Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request; Job Corps Health Questionnaire
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is requesting public comments on a proposed extension of its authority to collect information through the Job Corps Health Questionnaire. This questionnaire is used to assess the health status of applicants and participants in the Job Corps program, which provides career training and education to young people aged 16 to 24. The comment request is part of the Department's ongoing efforts to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), which requires federal agencies to minimize the paperwork burden on the public while ensuring that collected information serves a valid purpose. The public is invited to evaluate whether the proposed collection is necessary, whether the data has practical utility, and whether the burden estimates are accurate. This is a routine procedural notice rather than a new regulation. It does not introduce new requirements but seeks to renew the existing authorization to continue using the health questionnaire as part of the Job Corps enrollment and participation process.
