Approved consistent with the following terms: 1) OMB notes that in DOL's submission of this paperwork (1205-0379), DOL did not comply with the 6/26/97 terms of clearance. Specifically, DOL did not a) develop a uniform survey of a representative sample of SDAs to collect employer satisfaction and other monitoring data, and b) submit a proposal for measuring the performance of educational enrichment activities, pursuant to ETA's GPRA goal for the Summer Jobs program; 2) DOL will develop and pilot test a methodology for measuring the performance of educational enrichment activities for the Summer Jobs program and pilot the approach in the Summer 1998 program; 3) By October 15, 1998, DOL will report on the results of the pilot test, its plan for replication of the pilot project in the Summer 1999 program, and the development of alternate baseline data against which to measure GPRA performance of academic enrichment activities. ETA's Annual Performance Plan submission should address this alternate performance measure for the Summer Jobs program; 4) DOL will update OMB on progress in meeting these terms by June 30, 1998; 5) DOL shall submit the alternative methodology described in term 1 and the uniform survey described in term 3 for OMB review by January 99 so that both can be implemented in the Summer 1999 program.

ETA has revised the data collection process for reporting and monitoring information of the Summer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYETP). The JASPR formerly used to collect non-financial information annually has been merged with the reporting form used to collect financial and participant information for II-B program. The new form is entitled the JTPA Summary Program Report (JSPR), which will be used to collect both financial and non-financial information at three intervals (beginning of the program--providing planning information, mid-summer report, and end-of-the-summer report).
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.
