Approved on the
condition that DOL conduct at least one additional community survey
involving the YFC site and comparison sites, to allow for an
assessment of program impacts. Absent this study, ETA will not be
able to meet the congressional mandate to evaluate the impact of
the program, and this collection will lack practical utility; thus,
approval is conditional on adding the community follow-up. DOL may
pare back the participant follow-up questionnaire to generate
additional funds if needed. DOL shall submit the Community study as
an addendum to this clearance package for review prior to
implementation, along with an inventory correction worksheet to
adjust the burden accordingly. We note that the plan to conduct the
Community Impact study was approved last year as part of the
baseline collection for this effort. We also note that the cost
burdens for this collection are zero; DOL had counted costs to the
government and monetized value of respondent time as cost burdens,
which are intended to represent out-of-pocket costs. -- Approval
also based on DOL's 3/12/96 memorandum to OMB.

The information collected in this
questionnaire is necessary for a congressionally required
evaluation of the YFC program. This submission, which is the second

follow-up questionnaire, which obtains data from participants 6
months after their initial contact with the YFC program. The data
provide information about participants' program experience and
outcomes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
