SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) is
an existing collection in use without an OMB Control Number. The WRP is
a recruitment and referral program that connects students with
disabilities to an opportunity for employment. Through participating
colleges and universities, WRP creates a database for Federal and
select private-sector employers nationwide to find highly motivated
college students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager
to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through summer or
permanent jobs. Candidates represent all majors, and range from college
freshmen to graduate students and law students. Information from these
candidates is compiled in a searchable database that is available
through this website to Federal Human Resources Specialists, Equal
Employment Opportunity Specialists, and other Federal employees and
hiring officials in Federal agencies. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on March 24, 2021 (86 FR 15713).
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.
