Terms of Clearance: Approved under the follwing conditions to which DOL has agreed: -- DOL will continue its examination of the most effective mechanism t assess program outcomes in TAA, including the use of UI wagerecords and/or a comprehensive study of the program. Key issues to address in this examination are the relevance of training to the job acquired after program exit, the cost of training, and employment experiences (including experiences of a comparison group under a comprehensive study).The activity shall also reflect any legislative changes to TAA. -- DOL shall assess the validity and usefulness of the data collected through the 563 and 9027 forms, through program reviews over the next two years. This assessment shall include the reliability of data on training waivers granted under TAA, and whether quarterly reporting of waivers remains necessary. DOL's goal will be to seek ways of maximizing the usefulness of the data collected for program management and policy purposes. The next clearance request shall report on this assessment. -- Both of the preceding activities shall include appropriate consultation with the respondent population. With respect to the firs activity, tracking program outcomes has become especially important in light of the recent Inspector General Audit of the TAA program, which found that program outcomes have not met reemployment or training goal implied by the underlying statute.
