ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of Labor
(DOL), 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
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that required
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed.
A copy of the proposed Information
Collection Request can be obtained by
contacting the office listed below in the
addressee section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addressee section below on or before
August 16, 2016.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by either one of the following methods:
Email: ChiefEvaluationOffice@dol.gov;
Mail or Courier: Janet Javar, Chief
Evaluation Office, U.S. Department of
Labor, Room S–2312, 200 Constitution
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210.
Instructions: Please submit one copy
of your comments by only one method.
All submissions received must include
the agency name and OMB Control
Number identified above for this

continue to experience delays in

encouraged to transmit their comments
electronically via email or to submit
them by mail early. Comments,

provided, become a matter of public

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00094
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
I. Background
The Department of Labor (DOL)
provides career readiness support for
Service Members separating from the
military and transitioning to civilian
employment. Prior to separation, DOL
provides the Transition Assistance
Program (TAP) Employment Workshop
and encourages separating Service
Members to connect with an American
Job Center (AJC). After separation, DOL
provides career and employment
services for recently separated veterans
at AJC locations throughout the United
States. AJCs provide support services for
recently separated Service Members,
including help with building and
tailoring a resume, one-on-one career
counseling, and translating military
experience and skills to civilian careers.
This data collection is part of an
evaluation designed to improve DOL’s
understanding of how emails and/or
text reminders could be used to
encourage Army soldiers in the E1 to E6
pay grades to take advantage of free
career and employment services
provided by AJCs. This may inform
future enhancements to the military’s
transition process in the TAP
Employment Workshop to improve
civilian employment among veterans.
Army soldiers in the E1 to E6 pay grades
represent a group that may experience
longer unemployment after separation,
may be less likely to take advantage of
TAP services or meet Career Readiness
Standards, and may stand to benefit
more significantly from the services
offered by AJCs than soldiers at higher
ranks. The Army soldiers in the E1 to
E6 pay grades who are participating in
the TAP Employment Workshop will
receive both pre-separation and postseparation reminders by email, text, or
both (depending on the soldier’s
selected preference). The reminders may
contain general and specific information
about AJC services, a link to the AJC
locator, and how to schedule an
appointment with an AJC
representative. This study will involve
the collection of data through a webbased survey of the Army veterans who
participated in the TAP Employment
Workshop and agreed to be a part of the
study.
II. Desired Focus of Comments

collection described above. Comments
