    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority to reinstate, 
with revisions, the Young Parents Demonstration Project (YPDP) 
Evaluation information collection. Information collected under this 
proposed ICR would be used to evaluate the YPDP, a grant program 
designed to provide educational and occupational skills training that 
fosters family economic self-sufficiency to young parents (both mothers 
and fathers) and expectant parents ages 16-24, including, as 
applicable, those in high-risk categories such as victims of child 
abuse, children of incarcerated parents, court-involved youth, youth at 
risk of court involvement, homeless and runaway youth, Native American 
youth, migrant youth, youth in or aging out of foster care, and youth 
with disabilities. YPDP grantees are required to develop a mentoring 
model, which includes an intensive professional staff mentoring 
specifically for education, employment, and training and specifically 
for pregnant and parenting teens and young parents. Grantees are to 
implement this intervention as an additional level of services in 
addition to existing services currently provided intended to increase 
an individual's education, job training, and employment. Major 
information collections consist of a participant tracking system, 
field-based implementation site visits, and follow-up surveys with 
program participants.
    The ETA temporarily discontinued this information collection in May 
2015, the original expiration date, in order to ensure the agency met 
all PRA requirements before continuing data collection. This 
reinstatement would change the collection in two ways. First, the 
evaluation will no longer conduct the 36-month follow-up survey. 
Second, the evaluation team found it to be important to conduct a 
second set of visits to the sites to ensure they track any changes to 
implementation since 12 months after random assignment and to clarify 
any information as needed. Workforce Investment Act sections 171(b) and 
172, as well as Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act section 169 
authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 2916(b), 2917, 
3224.
    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,

[[Page 38223]]

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 July 8, 2015 (80 FR 39161).
    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 Control Number 1205-0494. 
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.
    Agency: DOL-ETA.
    Title of Collection: Young Parents Demonstration Project 
Evaluation.
