OMB notes that ETA has been collecting this information since 1998 without OMB approval. This is a serious violation of the PRA, and the seriousness is compounded by ETA's pattern of failing to submit grant-related collections for approval. OMB will continue to monitor this situation. This collection is being approved on the following conditions agreed upon during the 10/20/00 conference call. (1) ETA will replace references to JTPA with references to WIA throughout the forms and instructions (2) ETA will update the burden statement at the bottom of all forms with the correct number of burden hours (3) ETA will correct the instructions on the PCR to clarify high school graduation status and to ensure that grantees are allowing and reporting multiple responses to categories of race (4) ETA will correct the fonts used in the instructions to make them consistent, and (5) ETA will regularly update the quarterly report to reflect the correct quarter.
