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). 

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 

1205–0521. 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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Sealing of Abandoned Areas Standard 

information collection. The Standard 

includes reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements to help ensure the 

construction and maintenance of seals 

are done correctly; certified persons 

conducting sampling in sealed areas are 

adequately trained, and problems can be 

found and corrected. 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) and 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 26952).
