DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Proposed Collection; Comment Request
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent burden conducts a preclearance
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing
collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(a)). This program helps to
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.
Currently, the Employment and Training Administration is soliciting
comments on the survey that has been developed to collect customer
satisfaction information from service delivery areas who operate Summer
Youth Employment and Training Programs.
A copy of the proposed information collection request (ICR) can be
obtained by contacting the office listed below in the addressee section
of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the
addressee section below on or before January 5, 1998.
The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments
which:
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 submissions of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under the Job Training Partnership Act Program, title IIB, the
Department of Labor has established the Summer Youth Employment and
Training Program to: (1) Enhance the basic education skills of youth;
(2) encourage school completion or enrollment in supplementary or
alternative school programs; provide eligible youth with exposure to
the world of work; and (3) enhance the citizenship skills of youth. The
Department of Labor is responsible for overseeing these programs. As a
part of the Department's oversight responsibilities, ETA will conduct a
uniform survey of a representative sample of service delivery areas
(ADA's) to determine how the Department can effectively measure
customer satisfaction. The result of this survey will be used to assist
in the development of a comprehensive system for assessing customer
satisfaction with the summer program.
II. Current Actions
ETA has revised its monitoring instrument to collect more
information on customer satisfaction. This data will be used to
determine satisfaction experiences of program participants, work site
supervisors/employers and educational instructors. The information
obtained will permit the Department to fulfill requests from the U.S.
Congress, the Administration, the media and the public.
