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 revision of the

Center for Employment and Training

(CET) 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’s section below on or before

January 12, 2001.

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

awarded grants to select six of these

programs in order to evaluate the effects

of the CET model on participating

youth. Six additional sites have also

been selected from among CET

programs in California and Nevada. The

purpose of this study, A Random

Assignment Evaluation of the CET

Replication Sites, is to evaluate the CET

model in the selected sites to assess

whether it can be replicated outside of

San Jose, and whether the replication

sites have similarly positive

employment impacts on out-of-school

youth.

In order to assess the success of CET

outside of San Jose, DOL has contracted

with the Manpower Demonstration

Research Corporation (MDRC) to

evaluate the CET Replication Project. As

part of this evaluation, follow-up

information is currently being collected

through a long-term follow-up

telephone survey conducted

approximately 30 months after the

random assignment of youth. This

information collection was approved

under OMB No. 1205–0391, which is

due to expire on May 31, 2001. This

information collection request would

revise the information collection to

provide for a second wave of the survey

to be completed approximately 54

months after random assignment of all

youth.

The 30-Month and 54-Month FollowUp Surveys will be used to examine the

effects of this employment and training

program on participants’ outcomes two

years after beginning the CET training.

They will also assess the subsequent

outcomes of comparable youth

randomly assigned to a control group.

II. Review Focus

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.

III. Current Actions

This is a request for OMB approval of

a revision of an existing information

collection for the CET Replication

Project funded by the Department of

Labor (DOL). Information in the form of

a follow-up phone or in-person survey

will be collected from randomly

assigned participants at each of the CET

Replication Project sites at two points,

approximately 30 months following

their initial assignment to the program

or control groups and again at 54

months after random assignment. The

survey data will be utilized to analyze

the impact of the CET program on

participants’ outcomes including

education and training, employment,

earnings, public assistance

participation, childbearing, and other

behaviors and activities. The findings

will be directly relevant for the future

development of employment and

training policy for youth.

Type of Review: Revision.

Administration.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards

Administration; Wage and Hour

Division

Minimum Wages for Federal and

Federally Assisted Construction;

General Wage Determination Decisions

General wage determination decisions

of the Secretary of Labor are issued in

accordance with applicable law and are

based on the information obtained by

the Department of Labor from its study

of local wage conditions and data made

available from other sources. They

specify the basic hourly wage rates and

fringe benefits which are determined to

be prevailing for the described classes of

laborers and mechanics employed on

construction projects of a similar

character and in the localities specified

therein.

The determinations in these decisions

of prevailing rates and fringe benefits

have been made in accordance with 29

CFR part 1, by authority of the Secretary

of Labor pursuant to be provisions of the

Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931, as

amended (46 Stat. 1494, as amended, 40

U.S.C. 276a) and of other Federal

statutes referred to in 29 CFR part 1,

Appendix, as well a such additional

statutes as may from time to time be

enacted containing provisions for the

payment of wages determined to be

prevailing by the Secretary of Labor in

accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act.

The prevailing rates and fringe benefits

determined in these decision shall, in

accordance with the provisions of the

foregoing statutes, constitute the

minimum wages payable on Federal and

federally assisted construction projects

to laborers and mechanics of the

specified classes engaged on contract

work of the character and in the

localities described therein.

Good cause is hereby found for not

utilizing notice and public comment

procedure thereon prior to the issuance

of these determinations as prescribed in

5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for delay

in the effective date as prescribed in that

section, because the necessity to issue

current construction industry wage

determinations frequently and in large

volume causes procedures to be

impractical and contrary to the public

interest.

expiration dates and are effective from

their date of notice in the Federal

Register, or on the date written notice

is received by the agency, whichever is

CFR parts 1 and 5. Accordingly, the

applicable decision, together with any

modifications issued, must be made a

part of every contract for performance of

the described work within the

geographic area indicated as required by

an applicable Federal prevailing wage

law and 29 CFR Part 5. The wage rates

and fringe benefits, notice of which is

published herein, and which are

contained in the Government Printing

Office (GPO) document entitled

‘‘General Wage Determinations Issued

Under The Davis-Bacon And Related

Acts,’’ shall be the minimum paid by

contractors and subcontractors to

laborers and mechanics.

Any person, organization, or

government agency having an interest in

the rates determined as prevailing is

encouraged to submit wage rate and

fringe benefit information for

consideration by the Department.

Further information and selfexplanatory forms for the purpose of

submitting this data may be obtained by
