SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for this information collection is 
in Sections 168 and 169 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act 
of 2014 (WIOA) (Pub. L. 113-128). Section 169 of WIOA authorizes the 
collection of both evaluations (section 169(a)) and research activities 
(section 169(b)). The ``quick turnaround'' surveys and site visits will 
focus on a variety of issues concerning governance, administration, 
funding, and service delivery for the broad spectrum of programs 
administered by ETA. These information collections will fill critical 
gaps in ETA's need for accurate, timely information to improve the 
ability of these programs to serve current and potential jobseekers as 
well as employers effectively and efficiently. For additional 
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2022 (87 FR 53010).
    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.
    Title of Collection: Generic Clearance for Quick Turnaround 
Surveys.
    OMB Control Number: 1205-0436.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households; State, Local, and 
Tribal Governments; Private Sector--Businesses or other for-profits and 
not-for-profit institutions.
