ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden
conducts a preclearance 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 Office
of Job Corps is soliciting comments
concerning the collection of data for
forms relating to the standard contractor
information gathering and reporting
requirements (OMB Control Number

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: Job Corps is an
intensive, residential training program
for at-promise youth age 16 through 24
to address multiple barriers to
employment faced by youth throughout
the United States. Job Corps is
authorized by Title I, Subtitle C, of the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of
1998. The program is principally carried
out through a nationwide network of
122 Job Corps centers. The centers are
located at facilities either owned or
leased by the Federal Government. The
Department has a direct role in the
operation of Job Corps, and does not
serve as a pass-through agency for this
program. It is the Department’s
responsibility to establish Job Corps
centers and to select operators for them.
Of the 122 current centers, 28 are
operated by the Departments of
Agriculture and the Interior, through
interagency agreements. These centers
are located on Federal lands controlled
by these two agencies. The remaining 94
centers are managed and operated by
large and small corporations and
nonprofit organizations selected by the
Department in accordance with the
Federal Acquisition Regulations, and in
most cases through a competitive
procurement process. Many of the
current contractors manage and operate
more than one center.
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

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 19 / Friday, January 30, 2009 / Notices
* 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: The Request for
Proposal (RFP) provides potential
offerors with the Government’s
expectations for the development of
proposals to operate Job Corps centers.
The proposals developed by offerors in
response to the RFP are evaluated in
terms of technical factors and costs.
These proposals serve as the principal
basis for selection of a successful
offeror. The operation of the Job Corps
program is such that many activities
required of contractors must be
coordinated with other organizations,
both Federal and nonfederal. Most of
the information collection requirements
of Job Corps center operators stem
directly from operational needs or are
necessary to ensure compliance with
Federal requirements and the terms of

allows all centers to directly input data
into a national database. The
maintenance cost associated with the
system is estimated to be $2.7 million a
year for hardware and software.
Total Burden Cost (Operating/
Maintaining): The costs to contractors
for accomplishing record keeping
requirements are computed by the
Federal Government annually. While
precise costs cannot be identified, at the
present time and based on past
experience, the annual related costs for
contractor staff are estimated to be
$968,834, which represents an average
cost of $15.12 per hour.
Comments submitted in response to
this comment request will be

amended at 73 Federal Register (FR)
63038 (October 23, 2008).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Stephanie C. Garcia, 202–693–3207.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CWC
program allows an unemployed
individual with employment and wages
in more than one state to combine his/
her wages to establish a CWC under the
law of a single state called the ‘‘paying
state’’ to qualify for benefits or to
receive additional benefits (i.e., a higher
weekly benefit amount). On October 23,
2008, the U.S. Department of Labor
published a final rule in the Federal
Register changing the definition of
‘‘paying state.’’ Effective January 6,
2009, the definition of ‘‘paying state’’ at
20 CFR 616.6(e) is amended to mean a
single state against which the claimant
files a CWC, if (1) the claimant has
employment and wages in that state’s
base period, and (2) the claimant
qualifies for unemployment
compensation in that state using the
combined employment and wages.
On November 14, 2008, UIPL No. 1–

I. Background: Job Corps is an intensive, residential training
program for at-promise youth age 16 through 24 to address multiple
barriers to employment faced by youth throughout the United States. Job
Corps is authorized by Title I, Subtitle C, of the Workforce Investment
Act (WIA) of 1998. The program is principally carried out through a
nationwide network of 122 Job Corps centers. The centers are located at
facilities either owned or leased by the Federal Government. The
Department has a direct role in the operation of Job Corps, and does
not serve as a pass-through agency for this program. It is the
Department's responsibility to establish Job Corps centers and to
select operators for them. Of the 122 current centers, 28 are operated
by the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior, through interagency
agreements. These centers are located on Federal lands controlled by

by large and small corporations and nonprofit organizations selected by
the Department in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations,

the current contractors manage and operate more than one center.
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

* Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,

other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
III. Current Actions: The Request for Proposal (RFP) provides
potential offerors with the Government's expectations for the
development of proposals to operate Job Corps centers. The proposals
developed by offerors in response to the RFP are evaluated in terms of
technical factors and costs. These proposals serve as the principal

Total Estimated Burden: 62,525 hours.
Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup): The Office of Job Corps has
automated the data collection process for its centers. The Center
Information System allows all centers to directly input data into a
national database. The maintenance cost associated with the system is
estimated to be $2.7 million a year for hardware and software.
Total Burden Cost (Operating/Maintaining): The costs to contractors
for accomplishing record keeping requirements are computed by the
Federal Government annually. While precise costs cannot be identified,
at the present time and based on past experience, the annual related
costs for contractor staff are estimated to be $968,834, which
represents an average cost of $15.12 per hour.
Comments submitted in response to this comment request will be
summarized and/or included in the request for Office of Management and
Budget approval of the information collection request; they will also
become a matter of public record.
