Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce
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.
Authorized by the 2014 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA), Job Corps is administered federally through the Department of
Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Job Corps.
Applicant and student data are maintained in accordance with the
Department of Labor's (Department) Privacy Act System of Records Notice
(SORN) DOL/GOVT-2 Job Corps Student Records. These forms collect
initial data to determine eligibility and to collect socio-demographic
characteristics and employment barrier information that are required
for reporting under WIOA, and are used for program planning,
evaluation, and reporting purposes. Revisions to the collection of
information include: (1) incorporating plain language, (2) removing
redundancies to streamline operations, and (3) updating application
information to align with Job Corps admissions policies. This
collection also adds the customer interest form, which is the initial
piece of the application in which applicants express interest in the
program and create an account.
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 it is approved by OMB 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
1205-0025.
Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this
ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally identifiable
[[Page 41413]]
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).
