This ICR
covers two follow-up surveys conducted
15 and 30 months after randomly
assigning a sample of approximately
6,000 Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
customers included in the WIA
Evaluation into control or treatment
groups; cost data collected on three
forms—a program costs questionnaire, a
staff activity log, and a resource room
sign-in sheet—for use in estimating the
costs of WIA services received by
sample members for the benefit-cost
analysis; and collection of veterans
data—consisting of qualitative data on
veterans served at the 28 Local
Workforce Investment Areas (LWIAs)
participating in the WIA Evaluation. For
the Veterans Supplemental Study (VSS)
qualitative analysis, additional
questions and several activities will be
added to the WIA Evaluation’s second
round of site visits to the 28 LWIAs. A
separate quantitative analysis will use
two sets of administrative data that
States already report to the DOL–WIA
Standardized Record Data and WagnerPeyser data. Because the data are
already reported to the DOL, there is no
additional burden associated with this
quantitative data collection.
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 Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register
on June 25, 2012 (77 FR 37923).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB ICR Reference Number
201208–1205–012. The OMB is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• 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;
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

• 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.
