Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Performance Partnership Pilots for Disconnected Youth Program National Evaluation
The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting the information collection request (ICR) revision titled, "Performance Partnership Pilots for Disconnected Youth Program National Eva...
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Performance Partnership Pilots for Disconnected Youth Program (P3) National Evaluation information collection. More specifically, this ICR seeks clearance for four data collection activities conducted as part of the evaluation's implementation and systems analyses: (1) Site visit interviews; (2) focus group discussions with P3 youth participants; (3) a survey of partner managers; and (4) a survey of partner service providers. This information collection has been classified as a revision, because the DOL request to add one site visit to each of the six Cohort
2/3
pilots as well as visits to each of six exemplar pilots. In addition, phone interviews to each Cohort 1 program director were also added to the evaluation plan. Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 section 526 authorizes this information collection.
SeePublic Law 113-76.
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.
See5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1219-0013. The current approval is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2020; however, the DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register
on May 19, 2016 (81 FR 31664).
