Abstract: This request for emergency ICR approval both modifies the frequency of reporting and requests the collection of an additional data element contained in the following two performance-related data instruments: (1)OMB Control Number 1205-0420—Workforce Investment Act (WIA), Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Activities Programs. This control number includes the following ETA forms: (A) Workforce Investment Act Annual Report—ETA form 9091, (B) Workforce Investment Act Quarterly Report—ETA Form 9090, and (C) Workforce Investment Act Standardized Record Data—WIASRD (2) OMB Control Number 1205-0240—Wagner-Peyser and Veterans’ Employment and Training Services (VETS) Programs. This control number includes the following ETA forms: (A) ETA 9002 Report and (B) VETS 200 Report.

Emergency Justfication: The supplemental reports and quarterly collection of WIA individual records allows ETA to overcome the limitations imposed by current outcome based performance reporting requirements. This collection comprises a participant and performance reporting strategy that will provide a more robust, “real time” view of the impact of the Recovery Act funds, providing greater information on levels of program participation, and provide more information about the characteristics of the participants served, and the types of services provided. The approval of this request is necessary to allow ETA to report performance accountability information immediately on the effective use of Recovery Act funds already received by state workforce agencies. With these monthly reports more detailed information on individuals will be available while they are participating in the programs. There is significant value added by obtaining quarterly individual records from state workforce agencies. First, quarterly submissions provide more timely information to respond to the oversight needs of Governors, Congress and other Federal/state stakeholders and the general public. Second, ETA will benefit from more timely analysis and states will have access to more regular updates on nationwide participation information as well as employment and training trends.

Short Statement: The change is due to the fact that this is a new collection of information. To record the impact of the Recovery Act resources, more current information on participants and the services received is essential. Therefore, to obtain a more robust look at participants and services provided with the additional Recovery Act resources, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) proposes supplemental reports. Under these new supplemental reports, states are required to submit information that states already collect; however, the supplemental reports are required to be submitted monthly. In addition to these aggregate monthly reports, ETA proposes that states submit the WIA individual records (WIASRD) on all participants in the WIA title 1B programs, and in National Emergency Grants, on a quarterly basis. There is significant value added by obtaining quarterly individual records from state workforce agencies. First, quarterly submissions provide more timely information to respond to the oversight needs of Governors, Congress and other Federal/state stakeholders and the general public. Second, ETA will benefit from more timely analysis and states will have access to more regular updates on nationwide participation information as well as employment and training trends.
