SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) is 
an existing collection in use without an OMB Control Number. The WRP is 
a recruitment and referral program that connects students with 
disabilities to an opportunity for employment. Through participating 
colleges and universities, WRP creates a database for Federal and 
select private-sector employers nationwide to find highly motivated 
college students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager 
to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through summer or 
permanent jobs. Candidates represent all majors, and range from college 
freshmen to graduate students and law students. Information from these 
candidates is compiled in a searchable database that is available 
through this website to Federal Human Resources Specialists, Equal 
Employment Opportunity Specialists, and other Federal employees and 
hiring officials in Federal agencies. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on March 24, 2021 (86 FR 15713).
    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.
