Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker (MSFW) Monitoring Report and One-
Stop Career Center Complaint/Referral Record: Comments

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to 
reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance 
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing 
collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to 
ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, 
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. 
Currently, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is 
soliciting comments concerning the proposed three year extension of 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 date of 
September 30, 2008.

DATES: Submit comments on or before September 19, 2005.

Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Division of Adults and

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 record keeping 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 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.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

    Currently, the ETA is soliciting comments concerning the proposed 
three-year extension of 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 date of September 30, 2008:
     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 by including 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.
    A copy of the proposed information collection request (ICR) can be 
obtained by contacting the office listed above in the addressee section 
of this notice.
