Per PL 109-281 and 20 CFR part 672,
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 new Part C (the Housing
Census) of the Work Site Description Form, one annually from each
of the 220 grantees, accounts for another 110 hours annually; these
figures are in the Agency Discretion category because they respond
to GAO's recommendation. In addition the previous submission did
not reflect the burden hours for prospective applicants, which adds
425 responses and 71 hours - in the category of "change due to
agency estimate." Disaggregated Participant burden for MIS data
entry added 6,000 responses to account for participant burden, and
any differences between totals in the supporting statement and
ROCIS are due to rounding.
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);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
