SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Chief Evaluation Office (CEO), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), 
is proposing a data collection activity as part of the Cascades Job 
Corps College and Career Academy Evaluation Pilot Evaluation. The goal 
of the evaluation is to determine the effectiveness of the Pilot 
program in improving employment and educational outcomes for youth ages 
21 and under. The impact study will randomly assign individuals to 
receive program services or to a group that cannot access these 
services but who can participate in other similar programs. The impact 
study will compare the employment and educational outcomes of the 
groups to determine the effectiveness of the pilot program. The 
evaluation also includes an implementation study that will describe the 
services participants receive through the pilot program as well as 
provide operational lessons.
    This Federal Register Notice provides the opportunity to comment on 
three proposed new information collection activities for the Cascades 
Job Corps College and Career Academy Evaluation Pilot Evaluation: (1) A 
baseline survey of sample members in the evaluation, administered at 
the time of application to the program; and (2) discussion guides for 
in-person or phone interviews with Cascades staff, leadership in other 
Job Corps sites, employers, other program partners, and Cascades 
participants; and (3) postcards mailed to sample members in the 
evaluation to request address updates.
    The baseline survey and discussion guides will provide vital data 
for the evaluation. The postcards will provide the evaluation with 
accurate locating information for sample members and thereby improve 
response rates for the follow-on survey.

II. Review Focus

    DOL is soliciting comments concerning the above data collection for 
the Cascades Job Corps College and Career Academy Pilot Evaluation. DOL 
is particularly interested in comments that do the following:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's burden estimate of 
the proposed information collection, 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 (for example, 
permitting electronic submissions of responses).

III. Current Actions

    DOL is requesting clearance for the baseline survey of sample 
members, discussion guides for stakeholder interviews, and postcards 
mailed to sample members of the Cascades Job Corps College and Career 
Academy Pilot Evaluation.
    Type of Review: New collection.
