The Department of Labor, 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) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. 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 can be properly assessed. Currently, the Office of Job Corps is soliciting comments concerning Health Questionnaire, Form ETA 6-53. The following are the major changes in the revised ETA 6-53 Form and Instructions: Expanded PurposeThe purpose of this form has been expanded to include questions to determine whether an otherwise-eligible applicant offered enrollment may pose a direct threat to self or others. Added information to InstructionsTo comply with regulatory requirements, language has been added to the instructions to ensure that applicants are provided with appropriate information before medical or disability. (Instructions) Added direct threat questionsTo determine whether an otherwise- eligible applicant offered enrollment may pose a direct threat to self or others. The purpose of these questions is to prevent illness, injury, or death on centers. (Question 8 l-w) Added new conditionsTo better determine the health and accommodation/ modification needs of the applicant who has been offered enrollment, several new conditions have been added. (Question 9) Added authorization to provide basic oral careThis will eliminate the need for the student to sign a separate authorization to receive basic oral care and provides a description of what is included in basic oral care. (Authorization Section) Added requirement for AC to provide informationTo ensure all applicants are informed of the health care to be provided by Job Corps, the AC is now required to provide each applicant a copy of the types of care that are considered ``basic routine health care'' from the Job Corps Policy and Requirements Handbook (currently Exhibit 6-4) before the ETA 6-53 is signed.
