Approved as
amended by DOL's memoranda to OMB of 5/10/95, 5/24/95, and 5/30/95.
In addition, DOL has agreed to meet the following conditions: --
DOL will assess the utility of aggregating outcomes data (including
test scores) from 1994 and 1995, based on consistency of data sets
and external conditions affecting those data. DOL will report on
this assessment and recommend the most useful means of analyzing
the information as an addendum to this clearance package. OMB and
DOL will mutually agree on a methodology that maximizes utility. --
DOL will include estimates of the summer program's impact on youth
employment and earnings. -- DOL will continue to assess the
feasibility of estimating the summer program's impact on crime. If
the program continues, a component of the next evaluation or study
shall examine such impacts, or DOL shall provide sufficient
justification as to why such impacts cannot be estimated reliably
and with validity. -- DOL will collect information on SDA-level
participant characteristic data, to determine appropriate
information for future national studies. -- DOL will add questions
to the interview protocols that collect information on methods of
contracting by SDAs, and will seek to develop a methodology the
relates contract type to program outcomes. DOL shall provide these
questions and methodological recommendations as an addendum to this
clearance package, to be mutually agreed on by DOL and OMB based on
mximimum utility.
