    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Cascades Job Corps College and Career Academy Pilot Evaluation. The Chief Evaluation Office of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has commissioned an impact and implementation evaluation of the Cascades Job Corps College and Career Academy Pilot program. More specifically, this ICR is seeking a revision of previously approved ICR (1290-0012) for the data collection activities for the evaluation of the CCCA pilot. The OASP seeks approval in this submission for: (1) A baseline information form to support the impact study, (2) tracking data to support the planned 18-month follow-up survey, and (3) stakeholder interview and student focus group discussion guides to support the implementation study. This information collection is a revision, because this is an extension request with changes. We are requesting to add additional site visits for semi-structured interviews. Some of the data collection activities (e.g., baseline information form) are no longer needed.

    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 the OMB, under the PRA, approves it 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. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1290-0012. The current approval is scheduled to expire on February 29, 2020; however, the DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB will receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on October 23, 2019 (84 FN 56841).

    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in the ADDRESSES section within thirty-(30) days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1290-0012. The OMB 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.
