SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chief Evaluation Office of the DOL has 
commissioned an evaluation of the Transition Assistance Program 
Employment Navigator and Partnership Pilot (TAP ENPP, or ENPP). By 
establishing the ENPP, DOL aims to provide individualized career 
counseling and guidance to transitioning service members (TSMs) and 
military spouses. Under the ENPP model, Employment Navigators will 
provide individualized career services including self-assessment, 
interest and aptitude testing, career exploration, and detailed labor 
market information (referred to as the Assist-Explore-Plan [AEP] model) 
as well as warm handovers and connections to governmental and 
nongovernmental partners for additional services. ICF has been 
contracted by CEO to conduct a formative evaluation of this 12-month 
pilot program. For additional substantive information about this ICR, 
see the related notice published in the Federal Register on May 19, 
2021 (86 FR 27114).
    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 the OMB approves it 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 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
