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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

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 Challenge 

Corporation (‘‘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
