SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for an 
information collection to support an evaluation of the Trade Adjustment 
Assistance Community College Career Training (TAACCCT) Grants Program. 
The data collection will obtain information about the program from 
TAACCCT grant recipients through a survey of colleges receiving funds 
under the first three rounds of TAACCCT grants and site visits to 
selected round 2 and 3 grantees. More specifically, an Internet based 
survey will collect data from colleges about TAACCCT activities, 
especially around program development and capacity building at 
community colleges, and the changes that occurred because of the 
TAACCCT grant. Site visits will collect more in-depth qualitative data 
on the TAACCCT grants via semi-structured interviews with program 
coordinators, faculty, and industry and employer partners, as well as 
focus groups with students participating in the TAACCCT-funded 
programs. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 section 801 
authorizes this information collection. See Public Law 111-5 section 
801.
    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 August 1, 2014 (79 FR 44868).
    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 201501-
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.
