ACTION:
Notice.
This notice announces a change in
benefit period eligibility under the EB
Program for Alaska.
The following change has occurred
since the publication of the last notice
regarding the State’s EB status:
• Based on data released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics on October
20, 2017, Alaska’s 3-month average
seasonally adjusted total unemployment
rate was 7.1 percent which exceeds 110
percent of the corresponding rate in the
second preceding year. This causes
Alaska to be triggered ‘‘on’’ to an EB
period beginning November 5, 2017.
The State will remain in an EB period
for a minimum of 13 weeks.
Information for Claimants
The duration of benefits payable in
the EB Program, and the terms and
conditions on which they are payable,
are governed by the Federal-State
Extended Unemployment Compensation
Act of 1970, as amended, and the
operating instructions issued to the
states by the U.S. Department of Labor.
In the case of a state beginning an EB
period, the State Workforce Agency will
furnish a written notice of potential
entitlement to each individual who has
exhausted all rights to regular benefits
and is potentially eligible for EB (20
CFR 615.13 (c) (1)).
Persons who believe they may be
entitled to EB, or who wish to inquire
about their rights under the program,
should contact their State Workforce
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). This program helps to ensure
that 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 on respondents
is properly assessed.
Currently, DOL is soliciting comments
concerning the collection of follow-up
survey data about the National Guard
Youth ChalleNGe and Job ChalleNGe
Program. A copy of the proposed
Information Collection Request (ICR)
can be obtained by contacting the office
listed in the addressee section of this
notice.
SUMMARY:
Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addressee’s section below on or before
January 2, 2018.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by either one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The National Guard
Youth ChalleNGe program has
demonstrated positive, sustained
impacts on the educational attainment
and labor market outcomes of youth
who are not in school or the labor force.
To build on this success, in early 2015
the Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) issued $12
million in grants 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 a five-month
residential occupational training
component, known as Job ChalleNGe.
The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe
Job ChalleNGe Evaluation includes an
outcome and an implementation study.
The evaluation requires collection of
three primary types of data: (1)
Background and contact information, (2)
program implementation details, and (3)
follow-up youth outcomes. The Chief
Evaluation Office (CEO) has already
received OMB approval to collect the
first two types of data (control number
1291–0008). The planned outcomes data
collection included in this ICR will
answer three main research questions:
(1) How did youth experience the postresidential phase of the program?, (2)
What were the employment, education,
and criminal justice outcomes of Job
ChalleNGe participants?, and (3) What
expectations do youth have for the
future?
This Federal Register Notice provides
the opportunity to comment on two
proposed data collection instruments for
follow-up youth outcomes study:
* Text survey. Job ChalleNGe
participants who are enrolled in the
program between approximately July
2017 and July 2018 and give consent to
participate in the evaluation (and whose
parents/guardians have done so, when
necessary) and permission to contact
them via text message will be asked to
complete a brief survey administered by
text messaging on a monthly basis for 8
months, during months 8 through 15
after the youth began Job ChalleNGe.
The brief survey is designed to provide
snapshots of the progression over time
that the respondents make in their
employment, earnings, and education.
For each round of monthly text message
data collection, each participant will be
asked to answer three to five questions.
It is expected to take the participants an
