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.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act authorizes the
collection of information from Job Corps applicants to determine
eligibility for the Job Corps program. 29 U.S.C. 3194-3195.
20 CFR 686.945 provides the procedures for the management of Job
Corps student records. Applicant and student data is maintained in
accordance with the Department of Labor's (Department) Privacy Act
System of Records Notice (SORN) DOL/GOVT-2 Job Corps Student Records,
81 FR 25765. This information collection requests information about Job
Corps applicants' medical needs and health conditions and is reviewed
when a Job Corps applicant is deemed eligible for the program and
conditionally enrolled. authorizes this information collection.
Revisions to this ICR include the mode by which applicant health
information is collected. The applicant health information is completed
by the applicant in a digital format rather than a paper-based format
resulting in reduction in average response time. In addition to this
change, oral health information has been removed from this information
collection. It is no longer necessary to collect this information
because Job Corps no longer offers oral health services. Authorizations
related to oral health care have also been removed. The language at the
beginning of the ICR clarifies Job Corps provides access to basic
medical, mental health, and substance use prevention services.
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
1205-0033.
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 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).
