This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Overpayment Recovery Questionnaire,
Form OWCP–20, which is necessary to
determine whether the recovery of any
Black Lung, Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act or Federal Employees’
Compensation overpayment may be
waived, compromised, terminated, or
collected in full.
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. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1240–0051. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2015; however, it should
be noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
For additional information, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on July 23, 2015 (80 FR 43800).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at

This ICR
seeks PRA authority for the National
Guard Youth ChalleNGe Job ChalleNGe
Evaluation information collection. The
National Guard Youth ChalleNGe
program is one of a handful of
interventions that have demonstrated
positive, sustained impacts on the
educational attainment and labor market
outcomes of youth who are not in
school or the labor force. The goal of
Youth ChalleNGe, a residential program,
is to build confidence and maturity,
teach practical life skills, and help
youth obtain a high school diploma or
GED. The program’s numerous activities
address its eight core pillars: leadership/
followership, responsible citizenship,
service to community, life-coping skills,
physical fitness, health and hygiene, job
skills, and academic excellence. To
build on the success of Youth
ChalleNGe, the Employment and
Training Administration issued $12
million in grants in early 2015 for three
Youth ChalleNGe programs to: (1)

expand the program’s target population
to include youth who have been
involved with the courts and (2) add an
occupational training component,
known as Job ChalleNGe. The addition
of the Job ChalleNGe component will
expand the residential time by five
months and offer the following
activities: (1) Occupation skills training,
(2) individualized career and academic
counseling, (3) work-based learning
opportunities, and (4) leadership
development activities.
The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe
Job ChalleNGe Evaluation will help
policymakers and program
administrators determine the impacts of
expanding Youth ChalleNGe to courtinvolved youth and adding the Job
ChalleNGe component to the existing
Youth ChalleNGe model. The study will
evaluate how these program
enhancements are implemented and
how effective they are, both for youth
overall and for court-involved youth in
particular. The study will address four
research questions: (1) How were the
programs implemented?, (2) What
impacts did Youth ChalleNGe and Job
ChalleNGe have on the outcomes of
participants?, (3) To what extent did
participation in Job ChalleNGe change
the overall impact of Youth ChalleNGe
on program participants?, and (4) To
what extent did impacts vary for
selected subpopulations of participants?
The first research question will be
addressed through an implementation
study of the three grantee
demonstrations. The remaining three
questions will be addressed through an
impact study of the Youth ChalleNGe
and Job ChalleNGe programs. For the
impact study, the feasibility of using
randomized controlled trials to estimate
program effectiveness will be assessed;
if needed, a comparison group of youth
from Youth ChalleNGe sites that did not
receive grants will be included in the
study. Only youth who agree to
participate in the study will be allowed
to participate in the Youth ChalleNGe
and Job ChalleNGe programs at the
grantees included in the study; active
consent will be obtained from youth 18
years of age or older and from a parent
or guardian of youth under the age of
18.
This ICR consists of two types of
proposed data collection instruments to
be used in the National Guard Youth
ChalleNGe Job ChalleNGe evaluation.
The first is a Baseline Information Form
that will be included in the Youth
ChalleNGe application packet and
completed by youth. The form will
collect demographic information as well
as baseline measures of major outcome
variables, including: current

employment, past delinquency,
expectations about future education,
work experience and other topics, and
detailed contact information. The
second is a set of site visit protocols.
Site visits will occur twice. The first
will occur early in the study period and
will collect information about grantees’
plans and procedures, the backgrounds
and experiences of youth served, the
nature of employers’ involvement in the
programs, and other topics. The second
visit will occur later in the grant and
evaluation periods and will collect
information on whether and how plans
and activities for the Youth ChalleNGe
and Job ChalleNGe programs have
changed since the first visit. Workforce
Investment Act section 171(c)(2)
authorizes this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 2916(c)(2). A future ICR
will include an 18-month follow up
survey of youth in the Job ChalleNGe
treatment and control or comparison
groups.
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

This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Main Fan Operation and Inspection (I–
A, II–A, III, and V–A Mines) information
collection. Potentially gassy (explosive)
conditions underground are largely
controlled by main fans. When
accumulations of explosive gases, such
as methane, are not swept from the mine
by the main fans, they may reasonably
be expected to contact an ignition
source. The results of such contacts are
usually disastrous, and multiple
fatalities may be reasonably expected to
occur. The Main Fan Operation and
Inspection standard contains
significantly more stringent
requirements for main fans in gassy
mines than for main fans in other mines.
Regulations 30 CFR 57.22204, which
only applies to gassy metal and
nonmetal underground mines, requires
main fans to have pressure-recording
systems. The standard also requires
main fans to be inspected daily while
operating if persons are underground
and certification made of such
inspections by signature and date.
Certifications and pressure recordings
must be retained for one year and made
available to authorized representatives

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the
National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Job ChalleNGe Evaluation information
collection. The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe program is one of a
handful of interventions that have demonstrated positive, sustained
impacts on the educational attainment and labor market outcomes of
youth who are not in school or the labor force. The goal of Youth
ChalleNGe, a residential program, is to build confidence and maturity,
teach practical life skills, and help youth obtain a high school
diploma or GED. The program's numerous activities address its eight
core pillars: leadership/followership, responsible citizenship, service
to community, life-coping skills, physical fitness, health and hygiene,
job skills, and academic excellence. To build on the success of Youth
ChalleNGe, the Employment and Training Administration issued $12
million in grants in early 2015 for three Youth ChalleNGe programs to:
(1) expand the program's target population to include youth who have
been involved with the courts and (2) add an occupational training
component, known as Job ChalleNGe. The addition of the Job ChalleNGe
component will expand the residential time by five months and offer the
following activities: (1) Occupation skills training, (2)
individualized career and academic counseling, (3) work-based learning
opportunities, and (4) leadership development activities.
The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Job ChalleNGe Evaluation will
help policymakers and program administrators determine the impacts of
expanding Youth ChalleNGe to court-involved youth and adding the Job
ChalleNGe component to the existing Youth ChalleNGe model. The study
will evaluate how these program enhancements are implemented and how
effective they are, both for youth overall and for court-involved youth
in particular. The study will address four research questions: (1) How
were the programs implemented?, (2) What impacts did Youth ChalleNGe
and Job ChalleNGe have on the outcomes of participants?, (3) To what
extent did participation in Job ChalleNGe change the overall impact of
Youth ChalleNGe on program participants?, and (4) To what extent did
impacts vary for selected subpopulations of participants? The first
research question will be addressed through an implementation study of
the three grantee demonstrations. The remaining three questions will be
addressed through an impact study of the Youth ChalleNGe and Job
ChalleNGe programs. For the impact study, the feasibility of using
randomized controlled trials to estimate program effectiveness will be
assessed; if needed, a comparison group of youth from Youth ChalleNGe
sites that did not receive grants will be included in the study. Only
youth who agree to participate in the study will be allowed to
participate in the Youth ChalleNGe and Job ChalleNGe programs at the
grantees included in the study; active consent will be obtained from
youth 18 years of age or older and from a parent or guardian of youth
under the age of 18.
This ICR consists of two types of proposed data collection
instruments to be used in the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Job
ChalleNGe evaluation. The first is a Baseline Information Form that
will be included in the Youth ChalleNGe application packet and
completed by youth. The form will collect demographic information as
well as baseline measures of major outcome variables, including:
current employment, past delinquency, expectations about future
education, work experience and other topics, and detailed contact
information. The second is a set of site visit protocols. Site visits
will occur twice. The first will occur early in the study period and
will collect information about grantees' plans and procedures, the
backgrounds and experiences of youth served, the nature of employers'
involvement in the programs, and other topics. The second visit will
occur later in the grant and evaluation periods and will collect
information on whether and how plans and activities for the Youth
ChalleNGe and Job ChalleNGe programs have changed since the first
visit. Workforce Investment Act section 171(c)(2) authorizes this
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 2916(c)(2). A future ICR will
include an 18-month follow up survey of youth in the Job ChalleNGe
treatment and control or comparison groups.
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 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 July 23, 2015 (80 FR 43796).
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 thirty (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 201509-
1291-002. 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;
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;
[[Page 80818]]
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.
