Abstract: Data validation requires states and grantees to ascertain the validity of report and participant record data submitted to the Employment and Training Administration and to submit reports to the Agency on data accuracy. The following programs are subject to the validation requirement: Workforce Investment Act Title IB, Labor Exchange, Trade Adjustment Assistance, Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers, Native American Employment and Training, and Senior Community service Employment Program (SCSC). The SCSC data validation handbook is still in construction and will be available to users by December 2007, before implementation is required.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in burden hours results from the new inclusion of Indian and Native Americans and Senior Community Service Employment Program grantees into the Data Validation Program. The reduction in hours captured as an adjustment results from the re-estimation of time for previously included programs by removing the level-of-effort associated with start-up burden. The previously reported cost burden has been eliminated because it duplicated costs captured in the form of burden hours.
