Comment Request for Information Collection for Work Application/
Job Order Recordkeeping, Extension Without Revisions

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (Department), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a

agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing 
collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps 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, ETA is soliciting comments concerning the collection of 
data about the collection of data concerning the extension without 
changes of the data retention required by 20 CFR 652.8(d)(5) of the 
Wagner-Peyser Act, which requires each state to retain applications and 
job orders for a minimum of one year. The current expiration date for 
this information collection request is June 30, 2013.
