Abstract: This information collection addresses new operation requirements in compliance with the revised reporting requirements in sections 2181-2183 of PL 112-96, which permanently changes existing SEA programs and provides for grants to help states expand activities for current or prospective programs. These provisions mean that ETA must provide operational guidance, administrative requirements and reporting and financing framework for states to comply with these sections.

Emergency Justfication: Since PL 112-96 compels changes in existing state SEA programs, and allows states to apply for grants as soon as ETA transmits guidance, ETA must secure rapid approval to implement guidance for states. Emergency clearance will allow ETA to act on grant proposals and to provide guidance to help states comply with these new requirements. Delaying guidance to states will adversely impact state implementation of needed changes for current SEA programs and uptake of grant provisions in the act.
