Short Statement: This information collection request (ICR) is being submitted in association with the Wagner-Peyser Act Staffing, Final Rule (88 FR 82658; RIN 1205-AC02). The revised regulations require States to use State merit staff to provide Wagner-Peyser Act ES services, including services provided to MSFWs under 20 CFR parts 653 and 658, although Colorado, Massachusetts, and Michigan may continue to use alternative staffing models to the same extent the Department previously authorized prior to the 2020 Wagner-Peyser Act Staffing Flexibility Final Rule (85 FR 592, January 6, 2020; RIN 1205-AB87). The Department is requiring that SMA functions at § 653.108 be performed by State merit staff in all States, including Colorado, Massachusetts, and Michigan. The Final Rule makes additional revisions to the ES regulations to strengthen the provision of services to MSFWs and to enhance the protections afforded by the Monitor Advocate System and the Complaint System. This ICR is necessary to support regulatory changes the Department is making in the Final Rule.
