SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) in DOL has 
commissioned an evaluation of the Pathway Home grant program. The 
program aims to improve the ability of people in the justice system to 
find meaningful employment and avoid repeat involvement in the criminal 
justice system. The Evaluation of the Pathway Home Grant Program 
(Pathway Home Evaluation) offers a unique opportunity to build 
knowledge about the implementation and effectiveness of these programs. 
CEO contracted with Mathematica and its subcontractors, Social Policy 
Research Associates and the Council of State Governments Justice 
Center, to conduct an implementation and impact study. This information 
collection request seeks OMB clearance for new data collection for the 
Pathway Home Evaluation. For additional substantive information about 
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on

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
