SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under this clearance, ETA collects data from 
state workforce agencies and local workforce investment areas on a 
quick turnaround basis. ETA proposes to conduct 8 to 20 short surveys 
of up to 30 questions that would provide timely information identifying 
the scope and magnitude of various practices or problems nationally. 
The surveys are needed to understand key operational issues in light of 
the Administration's policy priorities and of other partner programs. 
For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on January 22, 2020 (85 FR 
3721).
    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 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 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
