DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Emergency Review; Comment Request

February 1, 2005.
    The Department of Labor has submitted the following information 
collection request (ICR), utilizing emergency review procedures, to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-13, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). OMB approval has been requested by March 9, 
2005. A copy of this ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may 
be obtained by calling the Department of Labor's Departmental Clearance 
Officer, Ira L. Mills at (202) 693-4122 (this is not a toll-free 
number); via e-mail at: [email protected]; or (202) 693-7755 (TTY). The 
State Planning Guidance may also be found at the Web site--http://www.doleta.gov/usworkforce.
    Comments and questions about the ICR listed below should be 
forwarded to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: 
OMB Desk Officer for the Employment and Training Administration, Room 
10235, Washington, DC 20503.
    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 submissions of responses.)
    Agency: Employment and Training Administration.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Planning Guidance and Instructions for Submission of the 
Strategic Five Year State Plan for Title I of the Workforce Investment 
Act of 1998 (WIA) and the Wagner Peyser Act.
    OMB Number: 1205-0398.
    Frequency: Every five years.
    Type of Response: Reporting.
    Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Total Respondents: 59.
    Number of Responses: 59.
    Total Burden: 1,475.
    Total Annualized Capital/Startup Cost): $ 0.
    Total Annual Costs (Operating/Maintaining Systems or Purchasing 
Services): $ 0.
    Description: All current WIA State Plans will expire June 30, 2005. 
It is unlikely that Congress will pass a reauthorized Workforce 
Investment Act (WIA) before that time. Therefore, the enclosed Proposed 
WIA Planning Guidance is designed to advise States about how to 
continue their WIA Title I and Wagner Peyser Act programs under Public 
Law 105-220.

Ira L. Mills,
Departmental Clearance Officer.
