reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, 
collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of 
collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed.

the, Services to Migrant and Seasonal Farm Workers Report, ETA Form 
5148, and the One-Stop Career Center Complaint/Referral Record, ETA 
Form 8429 from the current end date of September 30, 2005 to new end

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    Employment and Training Administration regulations at 20 CFR 651, 
653 and 658 under the Wagner Peyser Act, as amended by the Workforce 
Investment Act of 1998, set forth requirements to ensure that Migrant 
and Seasonal Farmworkers (MSFWs) receive services that are 
qualitatively equivalent and quantitatively proportionate to the 
services provided to non-MSFWs. In compliance with 20 CFR 653.109, the 
Department of Labor established recordkeeping requirements to allow for 
the efficient and effective monitoring of State Workforce Agencies' 
(SWAs) regulatory compliance. The ETA Form 5148, Services to Migrant 
and Seasonal Farm Workers Report, is used to collect data which are 
primarily used to

[[Page 39798]]

monitor and measure the extent and effectiveness of SWA service 
delivery to MSFWs. The ETA Form 8429, One-Stop Career Center Compliant 
Referral Record, is used to collect and document complaints filed by 
MSFWs and non-MSFWs pursuant to the regulatory framework established at 
20 CFR 658.400.
