I. Background and Authority

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), the Department of Justice
announces the establishment of the AI/ AN Advisory Committee. The AI/AN Advisory Committee will advise the Attorney General on a broad array of issues relating to addressing the problem of AI/AN children exposed to
violence in the United States. The AI/ AN Advisory Committee is necessary and in the public interest. The duration of the AI/AN Advisory Committee is one year unless renewed by the Attorney General. The Committee will terminate on December 31, 2014. It is anticipated that the first meeting of the AI/AN Task Force Advisory Committee will occur after October 1, 2013.

Establishment of the AI/AN Advisory Committee implements a recommendation from the Attorney
General’s National Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence. The AI/ AN Advisory Committee is governed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth
standards for the formation and use of advisory committees. The AI/AN Advisory Committee shall advise the Attorney General on the pervasive problems associated with AI/AN children’s exposure to violence, and submit a final written report to the Attorney General with policy
recommendations to address these issues. The AI/AN Advisory Committee shall conduct up to 4 public hearings and 6 listening sessions to explore ways to improve the identification, screening, assessment, and treatment of AI/AN children traumatized by violence. It will also identify ways AI/AN communities can overcome the impact of violence, including consultation with AI/AN youth. The AI/AN Advisory Committee
will examine the needs of AI/AN children living in urban or rural settings outside of reservations and villages and pay special attention to issues of trauma
that AI/AN children who have been
convicted and sentenced to incarceration in the state, tribal and federal judicial systems may experience. II. Structure

The AI/AN Advisory Committee shall consist of up to 13 members, including the Chair. Members of the Advisory
Committee shall be chosen to ensure objectivity, professional expertise, and
balance. The members and chair shall
be selected from a cross section of experts who are knowledgeable about issues relating to AI/AN children’s exposure to violence. Members will
include current and former elected officials, practitioners, child and family advocates, licensed clinicians, and other subject matter experts. Members will be appointed by the Attorney General.
Members shall be invited to serve for the full term of the Advisory Committee (through October 31, 2014). The four (4) public hearings shall be held in locations identified by OJJDP and all other meetings shall be held at the call of the Designated Federal Officer who shall approve the agenda and shall be present at all meetings. A vacancy on the AI/AN Advisory Committee shall be
filled in the manner in which the original appointment was made and shall be subject to any conditions that applied with respect to the original appointment. An individual chosen to fill a vacancy shall be appointed for the
remainder of the term of the member replaced. The vacancy shall not affect the power of the remaining members to
execute the duties of the AI/AN Advisory Committee. All members of the AI/AN Advisory Committee shall
adhere to the conflict of interest rules applicable to Special Government Employees as such employees are defined in 18 U.S.C. 202(a). These rules include relevant provisions in 18 U.S.C. related to criminal activity, Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (5 CFR part 2635), and Executive Order 12674 (as modified by Executive Order 12731).

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

I. Background: American Job Centers (AJCs), formerly called One-Stop Career Centers, were established under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), to offer training referrals, career counseling, job listings, and similar employment-related services to help Americans find work and enhance their long-term economic security. Today, there are 1,751 comprehensive and 963 affiliate AJCs. By law, the AJC system must ensure that its programs, services, and facilities provide programmatic, communication, and physical accessibility to all qualified persons with disabilities (PWD) under Section 504 and Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 1 The level of accessibility of the AJC system for PWDs may be a factor in the employability of the 27 million Americans over 16 years old with disabilities. Therefore, it is important for policymakers to understand the level of accessibility and to identify ways to improve the accessibility of the AJC system for PWD.

The Evaluation of the Accessibility of American Job Centers (AJC) for People with Disabilities (PWD), funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Chief Evaluation Office, will help policymakers and program administrators understand the level of accessibility of AJCs and identify ways to improve the accessibility for PWD. In addition to identifying the degree to which AJCs provide accessible services to PWD, the study will examine differences in the levels of accessibility by the type of accessibility required, such as physical, programmatic, and communication and the characteristics of AJCs (e.g., affiliate vs. comprehensive, or rural vs. urban) or the nature of AJC services provided (e.g., core, intensive, and training). This is not an audit for compliance with laws and regulations regarding accessibility for American Job Centers. Rather, the purpose of the study is to gather data to paint a broad picture about the degree to which American Job Centers as a whole are accessible to persons with disabilities.

This package requests clearance for(1) a survey of AJC Directors, (2) semistructured interviews with AJC staff at 100 AJCs, (3) observations related to the accessibility of AJC activities and facilities at 100 AJCs and (4) focus groups with AJC customers with disabilities at 10 AJCs.

The survey will take place over a period of approximately three months. The survey will be administered to all 2,714 comprehensive and affiliate AJCs nationwide. The survey will be administered via the web and recipients will be notified about the survey by mail, with email reminders. Each survey will take about 40 minutes, on average, to complete, and an 80% response rate is expected.

All on-site data collection (i.e., interviews, observations and focus groups) will take place over a period of approximately four months. Interviews and observations will take place at approximately 100 comprehensive and affiliate AJCs nationwide. Between 4–5 staff members will be interviewed in each AJC and each interview will last 75 minutes, on average. Focus groups will involve approximately 8–10 customers in each group and reasonable accommodations for disabilities will be provided for all attending participants, as needed. Focus groups will last approximately 90 minutes and all participants will receive $25 for their attendance.

II. Desired Focus of Comments: Currently, the Department of Labor is soliciting comments concerning the above data collection for the Evaluation the Accessibility of American Job Centers for People with Disabilities. Comments are requested to:

* 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 information collection on those who are to respond, including 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: At this time, the Department of Labor is requesting clearance to conduct (1) one survey of all comprehensive and affiliate AJC Directors, (2) semi-structured interviews and observations with staff from 100 American Job Centers (AJCs), and (3) focus groups with AJC customers with disabilities at 10 AJCs, for the Evaluation of the Accessibility of American Job Centers for People with Disabilities.

Type of review: New information collection request.

OMB Control Number: 1205–0NEW. Affected Public: American Job Center
Directors.

Frequency: One survey. Total Responses: 2,171. Average Time per Response: 40 minutes.
