SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection activity 
provides a means to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an 
efficient, timely manner in accordance with the Administration's 
commitment to improving customer service delivery as discussed in 
Section 280 of OMB Circular A-11. As discussed in OMB guidance, 
agencies should identify their highest-impact customer journeys (using 
customer volume, annual program cost, and/or knowledge of customer 
priority as weighting factors) and select touchpoints/transactions 
within those journeys to collect feedback. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on September 11, 2023 (88 FR 62401).
    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,

[[Page 89730]]

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.
