DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of the Secretary
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; IRAP Program and Performance Reports for
Standards Recognition Entities
ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting this Employment
and Training Administration (ETA)-sponsored information collection
request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review
and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are invited.
DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives
on or before October 2, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) if the information will be processed and used in a timely
manner; (3) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (4) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (5) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Crystal Rennie by telephone at 202-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection is authorized
under the National Apprenticeship Act (29 U.S.C. 50). This data
collection includes two reports for Standards Recognition Entities
(SREs): (1) A program report which is required within 30 days of
recognizing a new program or changing the status of a current program;
and (2) a performance report which is required on an annual basis for
each Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Program (IRAP) they recognize.
The information collected in these reports is aligned with the
amendments to 29 CFR part 29, as set forth in subpart B. Pursuant to
Sec. 29.22(h), SREs are required to report data that will reflect the
outcomes of the IRAPs it has recognized. Section 29.22(h) also requires
SREs to make publicly available certain data about IRAPs and
performance outcomes, which it must submit to the Department. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register on May 26, 2020 (85 FR 31551).
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.
