Title: Evaluation of the Impacts of Job Corps on Participants' Postprogram Labor Market and Related Behaviors Follow-Up Questionnaire and Process Study Protocols
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 09/22/1995
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/27/1995
Terms of Clearance: Approved as amended by DOL's memoranda to OMB of 8/14/95, 9/12/95, and 9/22/95. In addition, DOL has agreed to meet the following conditions: -- Findings from the process analysis will not have sufficient precision to be reliable as measures of impact. The process analysis will provide contextual information regarding program operations that will help to interpret impact findings. Any estimates stemming from the process analysis will be caveated appropriately. -- DOL will review the net costs of CAPI vs. pencil/paper in- person interviews, and select the method that is most cost- effective in the long term accounting for data quality. DOL shall report on its decision as an addendum to this clearance package. -- Approval for remuneration of respondents is granted up to a level of $10. If DOL wished to increase this amount, it shall provide evidence that the payment level is too low to attract a sufficient response rate. -- We note the limitations of the study with respect to post- program crime effects, which will be less precise than in-program effects. This design choice shall be noted in DOL's methodological reports. -- DOL shall include a status report on the study's progress as part of the next request for clearance (the literacy/numeracy study, expected Jan. 1997), including a response rate analysis. -- DOL shall indicate how it will address GAO's finding that Job Corps placement rates are overstated by 10 percent as soon as possible, as an addendum to this clearance package. -- Action on the benefit-cost analysis methodology will follow responses to OMB's 9/21/95 memorandum outlining outstanding issues regarding the valuation of certain costs and benefits, presentation of the analytical findings, and degree of causation for certain effects. Final action will be taken as soon as these issues are resolved in a way that maximizes the usefulness of this analysis. -- All conditions that were placed on the baseline clearance of this evaluation, OMB #1205-0351 (November 1994), remain in effect.
