We have approved
this information collection as proposed, but we have not approved
the requested extension of the requirements to the three following
programs: The Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers Programs, th Indian
and Native American Programs, and the Senior Community Service
Programs. DOL staff have indicated that the Department has not
devote resources for the inspection of information collected by
these three programs in the coming year. Without enforcement
actions, information collected for these three programs would lack
practical utility. In addition, the Department did not include
sample scheduling letters for these three programs, making this
package incomplete with regard to th proposal. -- Approval through
November 1993 is granted because recent developmen in the UI/ES and
JTPA data systems may make this report duplicative of that
information. Specifically, the proposed Participant Data System
would collect race/ethnicity, gender, age, and other information
for JTPA at the individual level, allowing sub-SDA aggregations;
the UI/ES system may be revised to record such data on a universe
basis, if Stat report that providing their records through a
universe data dump is le burdensome and more accurate than the
sampling scheme currently used.
