This ICR
seeks PRA authority for the
Demonstration and Evaluation of the
Short-Time Compensation Program
(STC) information collection. The STC
program is an option within the
Unemployment Insurance (UI) system
that allows an employer to reduce the
hours of workers, while permitting
workers to receive partial UI benefits for
the non-worked hours. The objective of
STC is to avoid layoffs during periods
of reduced labor demand and, thereby,
allow businesses to maintain their
operations, retain valued employees,
and prevent company morale from
deteriorating. The DOL seeks to conduct
a rigorous demonstration and impact
evaluation of STC programs in two
states in order better to understand the
reasons for low take-up of STC and to
evaluate the effectiveness of
interventions designed to increase
employer use. More specifically, the
DOL seeks OMB approval under the
PRA for an information collection to
conduct (1) in-depth interviews with
state agency officials and employers and
(2) employer surveys. These information
collections are essential elements of the
implementation study and the rigorous
impact evaluation of the demonstration
of the STC program. Middle Class Tax
Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012
section 2166 authorizes this information
collection. See 26 U.S.C. 3304 note.
This proposed 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

practical utility;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
A federal grant is an award of
financial assistance from a federal
agency to a recipient to carry out a
public purpose of support or
stimulation authorized by a law of the
United States. The NASA Procurement
Office supports NASA research, science,
and education communities through the
award of research/education/and
training grants in the science,
technology, engineering, and math
(STEM) fields. NASA has a continuing
commitment to identify and address
inequities associated with its grant
review and awards processes. To
support that commitment, NASA is
implementing a process to collect
demographic data from grant applicants
for the purpose of analyzing
demographic differences associated
with its award processes. Information
collected will include name, gender,
race, ethnicity, disability status, and
citizenship status.
Submission of the information is
voluntary and is not a precondition of
award. However, if the information is
not submitted, it will undermine the
usefulness of information received from
others.

Data

whether the information collected has
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
NASA’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
