Please note that written comments received in response to this notice will be considered public records. Title of Collection: Subminimum Wage to Competitive Integrated Employment (SWTCIE) Program Evaluation. OMB Control Number: 1820–NEW. Type of Review: New ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,866. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,224. Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education’s Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) requests clearance for new data collection activities to support the evaluation of the Disability Innovation Fund (DIF) Subminimum Wage to Competitive Integrated Employment (SWTCIE) program. The aim of this project is to increase transitions to competitive integrated employment (CIE) among people working in subminimum wage employment (SWE)—or considering doing so—through innovative activities to build systemwide alternatives to subminimum wage employment. Advocacy, policy and practice have evolved in recent decades toward a shift to CIE, as reflected in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and most recently in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, which provides funding for DIF. This request covers primary data collection activities, including survey data, administrative data, site visits, and focus groups. In September 2022, the RSA awarded five-year grants for the 84.421D DIF. The grants provide 14 state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies with funding to implement SWTCIE Innovative Model Demonstration projects to decrease SWE and increase CIE among people with disabilities currently employed in or contemplating SWE. To achieve this purpose, the projects will create innovative models for dissemination and replication to (1) identify strategies for addressing barriers associated with accessing CIE, (2) provide integrated services that PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 82597 support CIE, (3) support integration into the community through CIE, (4) identify and coordinate wraparound services for project participants who obtain CIE, (5) develop and disseminate evidencebased practices, and (6) provide entities holding section 14(c) certificates with readily accessible transformative business models for adoption. The intervention models vary across the SWTCIE projects, but all of them will work with employers that hold 14(c) certificates, other employers, service providers, and additional community partners to empower transition-age youth and working-age adults with disabilities to pursue CIE. In addition, each project will use part of its funds for an independent evaluator to conduct a project-specific evaluation of its activities and outcomes. This data collection for the RSA DIF is critical as the evaluation is intended to make information more actionable for practitioners and policymakers and ensure the DIF program outcomes are duplicatable for VR agencies and partners. The evaluation will (1) describe the implementation and costs of the federally-funded program and strategies; (2) improve the identification of DIF program models and strategies related to the state VR programs, intended to improve outcomes for individuals with disabilities in CIE, including but not limited to accommodations and services for individuals with disabilities, utilization of technology, and supports; (3) interconnect the projects to evaluate the effectiveness of particular strategies in the context of how commonly that strategy is used across the projects; (4) analyze trends in CIE outcomes and potential impacts of federal grants; and (5) examine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of the program and strategies that support CIE and reduce SWE.

[FR Doc. 2024–23507 Filed 10–10–24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6450–01–P Energy Information Administration Agency Information Collection Proposed New Survey U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). AGENCY: ACTION: Notice. EIA submitted an information collection request for clearance of the Residential Utility Disconnections Survey as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The collection requests a three-year clearance of a new data collection survey—Form EIA–112. Form EIA–112 is an annual survey that collects information on the number of monthly natural gas and electric service final notices, disconnections, and reconnections for bill non-payment across residential customers. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Comments on this information collection must be received no later than November 12, 2024. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/ do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or by using the search function. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth Pick, EIA Clearance Officer, at (202) 586–5562. The form and instructions are available at https:// www.eia.gov/survey/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection request contains: (1) OMB No.: New; (2) Information Collection Request Title: Residential Utility Disconnections Survey; (3) Type of Request: New; (4) Purpose: Form EIA–112 is an annual form that will collect 12 months of data from electric and natural gas providers about final termination notices sent to residential customers due to bill nonpayment, service disconnections of residential customers due to bill nonpayment, and service reconnections of residential customers who were disconnected due to bill nonpayment. No national data is currently collected on this information. Some States collect some of the data described above, but the data are inconsistent, and publication is not uniform. Form EIA– 112 aims to better inform State and Federal policymakers on utility disconnections by providing reliable data that can help inform appropriate levels of budgetary support for various assistance programs across the United States. The results of the survey will be published on the EIA website at the aggregated national and State level, as well as at the utility level for respondents. EIA will conduct periodic censuses of all natural gas and electric utilities above a certain size threshold. These censuses will cover respondents that complete Form EIA–176 and Form EIA– 861, excluding the small electric utilities receiving Form EIA–861S. To reduce the respondent burden of this proposed data collection, while also considering data quality, for the years in between censuses, EIA will use cut-off samples from Form EIA–857 and Form EIA–861M, based on utility size and State coverage. This strategy will allow EIA to reduce respondent burden on smaller utilities, while also producing population estimates at the State level DATES: E:\FR\FM\11OCN1.SGM 11OCN1
