ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The Department of Labor
(Department), as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) [44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to
ensure that required 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.
The Department notes that a Federal
agency cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it is
approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under the PRA, and
displays a currently valid OMB control
number, and the public is not required
to respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. Also, notwithstanding
any other provisions of law, no person
shall be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
if the collection of information does not
display a currently valid OMB control
number (see 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6). This information collection
request (ICR) consists of three follow-up
surveys for youth who were randomly
assigned to either a treatment group or
control group. The surveys will be
fielded 12-, 30- and 48-months after
random assignment into the study
groups. This package requests clearance
for these follow-up surveys and related
respondent materials.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
July 16, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Impact Evaluation of the
YouthBuild program is a 7-year
experimental design impact evaluation
funded by the ETA. This information
collection covers the follow-up surveys
administered to study participants at
12-, 30- and 48-months after random
assignment. YouthBuild is a youth and
community development program that
addresses several core issues facing lowincome communities: Available
housing, youth education, employment
and criminal behavior. The program
primarily serves high school dropouts
and focuses on helping them attain a
high school diploma or general

educational development, or GED, and
teaching them construction skills geared
toward career placement. The
evaluation will measure core program
outcomes including educational
attainment, postsecondary planning,
employment, earnings, delinquency and
involvement with the criminal justice
system and social and emotional
development. The evaluation represents
an important opportunity for the
Department to add to the growing body
of knowledge about the impacts of
‘‘second chance’’ programs for youth
who have dropped out of high school.
Compared to peers who remain in
school, high school dropouts are more
likely to be disconnected from school
and work, incarcerated, unmarried, and
have children outside of marriage.
The evaluation of the YouthBuild
program will address the following
research questions:
• Operation: How is YouthBuild
designed in each participating site?
What are the key implementation
practices that affect how the program
operates? How does the local context
affect program implementation and the
services available to members of the
control group?
• Participation: What are the
characteristics of youth who enroll in
the study? How are these characteristics
shaped by YouthBuild recruitment and
screening practices?
• Impacts: What are YouthBuild’s
impacts on educational attainment,
planning, and aspirations? What are
YouthBuild’s impacts on employment,
earnings, and job characteristics? What
are YouthBuild’s impacts on crime and
delinquency? What are the program’s
impacts on social-emotional
development, identity development,
and self-regulation?
• Costs: How does the net cost per
participant compare with the impacts
the program generates?
The evaluation study started in June
2010 and is scheduled to continue until
July 2017. MDRC, the prime contractor,
is working with Mathematica Policy
Research and Social Policy Research
Associates to design and implement the
evaluation. The study includes a
baseline information collection, a Webbased questionnaire and a Web-based
survey of YouthBuild grantees, sitespecific qualitative and cost data, and
three mixed-mode (Web and computerassisted telephone interviewing) surveys
of youth that will take place 12-, 30- and
48 months after random assignment.
The target population for the study is
out-of-school youth aged 16–24, who are
from low-income families, in foster care,
offenders, migrants, disabled, or are
children of incarcerated parents. Of the

Jkt 226001

universe of YouthBuild programs, the
study team will recruit 83 sites (60
Department-funded sites and 23 sites
that did not receive Fiscal Year 2011
funding from the Department but did
receive funding from the Corporation for
National and Community Service
[CNCS], referred to hereafter as CNCSfunded programs) and will seek to
enroll 3,465 eligible participants into
the study. Study participants will be
randomly assigned to either the
treatment group, which will be eligible
for YouthBuild services, or to the
control group which will not be eligible.
Study participants will be followed for
4 years after random assignment.
Data for the study will be collected
from YouthBuild grantees and from
study participants through the following
methods:
(1) Grantee Questionnaire and Site
Visits. A grantee survey will provide
information about the grantee sites that
run individual YouthBuild programs.
The grantee survey is mandatory and
will be administered after programs are
fully operational. It will request detailed
information about the services each
program offers, including the frequency
and location of particular services, as
well as more in-depth information about
the staff and participants. The
information from the grantee survey will
be used to support the implementation
analysis and will assess how outcomes
may vary across YouthBuild program
models. As part of the implementation
analysis, the evaluation team will
conduct site visits to all 83 sites. These
visits will include classroom
observations to assess the quality of
instruction, youth focus groups, and
semi-structured in-depth interviews
with program staff and collect cost data
to ascertain the cost of the program.
(2) Baseline Data Forms Completed by
Sample Group Members. Prior to
random assignment in the sites selected
for this component of the study, all
eligible youth participants will
complete baseline data forms, which
will include an Informed Consent Form,
a Baseline Information Form, and a
Contact Information Form. Taken
together, these will provide participants
with information about the study while
collecting information for both future
subgroup analysis and locating study
participants during future study followups.
(3) Three Follow-up Surveys of
Sample Group Members. Members of
both the treatment and control groups
will complete follow-up surveys at
12-, 30-, and 48-months following
random assignment. These surveys will
request information about the services
that participants have received through

YouthBuild and other community
service providers, as well as information
about their educational attainment,
postsecondary planning and
engagement, employment, earnings,
delinquency and involvement with the
criminal justice system, and social and
emotional development.
At this time, clearance is requested for
the youth follow-up surveys.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Department is soliciting
comments concerning the youth followup survey data collection for the Impact
Evaluation of the YouthBuild Program.
Comments are requested to:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
information collection on those who are
to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
