SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Performance Partnership Pilots for Disconnected Youth 
Program (P3) National Evaluation information collection. More 
specifically, this ICR seeks clearance for four data collection 
activities conducted as part of the evaluation's implementation and 
systems analyses: (1) Site visit interviews; (2) focus group 
discussions with P3 youth participants; (3) a survey of partner 
managers; and (4) a survey of partner service providers. This 
information collection has been classified as a revision, because the 
DOL request to add one site visit to each of the six Cohort \2/3\ 
pilots as well as visits to each of six exemplar pilots. In addition, 
phone interviews to each Cohort 1 program director were also added to 
the evaluation plan. Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 section 
526 authorizes this information collection. See Public Law 113-76.
    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 that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1219-0013. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on April 30, 2020; however, the DOL notes that existing 
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a 
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements 
would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on May 19, 2016 (81 FR 31664).
    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 Control Number 1219-0013. 
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.
