Abstract: The Department of Labor (DOL) contracted with Abt Associates (in partnership with the Urban Institute) to conduct an evaluation of Round 4 of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program and is seeking approval from OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act for data collection instruments associated with the evaluation. The evaluation will use a multi-pronged approach that includes an impact study of selected grantees and an implementation analysis. This package requests clearance for 1) collecting baseline data to support the impact study of up to five selected Round 4 grantees and 2) semi-structured fieldwork in the form of site visits to up to nine Round 4 grantees as part of the implementation analysis.
