Chapter 35). Copies of these individual ICRs, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by calling the Department of Labor Acting Departmental Clearance Officer, Theresa M. O'Malley ( 202 219-5095). Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TTY/TDD) may call 202 219-4720 between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday. Comments should be sent to Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the Employment and Training Administration, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503 (202 395-7316), within 30 days from the date of this publication in the Federal Register. The OMB is particularly interested in comments which: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. Agency: Employment and Training Administration. Title: JTPA Section 401 General Waiver Regulation. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently approved collection. OMB Number: 1205-0366. Frequency: On occasion. Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government. Number of Respondents: 75. Estimated Time Per Respondent: 3 hours. Total Burden Hours: 225. Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: 0. Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing services): 0. 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 informed 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. [FR Doc. 96-17275 Filed 7-5-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-M
