

collection within the meaning of the 

PRA. Under the PRA, a Federal agency 

generally cannot conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it is 

currently approved by the OMB under 

the PRA and displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. Furthermore, the 

public is generally not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it 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 if the 

collection of information does not 

display a currently valid OMB control 

number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 

1320.6. 

The DOL obtains OMB approval for 

this information collection under OMB 

Control Number 1205–0478. The current 

OMB approval is scheduled to expire on 

October 31, 2010. For additional 

information, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 17, 2010 (75 FR 27584). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to ensure the appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

reference OMB Control Number 1220– 

0032. The OMB 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 

• 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.
