Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce
[[Page 71929]]
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of
information before submitting them to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for final approval. This program helps to ensure 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 can be properly
assessed.
Job Corps is the nation's largest residential, educational, and
career technical training program for the economically disadvantaged
youths. The Economic Opportunity Act established Job Corps in 1964, and
it currently operates under the authority of the Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014. For over 56 years, Job Corps has
helped prepare over three million at-risk young people between the ages
of 16 and 24 for success in our nation's workforce. With 121 centers in
50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, Job Corps assists
students across the nation in attaining academic credentials, including
High School Diplomas (HSD) and/or High School Equivalency (HSE), and
career technical training credentials, including industry-recognized
certifications, state licensures, and pre-apprenticeship credentials.
Job Corps is a national program administered by the U.S. Department
of Labor (DOL) through the Office of Job Corps and six Regional
Offices. DOL awards and administers contracts for the recruiting and
screening of new students, center operations, and the placement and
transitional support of graduates and former enrollees. Large and small
corporations and nonprofit organizations manage and operate 95 Job
Corps centers under contractual agreements with DOL. These contract
Center Operators are selected through a competitive procurement process
that evaluates potential operators' technical expertise, proposed
costs, past performance, and other factors, in accordance with the
Competition in Contracting Act and the Federal Acquisition Regulations.
Many of the current contractors operate more than one center. The two
centers operated under demonstration grants are run by the State of
Idaho and the National Guard Job Challenge program respectively. Of the
121 current centers, 24 are managed and operated by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture--Forest Service (USDA) through an interagency agreement.
Additionally, there are 26 public colleges and universities operating
Job Corps Scholars Program demonstration grants.
The Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA), Section 116(b) (2)
(A) (i), Section 159(c) (4) and Section 156 (a) authorizes this
information collection.
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 OMB approves the collection under the PRA 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.
Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB control number
1205-0219.
Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this
ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally identifiable information,
confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information
in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in comments that:
<bullet> 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;
<bullet> 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;
<bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
<bullet> 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)
