SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Job Corps is an intensive, residential training program for at-risk 
youth age 16 through 24 to address multiple barriers to employment 
faced by youth throughout the United States. Job Corps is authorized by 
Title I, Subtitle C, of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. The 
program is principally carried out through a nationwide network of 123 
Job Corps centers. The centers are located at facilities either owned 
or leased by the Federal Government. The Department has a direct role 
in the operation of Job Corps, and does not serve as a pass-through 
agency for this program. It is the Department's responsibility to 
establish Job Corps centers and to select operators for them. Of the 
123 current centers, 28 are operated by the Department of Agriculture 
through an interagency agreement. These centers are located on Federal 
lands. The remaining 95 centers are managed and operated by large and 
small corporations and nonprofit organizations selected by the 
Department in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations, and 
in most cases through a competitive procurement process. Many of the 
current contractors manage and operate more than one center.

II. Review Focus

    The Department of Labor 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 submissions of responses.
