**DEPARTMENT OF LABOR**

**Comment Request for Information Collection for the Evaluation of the**  **Youth CareerConnect Grant Program, New Collection** 

**AGENCY :**  Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Department of Labor.

**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 is properly assessed. Currently, the Department of Labor is soliciting comments concerning the collection of data about the Evaluation of the Youth CareerConnect (YCC) Grant Program [SGA/DFA PY– 13–01]. A copy of the proposed Information Collection Request (ICR) can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the addressee section of this notice.

**DATES :**  Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the addressee’s section below on or before December 7, 2014.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may submit comments by either one of the following methods: Email: ChiefEvaluationOffice@dol.gov; Mail or Courier: Chief Evaluation Office, OASP, U.S. Department of Labor, Room S–2312, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 


### 62468 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 201 / Friday, October 17, 2014 / Notices

I. Background

The proposed information collection activities described in this notice will provide data for an impact and implementation evaluation of the Youth CareerConnect program. In spring 2014, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) in the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) awarded a total of $107 million to 24 grantees to implement the YCC program. The program is a high school based initiative aimed at improving students’ college and career readiness in particular employment sectors. The programs are redesigning the high school experience through partnerships with colleges and employers to provide skill-developing and work-based learning opportunities to help students prepare for jobs in high-demand occupations.

The evaluation will address three main research questions: (1) What was the impact of the YCC programs on students’ short-term outcomes? (2) How were the YCC programs implemented? and (3) Did the effectiveness of YCC programs vary by student and grantee characteristics? The impact study will employ a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to estimate program effectiveness and will be carried out in a subset of YCC grantees. The implementation study will draw on data gathered from all YCC grantees.

This Federal Register Notice provides the opportunity to comment on four proposed data collection instruments that will be used in the YCC evaluation:

(1) Parental consent and student assent forms. For the impact study, active consent will be obtained from a parent, guardian, or other adult who has responsibility for students in sites recruited for the impact study. Additionally, students for whom written parental consent has been obtained will be asked to assent to data collection.

(2) Baseline Information Forms (BIFs) will be completed by students and parents. The student BIF will collect information on experiences at school, behavior in school, activities, employment experience, and plans for future education. The parent BIF will collect information on household characteristics and education expectations for their children. BIFs will also provide detailed contact information to be used to locate participants for the follow-up survey. Whenever possible, BIFs will be integrated into the application process to limit respondent burden.

(3) Grantee survey. A grantee survey will provide information about all grantees funded for YCC programs. It will collect details on service delivery models, staffing, staff development, partnerships, and the implementation of the main program elements.

(4) Site visit protocols. Site visits will occur at three points in time and will collect information on program design, implementation, and challenges, as well as how program models change over time.

A future information collection request will include a 36-month follow up survey of members of the treatment and control groups. II. Review Focus Currently, DOL is soliciting comments concerning the above data collection for the evaluation of YCC. DOL is particularly interested in comments that do the following:

• Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s burden estimate of the proposed information collection, 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 (for example, permitting electronic submissions of responses).

III. Current Actions

At this time, DOL is requesting clearance for the parental consent and student assent forms, student and parent BIFs, grantee surveys, and site visit protocols.

**MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE CORPORATION** 

**[MCC FR 14–08]**

**Notice of Entering Into a Compact With the Republic of El Salvador** 

**AGENCY :**  Millennium Challenge Corporation.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with Section 610(b)(2) of the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7701–7718), the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is publishing a summary of the Millennium Challenge Compact between the United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the Republic of El Salvador. Representatives of the United States Government and El Salvador executed the Compact documents on September 30, 2014. The complete text of the Compact has been posted at http://www.mcc.gov/documents/agreements/compact112906-elsalvador.pdf.

Dated: October 14, 2014. Thomas G. Hohenthaner, Acting Vice President and General Counsel, Millennium Challenge Corporation. Summary of Millennium Challenge Compact With the Republic of El Salvador

1. Overview

The Millennium ChallengeCorporation (‘‘MCC’’) has signed a fiveyear, $277 million compact with the Republic of El Salvador aimed at reducing poverty and accelerating economic growth (the ‘‘Compact’’). The Compact is intended to assist the Government of El Salvador (‘‘GoES’’) to strengthen the investment climate, enhance the role of public-private partnerships in delivering key services, and improve the country’s productivity and competitiveness in international markets. Through intensive policy reforms and an integrated set of investments in the institutional capital, human capital, and physical capital of El Salvador, MCC expects that the Compact will help set the foundation for lasting economic growth and poverty reduction. 2. Background

This Compact will build on GoES reforms and initiatives and is informed by consultations with over 200 businesses. First, the Compact will invest in the institutional capital of El Salvador in order to enhance the investment climate by streamlining the regulatory environment and supporting the implementation of public-private partnerships. Second, the Compact will support policy reforms and invest in human capital to improve education quality and better match workforce skills with the demands of the labor market. Third, the Compact will invest in physical capital to reduce logistics and transportation costs by improving key road segments and border infrastructure in major transport corridors.

The Compact’s three projects represent a total investment of $365.2 million, of which MCC will contribute $277 million, and the GoES will commit $88.2 million—a 32 percent matching contribution that is well above the 15 percent country contribution required for second compacts with lower-middle income countries. 3. Program Overview and Budget

Below is a summary describing the components of the Compact. The budget and expected impacts are preliminary based on due diligence and project appraisal.

4. Summary of Projects and Activities
Investment Climate Project

The constraints to economic growth analysis and consultations with investors identified excessive ‘‘red tape’’ and discretionary application of rules as negatively affecting the investment climate in El Salvador. Firms also identified the need for key public infrastructure to increase productivity, but tight fiscal constraints and weak institutional capacity limit the ability of the GoES to provide such infrastructure. The Investment Climate Project seeks to address these deficiencies in El Salvador’s investment climate by improving the regulatory environment and the GoES’s capacity to provide key public services in partnership with the private sector through the following two activities:

• The Regulatory Improvement Activity will prioritize and promote investment climate reforms with the goal of creating a more efficient and profitable business environment. MCC will support the development of an institutional framework and system, including an independent institution
