SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Youth 
CareerConnect (YCC) Grant Program Participant Tracking System 
information collection. Specifically, YCC grantees submit participant-
level data and quarterly aggregate reports for individuals who receive 
services through YCC programs and their partnerships with entities 
administering the workforce investment system as established under the 
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The reports include aggregate 
data on demographic characteristics, types of services received, 
placements, program outcomes, and follow-up status. Specifically, 
reports summarize data on participants who received core YCC program 
services, (i.e., program enrollment, retention and credential rates, 
placement services, and other services essential to successful outcomes 
for YCC program participants). American Competitiveness and Workforce 
Improvement Act section 414 authorizes this information collection. See 
29 U.S.C. 3224a.
    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. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1291-0002. For additional substantive information 
about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal 
Register on March 6, 2018 (83 FR 9547).
    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 1291-0002. 
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.
