Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Information 

Collection Request for the Evaluation 

of the Access Point Initiative 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance 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 (ETA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the collection of 

data about the Access Point Initiative. 

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 

ADDRESSES section below on or before 

September 8, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

to Kevin Thompson, Room S–4231, 

Employment and Training 

Administration, 200 Constitution 

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210. 

Telephone number: 202–693–2925 (this 

is not a toll-free number). Fax: 202–693– 

3015; or by e-mail at 

Thompson.Kevin@dol.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: This information 

collection is intended to collect data 

with which to evaluate the ETA’s 

Access Point Initiative. Access Points 

are employment information centers 

and satellites to DOL-funded One Stop 

Career Centers. While One Stop Centers 

provide employment-related services to 

a large number and wide array of job 

seekers, some of the individuals on the 

margins of the labor market, such as 

high school dropouts, ex-offenders, and 

persons with low occupational skill 

levels in high-poverty neighborhoods, 

have still not been reached by the One 

Stop system. To reach them and to 

provide them with employment services 

in a cost-effective manner, the 

Department of Labor started the Access 

Point initiative, providing funds for 

training in how to establish Access 

Points. Access Points are set up and run 

by local Faith-Based and Community 

Organizations (FBCOs) as a volunteer 

effort. They are located in areas that 

include a relatively large number of 

unemployed individuals with few of the 

resources needed to find stable 

employment. Access Points provide job 

seekers from their neighborhoods with 

job-search information, some services, 

and referrals to One Stops and other 

service providers. 

A two-stage training process is used to 

establish Access Points: First, 

contractors train local coordinators 

(called SHARE Network coordinators); 

and second, the SHARE Network 

coordinators train FBCO personnel in 

how to establish and run Access Points. 

SHARE Networks are statewide 

computerized networks that provide 

employment-related information at the 

local level. SHARE Networks include 

non-profit FBCOs (including all Access 

Points), for-profit organizations, and 

government agencies that provide 

employment services and choose to 

participate in the network. 

Three related surveys are proposed to 

collect data for an evaluation report to 

ETA: 

(1) A SHARE Network Coordinator 

Survey that assesses training received 

and relations with Access Points; 

(2) An Access Point POC (Point-ofContact) Survey that provides data on 

the implementation and functioning of 

Access Points; and 

(3) A One Stop Director Survey that 

provides an assessment of Access Points 

and their relation to the local workforce 

system. 

These three surveys are electronic and 

will be conducted via E-mail and a link 

to a centralized server. 

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: 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Agency: Employment and Training 

Administration. 

Title: Evaluation of the Access Point 

Initiative. 

OMB Number: 1205–0NEW. 

Affected Public: Not-for-profit 

institutions; State, local, or tribal 

government. 

Form: None. 

Total Respondents: Exhibit 1 shows 

the annual number of respondents for 

all three surveys, together with the 

anticipated response rate, the average 

time required to complete each survey, 

the cost per respondent per survey, and 

the total cost per survey. The time 

estimates and hourly costs are derived 

from pretests with nine respondents for 

each survey. All three surveys are 

population surveys; statistical sampling 

will not be used.

collections. The total population to be 

surveyed is therefore 230 + 300 + 80 = 

610. 

The total hours requested: 98. 

Frequency: Three one-time surveys 

are to be administered in 2009—the 

SHARE Network Coordinator, Access 

Point POC, and One Stop Director 

Surveys. 

Total Responses: 458. 

Average Time per Response, based on 

pretests: Access Point POC Survey—17

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 98. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/ 

maintaining): Per-hour costs are 

estimated from pretest survey data as 

follows: SHARE Network Coordinator 

$20/hr.; Access Point POCs $19/hr; One 

Stop Center Director $36/hr. Access 

Point customers are unemployed but are 

assigned a minimum-wage cost of $7.25/ 

hr., which takes effect in July, 2009. The 

costs for 2009 are:
