SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information collected under this proposed 
ICR would be used to evaluate the efficacy of the Young Parents 
Demonstration Project (YPDP), a grant program designed to provide 
educational and occupational skills training that fosters family 
economic self-sufficiency to young parents (both mothers and fathers) 
and expectant parents ages 16-24, including, as applicable, those in 
high-risk categories such as victims of child abuse, children of 
incarcerated parents, court-involved youth, youth at risk of court 
involvement, homeless and runaway youth, Native American youth, migrant 
youth, youth in or aging out of foster care, and youth with 
disabilities. YPDP grantees are required to develop a mentoring model, 
which includes an intensive professional staff mentoring specifically 
for education, employment, and training and specifically for pregnant 
and parenting teens and young parents. Grantees are to implement this 
intervention as an additional level of services above and beyond the 
existing services they currently provide that are specifically intended 
to increase an individual's education, job training and employment.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the 
collection of information does not display a valid OMB Control Number. 
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional information, see the 
related notice published in the Federal Register on March 15, 2011 (76 
FR 14099).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within 30 days of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB ICR Reference Number 201109-
1205-002. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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.
