including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Evaluate whether and if so how the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected can be
enhanced; 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.
Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
New collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Leadership Engagement Survey (LES).
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
Online survey.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: The affected public is Drug
Enforcement Administration employees
and Task Force Officers. The LES is an
initiative mandated by the Acting
Administrator, DEA, to assess and
improve competencies and proficiency
of leadership across the DEA.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that
approximately 5000 respondents will
complete the survey within
approximately 45 minutes.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 3750
hours. It is estimated that respondents
will take 45 minutes to complete the
survey. In order to calculate the public
burden for the survey, 45 minutes was
multiplied by 5000 and divided by 60
(the number of minutes in an hour)
which equals 3750 total annual burden
hours.

address: (1) The evaluation and
improvement of the nationwide

SUMMARY:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information

before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure requested 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 can be properly
assessed.
Job Corps is the nation’s largest
residential, educational, and career
technical training program for young
Americans. The Economic Opportunity
Act established Job Corps in 1964 and
it currently operates under the authority
of the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014. For
over 51 years, Job Corps has helped
prepare nearly 3 million at-risk young
people between the ages of 16 and 24 for
success in our nation’s workforce. With
126 centers in 50 states, Puerto Rico,
and the District of Columbia, Job Corps
assists students across the nation in
attaining academic credentials,
including High School Diplomas (HSD)
and/or High School Equivalency (HSD),
and career technical training
credentials, including industryrecognized certifications, state
licensures, and pre-apprenticeship
credentials.
Job Corps is a national program
administered by the U.S. Department of
Labor (DOL) through the Office of Job
Corps and six Regional Offices. DOL
awards and administers contracts for the
recruiting and screening of new
students, center operations, and the
placement and transitional support of
graduates and former enrollees. Large
and small corporations and nonprofit
organizations manage and operate 99
Job Corps centers under contractual
agreements with DOL. These contract
Center Operators are selected through a
competitive procurement process that
evaluates potential operators’ technical
expertise, proposed costs, past
performance, and other factors, in
accordance with the Competition in
Contracting Act and the Federal
Acquisition Regulations. The remaining
27 Job Corps centers, called Civilian
Conservation Centers, are operated by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Forest Service, via an interagency
agreement. The DOL has a direct role in
the operation of Job Corps, and does not
serve as a pass-through agency for this
program.
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
