SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Office of Management and Budget (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. The YouthBuild Work Site Description and Housing Census (ETA– 9143) form collects information about the proposed work sites for low-income or homeless individuals or families where YouthBuild participants receive training and participate in construction skills activities. This form also collects information annually on the number of housing units that grantees build or renovate each year, which allows ETA to demonstrate the annual increase in affordable housing supported by YouthBuild. ETA is proposing changes to the Annual Housing Census portion of ETA–9143 form that reduces the burden collection. The accuracy, reliability, and comparability of program reports submitted by grantees using Federal funds are fundamental elements of good public administration and are necessary tools for maintaining and demonstrating system integrity. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (29 U.S.C. 3101) authorizes this information collection. 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 OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:52 Mar 19, 2024 Jkt 262001 order to help ensure appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB 1205–0464. Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages commenters not to include personally identifiable information, confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/ information in any comments. DOL is particularly interested in comments that: • 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 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).

ACTION: Request for Information (RFI). AGENCY: The Federal Government is committed to making it easier for the American people to engage with their Government, and to harnessing their knowledge, needs, and lived experiences to improve how Government works for them and with them. Federal laws and Executive directives require agencies to frequently khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:52 Mar 19, 2024 Jkt 262001 consult with the public to inform regulations, policies, program and service design, and other actions. However, these consultation efforts may be perceived as inaccessible, convoluted, or disconnected from the interests and priorities of impacted stakeholders. According to the 2023 Partnership for Public Service (PPS) survey on trust in government, only about 1 in 5 Americans believe that the Federal Government ‘‘listens to the public’’ or ‘‘is transparent.’’ The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in partnership with Federal agencies and the public, is working to develop a government-wide framework, common guidelines, and leading practices for public participation and community engagement (PPCE or ‘‘participation and engagement’’). This framework will enable agencies to more frequently, effectively, broadly, and meaningfully involve the public, including underserved communities, in government decision-making. Through this Request for Information (RFI), OMB seeks input on the experiences of individuals and organizations, including from underserved communities, with informing Federal Government decision-making and participating in engagement activities with government agencies; examples of leading practices in this space; and other recommendations on available methods, approaches, and tools that could assist in the effort to develop and implement a Federal framework for participation and engagement. OMB welcomes input from a wide and diverse array of stakeholders in the public, private, advocacy, not-for-profit, and philanthropic sectors, including State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments. OMB will review and consider the usability and applicability of responses to this RFI as OMB develops a Federal framework for PPCE and supports agencies in their work to ensure that their policies and actions are responsive to all Americans. DATES: Responses to this RFI should be received by May 17, 2024. To the extent practicable, OMB will also consider comments received after that date. ADDRESSES: In an effort to improve accessibility, OMB is offering multiple options to provide feedback. Responses can be submitted via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https:// www.regulations.gov/. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. Alternatively, responses may be submitted through a simple form at https://www.performance.gov/ participation/. Instructions for PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19885 submitting responses through that form can be found on the site, as well as options to register for events that OMB will host to gather live input and feedback from the public. Participation in these events is not required in order to respond to this RFI. Instructions for Submission: Written comments should not exceed 10 pages. Attachments or linked resources or documents are not included in the 10page limit. Please use concise, plain language in narrative or bullet format. OMB has provided some key questions on which public insights would be most valuable (see Supplementary Information, Part III). You may respond to some or all of these questions, and additional feedback beyond these questions is also welcome. Any links you provide to online materials or presentations must be publicly accessible. Each response should include: • The name of the individual(s) and/ or organization(s) responding; • RFI question(s), topic(s), and/or policy suggestions that your submission and materials address; • A brief description of the responding individual(s) and/or organization(s)’s mission and/or areas of experience or expertise; and • A contact for questions or other follow-up on your response. Please feel free to share this RFI with colleagues or others for feedback, including those who may be familiar with effective outreach to underserved communities.
