YouthBuild (YB) Reporting System

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training 
Administration is soliciting comments concerning a proposed revision 
for the authority to conduct the information collection request (ICR) 
titled, ``YouthBuild Reporting System.'' This comment request is part 
of continuing Departmental efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burden in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all written comments received by 
March 27, 2018.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation, 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free by 
contacting Jenn Smith by telephone at (202) 693-3597 (this is not a 
toll-free number), TTY at 1-877-889-5627, or by email at 
[email protected].
    Submit written comments about, or requests for a copy of, this ICR 
by mail or courier to the U.S. Department of Labor, Division of Youth

by email: [email protected]; or by Fax: 202-693-3113.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jenn Smith by telephone at (202) 693-
3597 (this is not a toll-free number) or by email at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, as part of continuing efforts to 
reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance 
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies 
an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of 
information before submitting them to the OMB for final approval. This 
program helps to ensure requested data can be provided in the desired 
format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, 
collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of 
collection requirements can be properly assessed.
    The Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration 
(ETA) proposes revising the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of 
the YouthBuild (YB) program. This reporting structure features 
standardized data collection for program participants through quarterly 
Management Information System (MIS) performance reports and Wok Site 
Description and Housing Census report formats. All data collection and 
reporting is done by YouthBuild grantees.
    The quarterly performance report (ETA-9136) includes aggregate and 
participant-level information on demographic characteristics, types of 
services received, placements, outcomes, and follow-up status. 
Specifically, these reports collect data on individuals who receive 
education, occupational skill training, leadership development 
services, and other

[[Page 3774]]

services essential to preparing at-risk youth for in-demand occupations 
through YouthBuild programs. There are no changes proposed for ETA-9136 
in this information collection request package. The Work Site 
Description and Housing Census (ETA-9143) requests information on the 
proposed work sites for low-income or homeless individual or families 
on which YouthBuild participants will be trained and participate in 
construction skills activities. This form also requests annual 
information on the number of houses or apartments that were built or 
renovated each year and allows ETA to demonstrate on an annual basis 
the increase in affordable housing units supported by YouthBuild.
    The accuracy, reliability, and comparability of program reports 
submitted by grantees using Federal funds are fundamental elements of 
good public administration and are necessary tools for maintaining and 
demonstrating system integrity. The use of a standard set of data 
elements, definitions, and specifications at all levels of the 
workforce system helps improve the quality of performance information 
that is received by ETA.
    The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (29 U.S.C. 3101) 
authorizes this information collection.
    This 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 that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6.
    Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the 
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to 
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB 1205-0464.
    Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this 
ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. The DOL encourages 
commenters not to include personally identifiable information, 
confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information 
in any comments.
    The DOL 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.
