OMB understands that DOL intends to implement this POS ICR upon clearance (with a reasonable period for State implementation). OMB is pleased that DOL is working to implement the POS collection in conjunction with the implementation of WISPR. When DOL makes decisions on the time line for WISPR implementation (but no later than March 2009) it will brief OMB on the implementation of the POS collection, and progress/timing for integration into WISPR. DOL will provide OMB with milestones and timeframes for both ICRs.

The priority of service provision ensures that veterans/and other covered persons have access to and receive priority in receiving the full array of services available from DOL funded programs/grants operated either independently or through the One-Stop delivery system. There are two contexts in which priority of service applies  individual programs and grants, and the integrated One-Stop delivery system. Once these data requirements for priority of service are in place, they will amend current Employment and Training Administration reporting mechanisms.
The increase in burden hours results from new information collection requirements contained in the final rule for 20 CFR Part 1010 which are necessary to support the implementation of the priority of service provisions contained in the Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA). These provisions provide that veterans and certain spouses of veterans (together comprising the category of covered persons) are entitled to priority over non-covered persons for the receipt of employment, training, and placement services provided under new or existing qualified job training programs.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
