number), within 45 days from the date of this publication in the 
Federal Register.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
    Agency: Employment and Training Administration.
    Type of Review: Extension.
    Title: Project GATE.
    OMB Number: 1205--0444.
    Frequency: Once.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Type of Response: Reporting.
    Number of Respondents: 400.

    Description: Approval is sought for an extension to complete the 
follow-up survey to be conducted as part of Project GATE. Project GATE 
is a demonstration program designed to assist individuals interested in 
self-employment to develop their businesses. To determine whether the 
program should be replicated on a larger scale, an evaluation is being 
conducted. Persons interested in Project GATE and who meet the 
eligibility criteria are randomly assigned to either a program or a 
control group. Members of both groups are surveyed twice. A survey is 
the only way to collect information on self-employment services, and 
household income.
