SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The fourth round of
the Trade Adjustment Assistance
Community College Career Training
(TAACCCT) grants program continues to
provide community colleges and other
eligible institutions of higher education
with funds to expand and improve their
ability to deliver education and career
training programs that can be completed
in two years or less and are suited for
workers who are eligible for training
under the Trade Adjustment Assistance
for Workers program and other adults in
need of new or upgraded skills. The
evaluation of Round 4 funded by the
Department of Labor will include an
outcomes study, an implementation
analysis, and a study of employer
relationships.
This Federal Register Notice provides
the opportunity to comment on a
proposed new information collection
activity for the TAACCCT Round 4
National Evaluation: (1) Collecting
updated participant contact
information, (2) conducting a follow-up
survey of participants enrolled in
programs in the Round 4 grantees
selected for the outcomes study, (3)
surveying staff in all colleges that are
part of a Round 4 grant, and (4)
interviewing staff from employers that
have partnered with Round 4 grantees.
The purposes of the outcomes study
are to capture participants’ training
experiences while in their programs,
receipt of job search assistance as they
near program completion, and
employment and wage outcomes upon
program exit and, for shorter programs,
several months thereafter. The employer
study will seek to understand how DOL
can encourage the workforce system to
build productive and sustainable
employer relationships through
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act implementation and its grants
programs.
II. Desired Focus of Comments:
Currently, the Department of Labor is
soliciting comments concerning the
above data collection for the national
evaluation of Round 4 of the TAACCCT
grants program. Comments are
requested to:
* 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
information collection on those who are
to respond, including 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.
III. Current Actions: At this time, the
Department of Labor is requesting
clearance for data collection for the
national evaluation of Round 4 of the
TAACCCT grants program via collection
of updated participant contact
information, survey data on participants
and colleges, and employer discussions.
Type of review: New information
collection request.

Affected Public: Participants enrolled
in selected TAACCCT grant programs;
