YouthBuild grantees will collect and report selected standardized information pertaining to customers in YouthBuild programs for the purposes of general program oversight, evaluation, and performance assessment. ETA will provide all grantees with a YouthBuild management information system (MIS) to use for collecting participant data and for preparing and submitting the required quarterly reports.
This information collection request is occasioned by the statutory transfer of the Youthbuild Grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources to the U.S. Department of Labor, which has designed a level of information collection which will align with ETA's common measures. The reporting structure features standardized data collection for program participants and quarterly progress and Management Information System (MIS) report formats. All data collection and reporting will be done by YouthBuild grantees.
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).
