    Description: This submission requests approval of three primary and 
two secondary data collection instruments that will be used to collect 
follow-up data on individuals who are no longer actively participating 
in Job Corps. The instruments are comprised of modules that include 
questions designed to obtain the following information: re-verification 
of initial job and/or school placements; employment and educational 
experiences; job search activities of those who are neither working nor 
in school; information about former participants' satisfaction with the 
services provided by Job Corps, and confirmation of contact information 
for purposes of further follow-up. The secondary instruments are used 
to secure placement verification from employers and educational 
institutions when the individuals cannot be contacted directly.

Departmental Clearance Officer/Team Leader.
