SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks PRA authority for the Evaluation 

of Strategies Used in the TechHire and 

Strengthening Working Families 

Initiative Grant Programs information 

collection that will support an 

evaluation of both the implementation 

and impact of the programs. The 

purpose of the evaluation is to identify

advance in H–1B industries and 

occupations and, if so, which strategies 

are most helpful. Consolidated

authorizes this information collection. 

See Public Law 114–113. 

This proposed 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
