financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the Office 

of Job Corps is soliciting comments 

concerning the collection of data for 

forms relating to the standard contractor 

information gathering and reporting 

requirements (OMB Control Number

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: Job Corps is an 

intensive, residential training program 

for at-promise youth age 16 through 24 

to address multiple barriers to 

employment faced by youth throughout 

the United States. Job Corps is 

authorized by Title I, Subtitle C, of the 

Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 

1998. The program is principally carried 

out through a nationwide network of 

122 Job Corps centers. The centers are 

located at facilities either owned or 

leased by the Federal Government. The 

Department has a direct role in the 

operation of Job Corps, and does not 

serve as a pass-through agency for this 

program. It is the Department’s 

responsibility to establish Job Corps 

centers and to select operators for them. 

Of the 122 current centers, 28 are 

operated by the Departments of 

Agriculture and the Interior, through 

interagency agreements. These centers 

are located on Federal lands controlled 

by these two agencies. The remaining 94 

centers are managed and operated by 

large and small corporations and 

nonprofit organizations selected by the 

Department in accordance with the 

Federal Acquisition Regulations, and in 

most cases through a competitive 

procurement process. Many of the 

current contractors manage and operate 

more than one center. 

II. Review Focus: The Department of 

Labor is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

* 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
