These information collections are
necessary for the Department to implement its Job Placement and
Training Program, which provides assistance to adult Indians who
reside on or near Indian reservations, or in Alaska, in obtaining
meaningful and satisfactory employment (and training necessary to
acquire gainful employment). To ensure that only eligible persons
receive training under this program, DOI must collect certain
information from applicants. DOI collects information on an
application form. DOI also receives progress reports from program
participants to monitor compliance with the program and receives
information from potential employers on job opportunities for
participants.
As part of the last submission,
a database entry error occurred that quadrupled the number of
responses and burden hours for all information collections, when
only the information collection for "progress reports" should have
been quadrupled to reflect quarterly submissions. The
justification, 60-day notice, and 30-day notice for the last
approval reflected the current number of responses and burden
hours. This renewal adjusts the ROCIS entries for responses and
burden hours to reflect these figures through a change due to
adjustment in agency estimate. This request for renewal also
removes the separate IC for "On-the-job (OJT) Training" because
that information collection is now incorporated in "Application for
Job Placement" to reduce redundancy - OJT approval requests are
made as part of the application.
