SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Program Reporting and Performance Standards System for 
Indian and Native Americans Program Under Title 1, Section 166 of the 
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, OMB Control No. 1205-0422 
contains two forms: ETA 9084, Comprehensive Services Program, and ETA 
9085, Supplemental Youth Services Program. It also includes standard 
data elements for participants, the basis of the current performance 
standards system for WIOA section 166 grantees. ETA 9084 is completed 
by both tribal and non-profit private sector grantees. ETA 9085 is 
completed only by tribal grantees. This information collection is a 
revision, because this information collection request (ICR) is

[[Page 5250]]

being submitted as revision in order to extend the expiration date 
beyond its current expiration, January 31, 2020. Extending the 
reporting and recordkeeping system is necessary in order to include 
data collection necessary for tracking grantee performance on the 
common performance measures currently tracked for the Comprehensive 
Services Program and the Supplemental Youth Services program. The prior 
ICR stated that Form ETA-9085 was submitted quarterly when it should 
have stated semi-annually. This ICR corrects that error. The prior ICR 
also included burden hours for ``collecting'' the data for the SPIR 
report which is different than ``submitting'' a SPIR report and 
therefore misrepresents the burden hours for submitting the SPIR. This 
ICR combines ETA Form 9084 and the SPIR as one report because ETA Form 
9084 is an aggregate (roll-up) of the individual records in the SPIR 
and both reports are uploaded simultaneously.
    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 the OMB, under the PRA, approves it 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 1205-0422. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on January 31, 2020; however, the DOL notes that existing 
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB will 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 November 15, 2019 (84 FR 62557).
    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 1205-0422. 
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.
