Comment Request for Information Collection for Reintegration of 
Ex-Offenders-Adult Reporting System, Extension With Revisions

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (Department), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a 
preclearance consultation program to provide the 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 [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)] (PRA). The PRA helps ensure that 
respondents can provide requested data in the desired format with 
minimal reporting burden (time and financial resources), collection 
instruments are clearly understood and the impact of collection 
requirements on respondents can be properly assessed.
    Currently, ETA is soliciting comments concerning the information 
collection request (ICR) to collect data about the extension of the 
currently approved reporting and recordkeeping system to support the 
Reintegration of Ex-Offenders-Adult (RExO-Adult) grants, which expires 
on May 31, 2015.
    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: 
1025-0455.

DATES: Submit written comments to the office listed in the addresses 
section below on or before June 1, 2015.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation, 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In applying for the Reintegration of Ex-Offender-Adult grants, 
applicants agree to submit participant data and quarterly aggregate 
reports for individuals who receive services through RExO-Adult 
programs and their partnerships with American Job Centers, local 
Workforce Investment Boards, employment providers, the criminal justice 
system, and local housing authorities. The reports include aggregate 
data on demographic characteristics, types of services received, 
placements, outcomes, and follow-up status. Specifically, they 
summarize data on participants who received employment and placement 
services, housing assistance, mentoring, and other services essential 
to reintegrating ex-offenders through RExO-Adult programs.
    The Department requests an extension of the currently approved 
information collection to meet the reporting and record-keeping 
requirements of the Reintegration of Ex-Offenders-Adult grants through 
an ETA-provided, Web-based Management Information System (MIS). In 
addition to reporting participant information and performance-related 
outcomes, RExO-Adult grantees demonstrate their ability to establish 
effective partnerships with the criminal justice system, local 
Workforce Investment Boards, local housing authorities, and other 
partner agencies. They also document the cost effectiveness of their 
projects. The MIS reporting and record-keeping system incorporates each 
of these aspects necessary for program evaluation.
    This information collection maintains a reporting and record-
keeping system for a minimum level of information collection that is 
necessary to comply with Equal Opportunity requirements, to hold RExO-
Adult grantees appropriately accountable for the Federal funds they 
receive, including common performance measures, and to allow the 
Department to fulfill its oversight and management responsibilities.

II. Review Focus

    The Department 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;
     Valuate 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.
