Comment Request for Information
Collection for Reintegration of ExOffenders-Adult Reporting System,
Extension With Program Name Change
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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
Employment and Training
Administration is soliciting comments
concerning the collection of data about
the extension of the currently approved
reporting and recordkeeping system to
support the Reintegration of ExOffenders-Adult (RExO–Adult) grants,
which expires on March 31, 2012.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained
by contacting the office listed below in
the addressee section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addressee’s section below on or before
January 3, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In applying for the Reintegration of
Ex-Offender-Adult (formerly Prisoner
Reentry Initiative) grants, faith-based
and community organization grantees
agree to submit participant data and
quarterly aggregate reports for
individuals who receive services
through RExO–Adult programs and
their partnerships with One-Stop
Centers, local Workforce Investment
Boards, employment providers, the
criminal justice system, and local
housing authorities. The reports include
aggregate data on demographic
characteristics, types of services
received, placements, outcomes, and
follow-up status. Specifically, they
summarize data on participants who
received employment and placement
services, housing assistance, mentoring,
and other services essential to
reintegrating ex-offenders through
RExO–Adult programs.
This requests an extension of the
currently approved information
collection to meet the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements of the
Reintegration of Ex-Offenders-Adult
grants through an ETA-provided, Webbased Management Information System
(MIS). In addition to reporting
participant information and
performance-related outcomes, RExO–
Adult grantees demonstrate their ability
to establish effective partnerships with
the criminal justice system, local
Workforce Investment Boards, local
housing authorities, and other partner
agencies. They also document the cost
effectiveness of their projects.
The MIS reporting and recordkeeping
system incorporates each of these
aspects necessary for program
evaluation.
Five outcome measures are used to
measure success in the RExO–Adult
grants: entered employment rate,
employment retention rate, attainment
of a degree or certificate, average sixmonth post-program earnings, and
recidivism rate.
Several of these conform to the
common performance measures
implemented across federal job training
programs as of July 1, 2005. By
standardizing the reporting and
performance requirements of different
programs, the common measures give
ETA the ability to compare across
programs the core goals of the workforce
system—how many people entered jobs;
how many stayed employed; and how
E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM
04NON1
68510
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 214 / Friday, November 4, 2011 / Notices
many successfully completed an
educational program. Although the
common measures are an integral part of
ETA’s performance accountability
system, these measures provide only
part of the information necessary to
effectively oversee the workforce
investment system. ETA also collects
data from RExO–Adult grantees on
program activities, participants, and
outcomes that are necessary for program
management and for conveying full and
accurate information on the
performance of RExO–Adult programs
to policymakers and stakeholders.
This information collection maintains
a reporting and record-keeping system
for a minimum level of information
collection that is necessary to comply
with Equal Opportunity requirements,
to hold RExO-Adult grantees
appropriately accountable for the
Federal funds they receive, including
common performance measures, and to
allow the Department to fulfill its
oversight and management
responsibilities.
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
• 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.

Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on August 26, 2011,
applicable to workers of Grays Harbor
Paper, LLC, Hoquiam, Washington. The
workers are engaged in activities related
to the production of uncoated free sheet
paper. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on September 14, 2011
(76 FR 56816).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that workers from
Barrier West, Inc. were employed onsite at the Hoquiam, Washington
location of Grays Harbor Paper, LLC.
The Department has determined that
these workers were sufficiently under
the control of Grays Harbor Paper, LLC
to be included in this certification.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
the subject firm adversely affected by
increased imports of uncoated free sheet
paper.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers from
Barrier West, Inc. working on-site at the
