The purpose of this collection is to solicit applications for Performance Partnership Pilots (P3) authority and start-up grant funds. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (Public Law 113-76) (the Act), under Section 526 of Division H, authorizes the Departments of Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services, along with the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (collectively, the Agencies), to enter into a total of up to ten Performance Partnership Agreements with States, localities, or tribal governments receiving funds under multiple Federal programs that give grantees additional flexibility in using these funds to achieve significant improvement in outcomes for disconnected youth.
The information will be used in several ways. First, it will be used by peer reviewers and the Department to assess the extent to which an applicant meets the priorities, requirements, and selection criteria of the P3 grant program competition. The Department will generate a rank-order list of applications based on the average scores awarded by peer reviewers. The information provided in the top-ranked applications will then be assessed by the Agencies to determine whether the waivers sought by these applicants may be granted under the Act. Once the entities with which agreements will be established are identified, the information will be used to inform the development of these performance agreements. In addition, the Agencies will use the information obtained through this collection to prepare summaries of the projects that will be carried out by entities awarded start-up funds and P3 authority for dissemination to members of Congress and the general public. Finally, the Agencies will use this information to monitor the progress of each entity awarded P3 authority.
Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13, the Department is requesting emergency approval of its information collection under the P3 program because (1) the P3 program authority was an unanticipated event, and (2) public harm is likely to result if the participating agencies have not published a notice inviting applications by late this summer.
This is a new collection, therefore all burden is new. This results in an increase in burden and responses of 65 responses and 5,200 burden hours.
