Approved as
amended by DOL's memos and revisions of 5/4/98 and 5/7/98. In
addition DOL agrees to the following conditions: 1) DOL, to the
maximum extent possible, will use all existing available program
data, including postprogram follow-up data, to inform the process
study; 2) In preparing the process study, DOL will explore the
effects of welfare reform (including time limits) on CET
participants; 3) Prior to publication of any CET impacts on
criminal activity, DOL will provide OMB with an analysis on the
reliability of self-reported data on encounters with the criminal
justice system (Note: This analysis could entail an actual
verification procedure for this data or an analysis of the Job
Corps Evaluation's procedure to verify similar data.); 4) Prior to
continuation of the process study, DOL will submit to OMB a summary
of the data collection strategy as well as any available data
collection instruments (e.g., interview protocals). Once submitted,
OMB will assess whether this information collection activity is
covered by the PRA and therefore must be submitted to OMB for
formal review.
