This program helps to ensure that required 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. The Department is soliciting comments concerning its proposal to collect information from program participants through a participant tracking system (PTS).

**DATES :**  Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the addressee section below on or before September 22, 2014.

. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

1. Background: The Opportunities for Youth project has three primary goals: (1) To develop and pilot promising intervention(s) to improve the employment outcomes of disconnected youth, (2) to conduct a formative evaluation of the implementation of the intervention, and (3) to design and assess an implementation analysis, and an assessment of systemic factors that are necessary to successfully implement the intervention. Disconnected youth are defined as young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are not currently in school or employed. This is the first time DOL will focus on evaluation specifically on disconnected youth.

The proposed interventions fill gaps in services and expand on current services in two pilot sites, Boston’s Mayor’s Office of Jobs & Community Services (MOJCS) and Baltimore’s Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED). In Boston, the proposed intervention fills a gap in services by providing career training for youth who have completed their GED or high school degree. In Boston, according to MOJCS, educational programs aimed at young people steer them toward a four-year college degree, while career training is geared toward adults. Boston’s MOJCS currently provides programs that aim to get youth a high school degree. A career training program to serve youth who have completed their high school degree would fill an important gap in services. In Baltimore, the proposed intervention primarily expands on current services for disconnected youth who do not have a high school degree. The proposed intervention developed with Baltimore is designed to keep youth without a high school degree engaged in an academic and career training program until they receive their certification and degree and to provide financial support during that process. The proposal would expand on the current services provided for these youth in Baltimore by creating an integrated job training program for them.

Underpinning both of these proposals will be the provision of a caring adult who will help participants navigate their respective education and training programs. These caring adults will take the form of a career navigator or case manager who will meet frequently with participants as they go through their respective programs and provide consistent support to these disconnected youth as they traverse their education and training.

To gauge the efficacy of the services provided to participants in these two cities, a participant tracking system (PTS) will be developed to measure youth outcomes, program implementation, and relevant contextual (systemic) factors of every participant who enters the two respective programs. The data collection effort with this group will gather information about participants’ demographic backgrounds; their education and training as they go through their respective programs; their employment and wages before, during, and after program completion; the


### 42537 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 140 / Tuesday, July 22, 2014 / Notices

supports they receive; and their interactions with their assigned caring adult.

This tracking system will provide critical information to Department policymakers on whether participants are effectively receiving education and training services, as well as the dosage and length of the caring adult model services. Data collection tasks include: (1) Design and test the PTS; and (2) execute the PTS, and (3) analyze the data and report the results. The period of performance of this evaluation ends in March 2016. The overall budget for the evaluation is $3,000,000. The evaluation contractor is The Urban
Institute.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Underground Construction Standard information collection requirements codified in regulations 29 CFR 1926.800. The requirements apply to an Occupation Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) covered employer engaged in underground construction. The information collections the DOL seeks to extend by this ICR include: (1) Posting various warning signs and notices, (2) developing and maintaining certification inspection records for hoists, and (3) developing and maintaining records of air quality tests. OSH Act sections 6(b)(7) and 8 authorize this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 655, 657.

This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
