SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Implementation Study information collection. More specifically, this ICR seeks clearance for a survey data collection activity conducted as part of a WIOA implementation evaluation. WIOA section 169 authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 3324. This proposed 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 if the collection of information does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on February 23, 2018 (83 FR 8110).
