the

Work Application/Job Order Recordkeeping information collection. Work 
applications (commonly referred to as the registrations) are used in 
One-Stop Career Centers for individuals seeking assistance in finding 
employment or employability development services. They are used to 
collect information such as applicants' identification, qualifications, 
work experience, and desired pay. They also include services provided 
to applicants, such as job development and/or referral to supportive 
service. Job orders are used in One-Stop Career Centers to obtain 
information on employer job vacancies. Information in the job orders 
include employer identification, job requirements, and/or pay 
information, as well as identification of persons referred, hired, or 
refused. The information is collected at the employer's request in 
order to publicize job vacancies.
    The information is collected by One-Stop Career Centers and posted 
on electronic job banks. 20 CFR 652.8(d)(5) authorizes this information 
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 49 (The Wagner Peyser Act).
    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 1205-0001.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on September 30, 2019. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register March 29, 2019.
    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 1205-0001. 
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.
