     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 submissions of responses.

    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 
informated 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.
