SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks PRA authority for the Evaluation

American Apprenticeship Initiative
(AAI) awarded funds to multiple
grantees to support the expansion of
quality and innovative apprenticeship
training programs, and the Department
of Labor is sponsoring an evaluation of
this initiative. The AAI is a significant
DOL investment to expand

is generally not required to respond to
an information collection, unless the

Number. In addition, notwithstanding
any other provisions of law, no person
shall generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information if the collection of
information does not display a valid
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a)
and 1320.6. For additional information,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on August 27, 2018 (83

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Chief Evaluation

(DOL), was approved under OMB
number 1290–0012 for a data collection
activity as part of the Cascades Job

Evaluation Pilot Evaluation. The goal of
the evaluation is to determine the
effectiveness of the Pilot program in
improving employment and educational
outcomes for youth ages 21 and under.
The impact study randomly assigns
individuals to receive program services
or to a group that cannot access these
services but who can participate in
other similar programs. The impact
study will compare the employment and
educational outcomes of the groups to
determine the effectiveness of the pilot
program. The evaluation also includes
an implementation study that will
describe the services participants
receive through the pilot program as
well as provide operational lessons.
This Federal Register Notice provides
the opportunity to comment on two
proposed changes to information
collection activities for the Cascades Job
Corps College and Career Academy
Evaluation Pilot Evaluation:
1. Extension of data collection
through the follow-up tracking form;
and
ADDRESSES:
2. A modest increase in burden for the
implementation site visits.

collection and additional burden for the
implementation site visits will provide
vital data for the evaluation.

soliciting comments concerning the
above data collection for the Cascades
Job Corps College and Career Academy
Evaluation Pilot Evaluation. DOL is

methodology and assumptions;
Æ enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

collection of information on those who

other forms of information technology—

III. Current Actions: At this time, the

clearance for extending ongoing tracking
