These operating and/or reporting forms are standard for the operation of a Job Corps Center. They are Federal information collection requirements for operators of such centers. Job Corps has automated the following Employment and Training Administration (ETA) forms: 2110, 2181, 6-131A, 6-131B, 6-131C, 640, 661, and 328.
A recent review of the Job Corps contract and operator reporting requirements in the PRH identified an additional form; Environmental Health Inspections (OJC Form 6-36) which should be included in this revision request for an additional burden of 246 hours. Other adjustments were made because some requirements listed in the current collection like the Energy Conservation Report were redundant and deleted because they were already listed under an OMB collection from other agencies. Job Corps also made improvements to some forms in order to collect more detailed information and improve the programâs oversight, in many cases without causing a significant increase in burden. There was a reduction in number of respondents because of the closure of three Job Corps centers since the last collection approval. An additional data collection burden results from the experimental, research and demonstration projects related to the Job Corps program. Because of the above changes, there is a net increase in burden of 27,074 hours.
