Proposed Information Collection Request for Migrant and Seasonal 
Farmworkers (MSFWs) Monitoring Report and One-Stop Career Center 
Complaint/Referral Record: Comment Request for Extension Without 
Revision

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL), 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 
without revision 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 beyond November 30, 2008. The current 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Information Collection Request 
(ICR) authorization number 1205-0039 expires on November 30, 2008. A 
copy of the proposed ICR can be obtained by contacting the office 
listed below in the addressee section of this notice or by accessing:

DATES: Submit comments on or before September 2, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The regulations at 20 CFR 651, 653, and 658 under the Wagner Peyser 
Act, as amended by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) 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, DOL 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

    The Department of Labor 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 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.
