similar occurrences. These decisions 

will ultimately affect the safety and 

health of miners. Federal Mine Safety 

and Health Act of 1977 sections 101(a) 

and 103(h) authorize this information 

collection. See 30 U.S.C. 811(a), 813(h). 

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 1219–0116. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

October 31, 2017. 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 

June 16, 2017 (82 FR 27728). 

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 thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1219–0116. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the DOL-Only Performance 

Accountability, Information, and 

Reporting System. The following 

programs will be required to report 

through this system: Workforce 

Innovation and Opportunity Act 

(WIOA) Adult, Dislocated Worker and 

Youth, Wagner Peyser Employment 

Service, National Farmworker Jobs, 

Trade Adjustment Assistance, 

YouthBuild, Indian and Native 

American, Job Corps, and Jobs for 

Veterans’ State Grants. Requiring these 

programs to use a standard set of data 

elements, definitions, and specifications 

at all levels of the workforce system 

helps improve the quality of the 

performance information that is 

received by the DOL. While H1–B 

grants, the Reintegration of Ex-Offenders 

program, and the Trade Adjustment 

Assistance program are not authorized 

under the WIOA, these programs will be 

utilizing the data element definitions 

and reporting templates proposed in 

this ICR. The accuracy, reliability, and 

comparability of program reports 

submitted by states and grantees using 

Federal funds are fundamental elements 

of good public administration, and are 

necessary tools for maintaining and 

demonstrating system integrity. This 

ICR includes several information 

collection instruments—Program 

Performance Report, WIOA Pay-forPerformance Report, Participant 

Individual Record Layout, WIOA Data 

Element Specifications, and Job

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 208 / Monday, October 30, 2017 / Notices 50163 

Openings Report. This ICR has been 

classified as a revision, because 

specified data elements, subpopulations, barriers to employment, 

and reporting templates have changed 

as some reporting requirements or data 

element definitions have been revised in 

an attempt to better align definitions 

across DOL programs, in a larger effort 

to reduce overall reporting burden. 

WIOA section 416(d) authorizes this 

information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 

3141(d). 

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 1205–0521. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on 

August 31, 2019; however, 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 upon OMB approval. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 23, 2017 (82 FR 23604).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Rehabilitation Plan and 

Award (Form OWCP–16) information 

collection. Vocational rehabilitation 

counselors use Form OWCP–16 to 

submit an agreed upon rehabilitation 

plan for OWCP approval. The form also 

documents any OWCP payment award 

for approved services. This information 

collection has been classified as a 

revision, because the agency has 

clarified several questions and 

disclosures. The agency also made 

formatting changes intended to make 

the form more user friendly. The 

Federal Employees’ Compensation Act 

and Longshore and Harbor Workers’ 

Compensation Act authorizes this 

information collection. See 5 U.S.C. 

8103, 8193; 33 U.S.C. 907.
