Expiration Date: 06/30/2019

Justification for Non-material Change Request: This non-material change request is being submitted for the publication into record of public comments and the Departments’ responses as described in the 30-day comment Notice described below. The publication of this document will address and complete the clearance terms OMB issued to the Departments when approving this ICR.

A 30-day Federal Register (FRN) was published on April 26, 2016, to seek public comments on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Common Performance Reporting Information Collection Request (ICR) (Joint Performance ICR) (OMB ICR Reference Number 201604-1205-002) (81 FR 24654). A correction notice was published regarding the WIOA Joint Performance ICR on May 9, 2016, (OMB ICR Reference Number 201604-1205-008) (81 FR 28105) in order to correct a Web site and burden summary information that were contained in the initial Notice.

This document provides a summary of the 25 sets of public comments received in response to the 30-day comment Notice on the Joint Performance ICR and the Departments’ responses to those comments. The Departments have organized this Summary of Comments and Responses by issues raised by the commenters, grouping similar comments together. This document primarily focuses on those comments and responses that raise substantive concerns for the WIOA performance ICRs (both joint and program-specific) and, therefore, we have not included comments expressing support or appreciation for the ICRs.
