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.
