receives on or before September 21, 2022.

information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection enables States 
to comply with regulations under 20 CFR 652 and the Wagner-Peyser Act, 
as amended. Work applications (commonly referred to as 
``registrations'') are used in American Job Centers (AJCs), also known 
as One-Stop Centers, for individuals seeking assistance in finding 
employment or employability development services. Job orders are used 
in AJCs to obtain information on employer job vacancies. Retention of 
data for three years is necessary (1) to align with other Wagner-Peyser 
Act requirements, (2) in the event of issues that may arise when 
information must be verified. For additional substantive information 
about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal 
Register on April 6, 2022 (87 FR 19976).
    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.
    Agency: DOL-ETA.

    OMB Control Number: 1205-0001.
