SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Trade 
Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAAACCCT) 
Grants Round Four Evaluation information collection. The fourth round 
of the TAACCCT grants program continues to provide community colleges 
and other eligible institutions of higher education with funds to 
expand and improve their ability to deliver education and career 
training programs that can be completed in two years or less and are 
suited for workers who are eligible for training under the Trade 
Adjustment Assistance for Workers program. The Round 4 evaluation will 
include an impact study involving random assignment and an 
implementation analysis. This ICR requests clearance for (1) collecting 
baseline information on participants of interventions in the Round 4 
grantees selected for the impact study and (2) semi-structured 
fieldwork in the form of site visits to up to nine Round 4 grantees to 
learn from college administrators, program coordinators, faculty and 
instructional staff, industry and community partners, and employers. 
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 section 801 authorizes 
this information collection.
    This proposed 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 the 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 if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register 
on February 26, 2015 (80 FR 10515).
    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 ICR Reference Number 201505-
1291-001. 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.
