This data collection request is to
permit the Department of Labor to continue a management information
system for these various sets of grantees. This request continues
the reporting and recordkeeping system for a minimum level of
information collection that is necessary to comply with Equal
Opportunity requirements, to hold Youthful Offender grantees
appropriately accountable for the Federal funds they receive,
including performance measures, and to allow the Department to
fulfill its oversight and management responsibilities.
US Code:
29 USC 3245, 3248 Name of Law: Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act of 2014
This request adds burden hours
inadvertently not accounted for in the request three years ago for
the time spent by grantees generating, reviewing, and correcting
errors in the quarterly progress reports; increases the average
burden to participants for the collection of intake data from 12
minutes to 45 minutes to make it more consistent with the burden to
participants for the collection of information in similar Division
of Youth services programs and to allow for extra time for the
additional intake questions; increases the average burden for
grantee staff to collect intake, service, and outcome information
from 1.6 hours to 2 hours to allow for extra time for the
additional intake questions and for tracking additional outcomes ,
and decreases the burden hours from 30 to 16 for grantees to
complete the quarterly narrative reports to make it consistent with
the average hours approved for the quarterly narrative reports of
similar Division of Youth services programs. This adds 6,720 burden
hours for the quarterly progress report, 6,600 burden hours for
participants, 4,800 burden hours for grantee staff collection of
information, and subtracts 4,704 burden hours from the quarterly
narrative report, for a net effect of adding 13,416 burden hours to
this request.
