$2,154,320 Non-Hour Cost Burdens
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified three non-hour
paperwork cost burdens for this
collection. Respondents pay cost
recovery fees when removing a platform
or other facility under § 250.1727 for
$4,684, or for decommissioning a
pipeline under § 250.1751(a)—L/T for
$1,142 or a ROW for $2,170. The fees
are required to recover the Federal
Government’s processing costs, and we
have not identified any others. We
estimate a total reporting non-hour cost
burden of $2,154,320 for this collection.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
requires each agency ‘‘. . . to provide
notice . . . and otherwise consult with
members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information . . .’’.
Agencies must specifically solicit
comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the
collection is necessary or useful; (b)
evaluate the accuracy of the burden of
the proposed collection of information;
(c) enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) minimize the burden
on the respondents, including the use of
technology.
Agencies must also estimate the nonhour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting
from the collection of information.
Therefore, if you have other than hour
burden costs to generate, maintain, and
disclose this information, you should
comment and provide your total capital
and startup cost components or annual
operation, maintenance, and purchase
of service components. For further
information on this burden, refer to 5
CFR 1320.3(b)(1) and (2), or contact the

Bureau representative listed previously
in this notice.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
Public Comment Procedures: Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The information collection activities
described in this notice will provide
data for a systems analysis, as well as
implementation and outcome evaluation
of the Performance Partnership Pilots
for Disconnected Youth (P3) Program.
Through the first cohort of P3 grantees,
five partnering Federal agencies—the
Departments of Education (DOE), Labor
(DOL), and Health and Human Services
(HHS), along with the Corporation for
National and Community Service (CNS)
and the Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS)—are testing innovative,
cost-effective, and outcome-focused
strategies for improving results for
disconnected youth. Disconnected
youth are defined as low-income youth
between the ages of 14 and 24 and are
either homeless, in foster care, involved
in the juvenile justice system,
unemployed, or not enrolled in or at
risk of dropping out of school. The
Federal partners hope to learn more
about whether allowing states,
localities, and Indian tribes greater
flexibility to pool funds and waive
programmatic requirements will help
them overcome significant hurdles they
face in providing effective services to
and improving outcomes for
disconnected youth. In October 2015,
nine competitively-awarded grantees
were announced as the first cohort of
P3. They received up to $700,000 in
start-up funds and the flexibility to
blend or braid existing discretionary
funds from across programs to improve
the outcomes of disconnected youth.
This information collection covers the
systems analysis, as well as
implementation and outcomes study
which will address four main research
questions: (1) How do the pilots use the
flexibility offered by P3 to implement
P3 models and interventions to improve
the outcomes of disconnected youth? (2)
How has each pilot structured its P3
system and work across partners to
provide effective services to
disconnected youth? (3) What system
change resulted from P3? and (4) Who
are the youth who participate in P3,
what services do they receive, and what
are their outcomes? This Federal
Register Notice provides the
opportunity to comment on three
proposed data collection instruments
that will be used in the P3
implementation evaluation:
• Site visit protocols. The two site
visits, anticipated to occur in 2017 and
2018, will include semi-structured
interviews with grantee and partners
administrators and staff and
observations of program activities. Field
researchers will use a modular
interview guide, organized by major
topics that can be adapted based on the
respondent’s knowledge base, to prompt
discussions on topics of interest to the
study.
• Focus group protocols. During each
implementation study visit, the
evaluation team will conduct three
focus groups per site. Each round of site
visits will also include focus groups
with youth participants. The protocol
will be used to learn about P3
participants, including their initial
interest and enrollment in P3, their
experiences in the program, and their
expectations for the future.
• Partner Survey. The survey will be
administered during the two site visits
to those partners working with the
grantees. To better understand
relationships of the partner entities
within the pilot, the survey, a brief
targeted tool, will explore the strength
of relationships between the key entities
(partners) involved in the P3 pilot. The
short survey will systematically collect
information on select elements of
partner interactions (frequency of
communication, level of collaboration,
and service referrals).
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Department of Labor is
soliciting comments concerning the
above data collection for the P3
program. DOL is particularly interested
in comments that do the following:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
• evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s burden estimate of the
proposed information collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions;
• 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—
for example, permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
III. Current Actions
At this time, the Department of Labor
is requesting clearance for the
implementation site visit protocols, the
focus group protocols, and a survey.
Type of Review: New information
collection request.
OMB Control Number: 1205–0NEW.
Affected Public: Staff of state and
local government agencies, for-profit
institutions, and not-for-profit
institutions; and youth participants.
Respondent groups identified include
(1) administrators and staff of grantees
and partners organizations and (2) youth
participants.
