The purpose of this collection is to
solicit applications for Performance Partnership Pilots (P3)
authority and start-up grant funds. The Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2014 (Public Law 113-76) (the Act), under Section 526 of
Division H, authorizes the Departments of Education, Labor, and
Health and Human Services, along with the Corporation for National
and Community Service and the Institute of Museum and Library
Services (collectively, the Agencies), to enter into a total of up
to ten Performance Partnership Agreements with States, localities,
or tribal governments receiving funds under multiple Federal
programs that give grantees additional flexibility in using these
funds to achieve significant improvement in outcomes for
disconnected youth. The information will be used in several ways.
First, it will be used by peer reviewers and the Department to
assess the extent to which an applicant meets the priorities,
requirements, and selection criteria of the P3 grant program
competition. The Department will generate a rank-order list of
applications based on the average scores awarded by peer reviewers.
The information provided in the top-ranked applications will then
be assessed by the Agencies to determine whether the waivers sought
by these applicants may be granted under the Act. Once the entities
with which agreements will be established are identified, the
information will be used to inform the development of these
performance agreements. In addition, the Agencies will use the
information obtained through this collection to prepare summaries
of the projects that will be carried out by entities awarded
start-up funds and P3 authority for dissemination to members of
Congress and the general public. Finally, the Agencies will use
this information to monitor the progress of each entity awarded P3
authority.
Pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.13, the Department is requesting emergency approval of its
information collection under the P3 program because (1) the P3
program authority was an unanticipated event, and (2) public harm
is likely to result if the participating agencies have not
published a notice inviting applications by late this summer.
This is a new collection,
therefore all burden is new. This results in an increase in burden
and responses of 65 responses and 5,200 burden hours.
