SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chief
Evaluation Office (CEO) in the U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL) is
undertaking the Pathway Home Grant
Program Evaluation. The overall aim of
the evaluation is to determine whether
the Pathway Home grant programs
improve employment and justice
outcomes and workforce readiness for
adults by expanding the availability of
services to individuals in the justice
system, both before and after release.
The Evaluation of the Pathway Home
Grant Program (Pathway Home
Evaluation) offers a unique opportunity
to build knowledge about the
implementation and effectiveness of
these programs. CEO contracted with
Mathematica and its subcontractor,
Social Policy Research Associates, to
conduct an implementation and impact
study. This information collection
request seeks Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) clearance for two new
data collection instruments. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 31, 2023 (88 FR 34895).
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 the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control 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 that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that

Agreement Application Package.’’ A
copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by

I. Background
The Secretary of Labor has delegated
to the BLS the authority to collect,
compile, and analyze statistical data on
work-related injuries and illnesses, as
authorized by the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91–596).
The Cooperative Agreement is designed
to allow the BLS to ensure conformance
with program objectives. The BLS has
full authority over the financial
operations of the statistical program.
The existing collection of information
allows Federal staff to negotiate the
Cooperative Agreement with the State
Grant Agencies (SGAs) and monitor
their financial and programmatic
performance and adherence to
administrative requirements imposed by
the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
(2 CFR 200) and other grant related
regulations. The information collected
also is used for planning and budgeting
at the Federal level and in meeting
Federal reporting requirements. The
BLS requires financial reporting that
will produce the information that is
needed to monitor the financial
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the OSHS
Cooperative Agreement application
package. The extension of this
collection of information will allow the
BLS to incorporate routine annual
updates to the Cooperative Agreement
and work statements which define SGA
deliverables and requirements and
allow the BLS to carry out its
responsibilities to monitor financial and
programmatic performance.
The Cooperative Agreement
application package being submitted for
approval is representative of the
package sent every year to state
agencies. The work statements included
in the Cooperative Agreement
application also are representative of
what is included in the whole OSHS
Cooperative Agreement package. The
final Cooperative Agreement, including
the work statements, will be submitted
separately to the Office of Management
and Budget for review of any minor
year-to-year information collection
burden changes they may contain.
