to collect customer satisfaction

information from service delivery areas

who operate Summer Youth

Employment and Training Programs.

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

January 5, 1998.

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,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Under the Job Training Partnership

Act Program, title IIB, the Department of

Labor has established the Summer

Youth Employment and Training

Program to: (1) Enhance the basic

education skills of youth; (2) encourage

school completion or enrollment in

supplementary or alternative school

programs; provide eligible youth with

exposure to the world of work; and (3)

enhance the citizenship skills of youth.

The Department of Labor is responsible

for overseeing these programs. As a part

of the Department’s oversight

responsibilities, ETA will conduct a

uniform survey of a representative

sample of service delivery areas (ADA’s)

to determine how the Department can

effectively measure customer

satisfaction. The result of this survey

will be used to assist in the

development of a comprehensive system

for assessing customer satisfaction with

the summer program.

II. Current Actions

ETA has revised its monitoring

instrument to collect more information

on customer satisfaction. This data will

be used to determine satisfaction

experiences of program participants,

work site supervisors/employers and

educational instructors. The information

obtained will permit the Department to

fulfill requests from the U.S. Congress,

the Administration, the media and the

public.
