— 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.
Overview of This Information
(1) Type of information collection:
Information in response to the required
data elements outlined in the
solicitation template for programs
administered by the Office of Justice
Programs.
(2) The title of the form/collection:
Office of Justice Programs solicitation
template.
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The Office of Audit, Assessment, and
Management, Office of Justice Programs,
U.S. Department of Justice.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: State agencies, tribal
governments, local governments,
colleges and universities, non-profit
organizations, for-profit organizations
and faith-based organizations. The
purpose of the solicitation template is to
provide a framework to develop
program-specific announcements
soliciting applications for funding. A
program solicitation outlines the
specifics of the funding program;
describes requirements for eligibility;
instructs an applicant on the necessary
components of an application under a
specific program (e.g., project activities
and timeline, proposed budget); outlines
program evaluation and performance
measures; explains selection criteria and
the review process; and provides
registration dates, due dates, and
instructions on how to apply within the
designated application system.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that
information will be collected annually
from 9,800 applicants, representing
State agencies, tribal governments, local
governments, colleges and universities,
non-profit organizations, and for-profit
organizations. Annual cost to the
respondents is based on the number of

hours involved in preparing and
submitting a complete application
package. Public reporting burden for
this collection of information is
estimated at up to 30 hours per
application. The 30-hour estimate is
based on the amount of time to prepare
research and evaluation proposals, one
of the most time intensive types of
applications solicited by OJP. The
estimate of burden hours is based on
OJP’s prior experience with the research
application submissions process.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is
294,000 hours.
If additional information is required

Clearance Officer, United States

Management Division, Policy and
Planning Staff, Suite 1600, 601 D Street,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Latino Americans are one of the
fastest-growing segments of the
American workforce, and projections
indicate that this trend will continue.
Latinos represent a substantial
workforce asset because of their overall
youth and notable rates of labor force
participation, particularly in light of
trends such as the aging of the
workforce and slower labor force
growth. However, Latinos tend to be
concentrated in occupations with
relatively low wages and few career
options and experience higher
unemployment rates and lower earnings
than most other U.S. population groups.
Workforce development is vital to
ensuring that this growing portion of the
U.S. labor force can reach its full
potential. Yet, the Latino population
and workforce are very diverse, and
more detailed, specific information has
been needed to ensure that programs
and services are tailored to the various
types of Latino workers’ needs and
preferences.
To understand the continuum of
Latino perspectives on the economy,
jobs, and public workforce investment
system and increase the capacity to
assist local workforce investment
boards, the proposed survey, Voice of
Latino Workforce Experience, will
collect and analyze first-person
accounts of experiences and opinions
from Latino workers in Washington, DC,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Chicago,
Illinois.
This will be a one-time telephone
survey with a sample of self-identified
Latino workers in each of the three
metropolitan regions. The survey will
