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 [44
U.S.C. 3506 (c) (A)] (PRA). The PRA
helps ensure that respondents can
provide requested data in the desired
format with minimal reporting burden
(time and financial resources),
collection instruments are clearly
understood and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed.
Currently, ETA is soliciting comments
concerning the information collection
request (ICR) to collect data for the
Evaluation of the Young Parents
Demonstration Program (YPDP).1
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB 1205–0494.
DATES: Submit written comments to the
office listed in the addresses section
below on or before September 8, 2015.
ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with
applicable supporting documentation;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The proposed reinstatement with
change of information collection is for
an evaluation of the YPDP. The YPDP is
sponsored by ETA to test innovative
strategies that can improve the skills
and education of young parents and,
ultimately their employment and
earnings.
The YPDP grantees are required to
develop a ‘‘bump-up’’ intervention
providing an additional level of services
above and beyond the existing services
currently provided that are specifically
intended to increase an individual’s
education, job training and
employment. A key factor in the bumpup design is having a single, persistent
intervention for the treatment group that
is substantially different from what the
control group receives. Each of the
grantees is implementing one of the
following two bump-up interventions:
• Mentoring Models—Intensive
professional staff mentoring specifically
for education, employment, and
training; and specifically for pregnant
and parenting teens and young parents;
or
• Employment/Education/Training
Models—Guided employment,
education, training and related supports
specifically for pregnant and parenting
teens and young parents.
Individuals enrolling in YPDP have a
50/50 chance of receiving this
additional level of services. Those
individuals not receiving the bump-up
services receive the existing services
offered by the grantee.
To evaluate the YPDP bump-up
interventions, we will compare the

education, employment, and other
outcomes for the two groups over
various points in time. The evaluation
will estimate the success in providing
educational and occupational skills
training that fosters family economic
self-sufficiency to young parents (both
mothers and fathers) and expectant
parents ages 16–24.
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.
