YouthBuild grantees collect and report
selected standardized information pertaining to customers in
YouthBuild programs for the purposes of general program oversight,
evaluation, and performance assessment. ETA provides all grantees
with a YouthBuild management information system to use for
collecting participant data and for preparing and submitting the
required quarterly reports.
The increase in burden is due
to the growing number of grantees in this program, from 85 three
years ago to 220, and the doubling of participants, from the
estimated 3,000 in the previous submission to 6,000 in 2010.
Finally, the previous submission did not include the housing site
description, one from each of the 220 grantees, which accounts for
another 23 hours annually, for a total of 38,983 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);

(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
