SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the 
Evaluation of Strategies Used in the TechHire and Strengthening Working 
Families Initiative Grant Programs information collection that will 
support an evaluation of both the implementation and impact of the 
programs. The purpose of the evaluation is to identify whether the 
grants help low-wage workers obtain employment in and advance in H-1B 
industries and occupations and, if so, which strategies are most 
helpful. Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 section 107 authorizes 
this information collection. See Public Law 114-113.
    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 November 17, 2016 (81 FR 81172).
    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 201706-
1290-001. 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.
