Forms ETA 652, 655 and 682 are used to
obtain information for screening and enrollment purposes to
determine eligibility for the Job Corp program in accordance with
the requirements of the Workforce Investment Act. They concern
questions of economic criteria and past behavior problems as well
as questions needed to certify an applicant's arrangements for care
of a dependent child(ren) while the applicant is in Job
Corps.
The marginal increase in time
burden from 16,158 hours to the 18,424 hours currently requested is
due to the fact that ETA assigned one minute to the time it takes
to complete Form ETA-652 (rather than the half minute, or thirty
seconds, approved previously in ROCIS). Thus the total for the
three forms, as an annualized estimate, is now 12 minutes instead
of 11 minutes and 30 seconds.
