SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the 
Cascades Job Corps College and Career Academy Pilot Program Evaluation 
information collection. More specifically, this ICR seeks clearance for 
an 18-month follow-up survey, whereby the Agency would contact 
participants approximately 18 months after the participants are 
randomly assigned to either a control or a treatment group. The survey 
will provide critical information on the experiences and educational 
and economic outcomes for both treatment and control members. Specific 
outcomes to be considered include the receipt of training and related 
supports, receipt of credentials, employment, socio-emotional skills, 
engagement in risky behaviors, receipt of public benefits, and opinions 
on the education and training services received. American 
Competitiveness and Workforce Improvements Act section 414(c)(7) 
authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 3224a(7).
    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 May 31, 2018 (83 FR 25055).
    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 201902-
1290-001. The OMB is

[[Page 22903]]

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.
