SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Quarterly Narrative Progress Report, Employment and 
Training Supplemental Budget Request Activities information collection. 
To monitor the progress of each State Workforce Agency in successfully 
implementing projects funded through Supplemental Budget Requests, this 
collection will request information including the funded project's 
title and purpose, timeline and milestones, and project implementation 
status. This information collection has been classified as a revision, 
because Form ETA-9178 will now cover Reemployment & Systems 
Integration--Dislocated Worker Grants. The ETA also updated the title 
of the collection to ``Quarterly Narrative Progress Report, Employment 
and Training Supplemental Budget Request Activities.'' Social Security 
Act section 303(a)(6) authorizes this information collection. See 42 
U.S.C. 503(a)(6).
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1205-0517. The DOL notes that existing information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month 
extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take 
effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about 
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on 
June 8, 2017 (82 FR 26714).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1205-0517. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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 submission of responses.
    Agency: DOL-ETA.
