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. ETA is soliciting
comments on a new data collection for
the High Growth Job Training Initiative
(HGJTI) and Community-Based Job
Training (CBJT) programs. A copy of the
proposed information collection request

Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
I. Background
Grantees that are awarded High
Growth Job Training Initiative (HGJTI)
grants and the Community-Based Job
Training Grants (CBJTG) will be
required to submit standardized
quarterly reports summarizing the
number and types of participants served
by grantees, the number of exiters, the
number of participants engaged in
training activities, and participant
outcomes. These outcomes include the
number of participants who received a
degree or certificate, who were placed in
employment, and who were placed in
training-related employment. In
addition, ETA will require grantees to
submit records of program exiters on a
quarterly basis. These records will help
ETA compute the Office of Management
and Budget’s (OMB) common job
training and employment performance
measures, gauge the effects of the HGJTI
and CBJTG grants, identify grantees that
could serve as useful models, and target
technical assistance appropriately.
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The HGJTI and CBJTG reporting and
record keeping requirements are
consistent with the President’s
Management Agenda to improve the
management and performance of the
Federal government and OMB’s
common performance measures. The
measures are applied to certain
Federally funded employment and
training programs with similar strategic
goals, including the HGJTI and CBJTG
programs. These common performance
measures enhance the government’s
ability to assess the effectiveness of the
workforce investment system as a
whole, including its performance in
serving people who face significant
barriers to employment. By minimizing
the differences in reporting and
performance requirements across
programs, common performance
measures facilitate the integration of
service delivery and break down
barriers to coordination among
programs. Common performance
measures also reduce the reporting
burden for states and grantees, by
providing consistent performance
measurement definitions and
methodologies across programs.
The common job training and
employment measures are, therefore, a
key component of the HGJTI and CBJTG
performance accountability system,
because they permit the core purposes
of the workforce system to be described
in a similar manner.
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;
• Suggest how to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
• Suggest how to 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.
