FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: This ICR seeks OMB approval under the PRA for an initial information collection in support of an impact evaluation of the YouthBuild Program. Specifically, the DOL seeks to conduct a census survey of all 2011 DOL funded YouthBuild grantees and Corporation for National and Community Service funded grantees that do not also receive DOL funding. The impact evaluation of the YouthBuild Program is a seven-year experimental design impact evaluation. YouthBuild is a youth and community development program that addresses several core issues facing low-income communities: education, employment, crime prevention, leadership development, and housing. The program primarily serves high school dropouts and focuses on helping them attain a high school diploma or general educational development certificate and teaching them construction skills geared toward career placement. The evaluation will measure core program outcomes including educational attainment, postsecondary planning, employment, earnings, delinquency, and involvement with the criminal justice system, and youth social and emotional development. The evaluation represents an important opportunity for the DOL to add to the growing body of knowledge about the impacts of secondchance programs for youth who have dropped out of high school, including outcomes related to educational attainment, postsecondary planning, employment, earnings, delinquency, and involvement with the criminal justice system, and youth social and emotional development. 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 OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on May 11, 2011 (76 FR 27363).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks OMB approval under the PRA

conduct a census survey of all 2011 DOL funded YouthBuild grantees and 
Corporation for National and Community Service funded grantees that do 
not also receive DOL funding. The impact evaluation of the YouthBuild 
Program is a seven-year experimental design impact evaluation. 
YouthBuild is a youth and community development program that addresses 
several core issues facing low-income communities: education, 
employment, crime prevention, leadership development, and housing. The 
program primarily serves high school dropouts and focuses on helping 
them attain a high school diploma or general educational development 
certificate and teaching them construction skills geared toward career 
placement. The evaluation will measure core program outcomes including 
educational attainment, postsecondary planning, employment, earnings, 
delinquency, and involvement with the criminal justice system, and 
youth social and emotional development. The evaluation represents an 
important opportunity for the DOL to add to the growing body of 
knowledge about the impacts of second-chance programs for youth who 
have dropped out of high school, including outcomes related to 
educational attainment, postsecondary planning, employment, earnings, 
delinquency, and involvement with the criminal justice system, and 
youth social and emotional development.
    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
