SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Youth 
CareerConnect (YCC) Grant Program Participant Tracking System (PTS) 
information collection. Specifically, YCC grantees will submit 
participant-level data and quarterly aggregate reports for individuals 
who receive services through YCC programs and their partnerships with 
entities administering the workforce investment system as established 
under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA). The reports will 
include aggregate data on demographic characteristics, types of 
services received, placements, program outcomes, and follow-up status. 
Specifically, reports will summarize data on participants who received 
core YCC program services, (i.e., program enrollment, retention and 
credential rates, placement services, and other services essential to 
successful outcomes for YCC program participants). This information 
correction is authorized by the American Competitiveness and Workforce 
Improvement Act. See 29 U.S.C. 2916a.
    This proposed 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 
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 1, 2014 (79 FR 44867).
    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 thirty (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 201412-
1291-001. 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.
