Abstract: The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act requires the Department to submit an annual report to Congress that includes: (1) an identification of activities assisted under section 118 during the prior year; (2) a description of the specific products and services assisted under section 118 that were delivered in the prior program year; and (3) an assessment of the extent to which States have effectively coordinated activities assisted under this section with activities authorized under section 15 of the Wagner-Peyser Act. The law also requires that the National ACRN entity disseminate information that promotes the replication of high quality practices as performed by State ACRN entities. This collection solicits information from grantees necessary to fulfill this requirement, and support the Department's monitoring and technical assistance activities.
