program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for final
approval. This program helps to ensure
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 can be properly assessed.
Section 190 of the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA) (Public Law 113–128, July 22,
2014) permits states to apply for
Workflex waiver authority. The Act and
20 CFR 679.630 provide that the
Secretary may grant Workflex waiver
authority for up to five years pursuant
to a Workflex plan submitted by a state.
Under Workflex, governors are granted
the authority to approve requests
submitted by their local areas to waive
certain statutory and regulatory
provisions of WIOA Title I programs.
States may request waivers from the
Secretary of certain requirements of the
Wagner-Peyser Act (Sections 8–10) as
well as certain provisions of the Older
American Act of 1965 (OAA) (42 U.S.C.
305d(b)) for state agencies on aging with
respect to activities carried out using
funds allotted under OAA section
506(b). One of the underlying principles
for granting Workflex waivers is that the
waivers will result in improved
performance outcomes for persons
served and that the waiver authority
will be granted in consideration of
improved performance.
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 it is
approved by OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Number:1205–0432.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and

posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,
or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• 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 submission
of responses).
