Non-Material Justification

Non-Substantive Change Request Justification

OMB 1205-0342

Petition Requirements and Investigative Data Collection: Trade Act of 1974, as Amended

In accordance with the Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) Notice of Proposed Rule-Making (RIN: 1205-AB78, 84 FR 60150), dated November 7, 2019, DOL/ETA is submitting a request to merge the information collection listed under the identified rule (1205-0NEW) with the subject ICR, 1205-0342, Petition Requirements and Investigative Data Collection: Trade Act of 1974, as Amended.

This non-material change is necessary to accommodate regulatory changes the Department proposed in the above-mentioned Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) RIN 1205-AB78. The Department did not submit the NPRM-related ICR under OMB Control Number 1205-0342 because at the time of the development of the NPRM, an extension request was already pending in the reginfo.gov database, and only one ICR per control number may be pending at OMB during any given time. The extension of OMB Control Number 1205-0342 was approved, and the DOL is now requesting that the new ICR now be listed under the correct OMB control number, 1205-0342.
