SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce 
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation 
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an 
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of 
information before submitting them to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for final approval. This program helps to ensure 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 can be properly 
assessed.
    ETA provides grant recipients with software that reflects the 
requirements of the ETA-9130 so grant recipients can report the 
required data electronically. This data collection format permits ETA 
to evaluate program effectiveness and to monitor and analyze financial 
activity, while complying with OMB efforts to streamline Federal 
financial reporting.
    The proposed information collection request seeks an extension of 
the series of ETA-9130 forms (OMB Control No. 1205-0461) grant 
recipients currently use for financial reporting for all ETA programs. 
In addition, ETA seeks to add a new reporting line, Training 
Expenditures, to the ETA-9130 forms (A-F) used for the Workforce 
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult, Youth, and Dislocated 
Worker programs. The funds reported in this line item represent the 
cumulative amount for training services provided to program 
participants. The following sections of WIOA (Pub. L. 113-128) 
authorize this information collection:

WIOA Sec. 116. (d)(2)(F)

    (2) Contents of State Performance Reports.--
    (F) In General.--The performance report for a state should include 
the average cost per participant of those participants who received 
career and training services, respectively, during the most recent 
program year and the three preceding program years

WIOA Sec. 185(c)(1)

    (c) Grantee Information Responsbilities
    (1) In General.--Each state, each local board, and each recipient 
receiving funds under this title shall make readily accessible such 
reports concerning its operations and expenditures as shall be 
prescribed by the Secretary.

WIOA Sec. 185(d)(1)(D)

    (d) Information To Be Included in Reports
    (1) In General.--The reports required in subsection (c) shall 
include information regarding programs and activities carried out under 
this title pertaining to specified costs of the programs and 
activities.
    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 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.
    Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the 
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to 
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 
1205-0461.
    Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this 
ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages 
commenters not to include personally identifiable information, 
confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information 
in any comments.
    DOL 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).
