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.
