19884 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 20, 2024 / Notices 

693–3153 (this is not a toll-free number) 

or by email at pena.stephanie.l@dol.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as 

part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for final 

approval. This program helps to ensure 

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 can be properly assessed. 

The YouthBuild Work Site 

Description and Housing Census (ETA– 

9143) form collects information about 

the proposed work sites for low-income 

or homeless individuals or families 

where YouthBuild participants receive 

training and participate in construction 

skills activities. This form also collects 

information annually on the number of 

housing units that grantees build or 

renovate each year, which allows ETA 

to demonstrate the annual increase in 

affordable housing supported by 

YouthBuild. ETA is proposing changes 

to the Annual Housing Census portion 

of ETA–9143 form that reduces the 

burden collection. 

The accuracy, reliability, and 

comparability of program reports 

submitted by grantees using Federal 

funds are fundamental elements of good 

public administration and are necessary 

tools for maintaining and demonstrating 

system integrity. The Workforce 

Innovation and Opportunity Act (29 

U.S.C. 3101) authorizes this information 

collection. 

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 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. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB 1205–0464. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. DOL encourages commenters 

not to include personally identifiable 

information, confidential business data, 

or other sensitive statements/ 

information in any comments. 

DOL is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• 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 submission 

of responses).

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND 

BUDGET 

Methods and Leading Practices for 

Advancing Public Participation and 

Community Engagement With the 

Federal Government 

AGENCY: Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB), Executive Office of the 

President. 

ACTION: Request for Information (RFI). 

SUMMARY: The Federal Government is 

committed to making it easier for the 

American people to engage with their 

Government, and to harnessing their 

knowledge, needs, and lived 

experiences to improve how 

Government works for them and with 

them. Federal laws and Executive 

directives require agencies to frequently 

consult with the public to inform 

regulations, policies, program and 

service design, and other actions. 

However, these consultation efforts may 

be perceived as inaccessible, 

convoluted, or disconnected from the 

interests and priorities of impacted 

stakeholders. According to the 2023 

Partnership for Public Service (PPS) 

survey on trust in government, only 

about 1 in 5 Americans believe that the 

Federal Government ‘‘listens to the 

public’’ or ‘‘is transparent.’’ 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), in partnership with Federal 

agencies and the public, is working to 

develop a government-wide framework, 

common guidelines, and leading 

practices for public participation and 

community engagement (PPCE or 

‘‘participation and engagement’’). This 

framework will enable agencies to more 

frequently, effectively, broadly, and 

meaningfully involve the public, 

including underserved communities, in 

government decision-making. 

Through this Request for Information 

(RFI), OMB seeks input on the 

experiences of individuals and 

organizations, including from 

underserved communities, with 

informing Federal Government 

decision-making and participating in 

engagement activities with government 

agencies; examples of leading practices 

in this space; and other 

recommendations on available methods, 

approaches, and tools that could assist 

in the effort to develop and implement 

a Federal framework for participation 

and engagement. OMB welcomes input 

from a wide and diverse array of 

stakeholders in the public, private, 

advocacy, not-for-profit, and 

philanthropic sectors, including State, 

local, Tribal, and territorial 

governments. OMB will review and 

consider the usability and applicability 

of responses to this RFI as OMB 

develops a Federal framework for PPCE 

and supports agencies in their work to 

ensure that their policies and actions are 

responsive to all Americans. 

DATES: Responses to this RFI should be 

received by May 17, 2024. To the extent 

practicable, OMB will also consider 

comments received after that date. 

ADDRESSES: In an effort to improve 

accessibility, OMB is offering multiple 

options to provide feedback. 

Responses can be submitted via the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://

www.regulations.gov/. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Alternatively, responses may be 

submitted through a simple form at 

https://www.performance.gov/ 

participation/. Instructions for 

submitting responses through that form 

can be found on the site, as well as 

options to register for events that OMB 

will host to gather live input and 

feedback from the public. Participation 

in these events is not required in order 

to respond to this RFI. 

Instructions for Submission: Written 

comments should not exceed 10 pages. 

Attachments or linked resources or 

documents are not included in the 10- 

page limit. Please use concise, plain 

language in narrative or bullet format. 

OMB has provided some key questions 

on which public insights would be most 

valuable (see Supplementary 

Information, Part III). You may respond 

to some or all of these questions, and 

additional feedback beyond these 

questions is also welcome. Any links 

you provide to online materials or 

presentations must be publicly 

accessible. Each response should 

include: 

• The name of the individual(s) and/ 

or organization(s) responding; 

• RFI question(s), topic(s), and/or 

policy suggestions that your submission 

and materials address; 

• A brief description of the 

responding individual(s) and/or 

organization(s)’s mission and/or areas of 

experience or expertise; and 

• A contact for questions or other 

follow-up on your response. 

Please feel free to share this RFI with 

colleagues or others for feedback, 

including those who may be familiar 

with effective outreach to underserved 

communities. 

Privacy Act Statement: Response to 

this RFI is voluntary. The information 

will be used to inform sound decisionmaking regarding the PPCE framework 

and other related matters. Please note 

that all submissions received in 

response to this notice may be posted on 

https://www.regulations.gov/ or 

otherwise released in their entirety, 

including any personal and business 

confidential information provided. Do
