SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection request seeks to 
collect data from recipients of four ETA grants that provide funding to 
train unemployed, underemployed, dislocated, and incumbent workers for 
employment and to create career pathways in healthcare and other 
growing industries. The ETA seeks clearance to conduct on-site in-depth 
interviews with grantees and their program partner staff; conduct focus 
groups with grant participants; and administer a web/telephone survey 
of all grant project directors and selected program partner staff as 
part of the Green Jobs and Healthcare Implementation Study. This 
project seeks to understand the processes surrounding the design and 
implementation of the four grant programs.
    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 August 29, 2011 
(vol. 76, p 53698). 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 reference ICR Reference Number 201110-
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.
