Proposed Collection; Comment Request
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent burden conducts a preclearance
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing
collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(A)). This program helps to
ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, the Employment and Training Administration is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed extension collection of data contained
on the Job Order and Work Application.
A copy of the proposed information collection request can be
obtained by contacting the office listed in the addressees section of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the
addressees section below on or before January 16, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
States collect basic labor exchange information, using a system of
their choice. The exact information to be collected is determined by
the State. It is information that is essential to the operation of the
labor exchange job placement service and normally collected as part of
Job Matching. At a minimum, information to be collected is that which
enables the State to comply with regulations at 20 CFR part 652, and
the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended. The requirement to retain
information under 20 CFR 652.8(d)(5) is: ``Each State shall retain
basic documents for the minimum period specified below:''
(i) work application: one year
(ii) Job order: one year.''
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments
which:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
