and Budget (OMB) for review and approval for continued use in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.).
DATES: Submit comments on or before December 31, 2012.

including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR is for continued authorization of
three primary and two secondary data collection instruments used to
collect follow-up data on individuals who are no longer actively
participating in Job Corps. The instruments are comprised of modules
that include questions designed to obtain the following information:
re-verification of initial job and/or school placements, employment and
educational experiences, job search activities of those who are neither
working nor in school, and information about former participants'
satisfaction with services received.
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 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 collection of information if the
collection of information does not display a valid Control Number. See
5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control Number 1205-0426. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2012; however, it
should be noted that existing information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they
undergo review. For additional information, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on October 1, 2012 (77 FR 59984).
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in
the ADDRESSES section by December 31, 2012. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number
1205-0426. The OMB 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.
Agency: DOL-ETA.
Title of Collection: Placement Verification and Follow-up of Job
