their intention to leave the company and

many others are openly talking of leaving due

to career uncertainty created by the Justice

Department decree. Morale is extremely low

and it possibly endangers the core team of

MMIC design/process expertise that is being

divested.

Revised Conclusion 4

The ‘MMIC Business’ divestiture will

increase the cost of future military

microwave components through increased

difficulty in achieving cross functional

technology breakthroughs.

Revised Conclusion 4B

The ‘MMIC Business’ spin-off could

potentially lose critical mass of its key

personnel due to morale problems associated

with the Justice Department decree.

Proposed Solution

Keep the R/F Microwave Business unit

intact. This will prevent an increase in MMIC

costs, keep the company viable for

commercial business, and allow the company

to continue development of advanced

technology.

Option 1: Keep the unit with Raytheon.

This will provide the greatest opportunity for

high performance, low cost military MMICs

and modules. Since RTIS is teamed with

Northrop Grumman on the F22 program they

will be provided necessary MMICs for their

module build as part of that agreement.

Option 2: Spin off the entire R/F

Microwave unit from RTIS. This will make

Northrop Grumman and other military

system suppliers more competitive. The

downside is a loss of possible maturity for

advanced MMIC processes that would have

occurred with the merger (i.e. combination of

Raytheon and TI engineers sharing

information.)

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Administration

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden,

conducts a preclearance consultation

program to provide the general public

and Federal agencies with an

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This

program helps to ensure that requested

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. Currently, the

Employment and Training

Administration is soliciting comments

concerning the proposed new collection

of the Center for Employment and

Training (CET) 24-Month Follow-Up

Survey. A copy of the proposed

information collection request (ICR) can

be obtained by contacting the office

listed below in the addressee section of

this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addressee section below on or before

December 8, 1997. 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

• 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 submissions

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Center for Employment Training

(CET) model of employment and

training programs for out-of-school

youth has gained national attention as a

result of its strong employment impacts

relative to comparable programs.

Building on this success, the

Department of Labor (DOL) began

funding the CET Replication Project in

December 1992, providing a grant for

CET–San Jose, CA to assist other

programs in implementing CET-like

training. In 1994 DOL competitively
