Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request; State 
Training Provider Eligibility Collection

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor's (DOL), Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA) is soliciting comments concerning a proposed 
extension for the authority to conduct the information collection 
request (ICR) titled, ``State Training Provider Eligibility 
Collection.'' This comment request is part of continuing DOL's efforts 
to reduce paperwork and respondent burden in accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all written comments received by 
September 26, 2022.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation; 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free by

(this is not a toll-free number) or by email at [email protected].

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 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.
    This ICR collects the required information for Training Provider 
Eligibility Collection, which is determined by the State. At a minimum, 
the information to be collected enables the State to comply with 
regulations under 20 CFR 680 and the Workforce Innovation and 
Opportunity Act.
    In June 2016, OMB approved the ICR under OMB control number 1205-
0523. This ICR allows the DOL to collect information from States 
pertaining to Eligible Training Provider List and to retain that data. 
OMB granted approval for the ICR through September of 2019, and again 
through October of 2022. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act 
authorizes this information collection.
    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 1205-0523.
    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.
