Approval through
2/93 will place the WAPR on the same clearance time frame as the
JASR, both of which may be replaced by the DOL Participan Data
System (DOL had requested approval of the WAPR through 12/92); OM
still encourages DOL to submit the Participant Data System request
for clearance as soon as possible. In addition, OMB approves the
existing WAPR without change, under the following conditions: --
DOL's movement toward use of UI wage record data to replace at leas
some of these reporting requirements shall be accelerated, from the
current schedule of State-level implementation in program year
1994. T next submission of the WAPR shall report on the status of
this effort. -- Given substantial interest in assessing the number
of people who receive needs-related payments, the next submission
shall add this dat element (the current WAPR collects only the
dollar amount). -- DOL shall increase the acceptable response rate
for the follow-up survey from 70 to 80 percent, and shall institute
a sanction in the Title III program for SSAs that do not achieve
this level. -- The next submission shall analyze the benefits and
costs of collecting data on the number of recipients who enter
90-day inactive status, since employment is now measured at
follow-up and not termination. DOL shall use the analysis either to
recommend including a data element for this information, or to
explain why a new item is n necessary.
