Approved in
concept; DOL addendum of 1/7/97. Because DOL has not provided
sufficient information with which to determine whether the
collection maximizes utility, one hour of burden is provided. DOL
shall develop a survey, or add a data element to the current form,
or provide another viable option that collects information on the
number of dislocated workers being retrained through Pell grants
and the amount of Pell grant funds expended. DOL must file with OMB
a plan to gather this data within 30 calendar days of this action
along with an ICW to increase the burden to the full amount
necessary to implement the collection. Upon next submission for OMB
review, ETA shall provide (1) compelling justification for
requiring 2 copies submitted and (2) an update on progress toward
electronic submission of this data, including an evaluation of the
current requirement of an original signature on the form. ETA
should consider use of the DOL web site as a medium for submission
of this information.
