ensure that 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 on respondents can be properly assessed.

soliciting comments concerning the proposed three year extension of
the, Services to Migrant and Seasonal Farm Workers Report, ETA Form
5148, and the One-Stop Career Center Complaint/Referral Record, ETA
Form 8429 from the current end date of September 30, 2005 to new end
date of September 30, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Employment and Training Administration regulations at 20 CFR 651,
653 and 658 under the Wagner Peyser Act, as amended by the Workforce
Investment Act of 1998, set forth requirements to ensure that Migrant
and Seasonal Farmworkers (MSFWs) receive services that are
qualitatively equivalent and quantitatively proportionate to the
services provided to non-MSFWs. In compliance with 20 CFR 653.109, the
Department of Labor established recordkeeping requirements to allow for
the efficient and effective monitoring of State Workforce Agencies'
(SWAs) regulatory compliance. The ETA Form 5148, Services to Migrant
and Seasonal Farm Workers Report, is used to collect data which are
primarily used to
[[Page 39798]]
monitor and measure the extent and effectiveness of SWA service
delivery to MSFWs. The ETA Form 8429, One-Stop Career Center Compliant
Referral Record, is used to collect and document complaints filed by
MSFWs and non-MSFWs pursuant to the regulatory framework established at
20 CFR 658.400.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the ETA is soliciting comments concerning the proposed
three-year extension of the Services to Migrant and Seasonal Farm
Workers Report, ETA Form 5148, and the One-Stop Career Center
Complaint/Referral Record, ETA Form 8429 from the current end date of
September 30, 2005 to new end date of September 30, 2008:

are to respond by including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
