    The Department of Labor has submitted the following (see below) 
emergency processing public information collection request (ICR) to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35). OMB approval has been requested by September 16, 1996. A copy of 
this ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by 
calling the Department of Labor Acting Departmental Clearance Officer,

Officer for the Employment and Training Administration, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503 ((202) 395-
7316).
    The Office of Management and Budget 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 
submissions of response.
    Agency: Employment and Training Administration.

    Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup):

    Note: Currently the WOTC is an unfunded mandate. However, the 
House in its 1997 appropriation report, states that the Committee 
intends to provide funds after the legislation is enacted. It is 
expected that future Congressional action will follow through with 
this funding.

    Total Burden Cost (operating/maintaining): $0.
    Description: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has 
oversight responsibilities for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) 
under the Small Business Jobs Protection act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-188). 
Data collected on the WOTC will be collected by the State Employment 
Security Agencies and provided to the U.S. Employment Service, Division 
of Planning and Operations, Washington, D.C., through the appropriate 
U.S. Department of Labor, Regional Office. The data will be used, 
primarily, for program management, including monitoring, oversight and 
the identification of technical assistance and training requirements. 
The data is also provided to the congress through an annual Training 
and Employment Report of the Secretary of Labor. The information 
reported on ETA Form 8588, TJTC Verification Results, required by 
Public Law 97-248 (Attachment 3) will be reported annually to the 
Committee House Ways and Means of the House of Representatives.

Acting Department Clearance Officer.
