Standardized Participant Information Record Specifications








Persons are not required to respond to this collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB number. Public reporting burden for this collection of information for grantees is estimated at 2 hours twenty minutes per individual record and an additional ten minutes for each program participant to relay the information orally (total 2.5 hours per record) including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and reviewing the collection of information. Respondent’s obligation to reply is required to obtain or retain benefits (PL 105-220 Section 166). ETA is responsible for keeping these data private and will maintain the data in accordance with all applicable Federal laws, with particular emphasis upon compliance with the provisions of the Privacy and Freedom of Information Acts. The collection of information is for general program oversight and will be used for evaluation and performance assessment. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the U.S. Department of Labor, ETA, 200 Constitution Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20210 (Paperwork Reduction Act Project 1205-0422).



Indian and Native American Employment and Training Programs
STANDARDIZED PARTICIPANT INFORMATION RECORD SPECIFICATIONS

General Guidelines


This document is intended to facilitate the preparation and quarterly submission of an electronic file of records for all participants who receive services financially assisted by the WIA section 166 Comprehensive Services (CS) Program and who exit the program. At a minimum, grantees are required to submit a single electronic file of these individual records on all CS program participants who exit the program each quarter. Grantees have the option, but are not required, to submit updated individual records in subsequent post-program quarters to reflect outcome information that may be captured through supplemental/case management follow-up.


The primary purposes of these individual record specifications are to:


  1. Establish a standardized set of data elements, definitions, and specifications that can be used by the USDOL to match personally identifiable client records with state UI wage records and other administrative wage record databases in order to calculate a set of common performance measures. These performance measures include entry into employment, employment retention, and average earnings;

  2. Facilitate the collection and reporting of valid, consistent, and complete information on an individual in order to support the overall management, evaluation, and continuous improvement of the WIA section 166 CS Program; and

  3. Share program performance results with consumers, taxpayers, Congress and other stakeholderss with an interest in the WIA section 166 grant program.


Standardized data collection also makes performance information more useful for supporting budget development activities by the USDOL, the Administration, and the Congress, especially with regard to the impact of different levels of financial assistance on program services and outcomes. A common language is used to describe changes and improvements in programs over time, to identify effective strategies for meeting the workforce training needs of participants, and to record significant program accomplishments. Every effort has been made to establish common data definitions and formats with minimum burden to the grantees.


The Standardized Participant Information Record follows a comma-delimited format. Electronic file submissions must follow the coding guidelines for each data element shown in the attached instructions. For each data element, there is a definition or reporting instruction, coding values, and, where applicable, a data type/field size indicator. It is also important to note that grantees are required to report actual Social Security Numbers (SSNs) with their electronic file submission. The collection of an individual SSN is essential for matching client records to wage records maintained by the statea and other federal agencies in order to calculate federally required indicators of program performance.


Although the Department can require grantees to ask an individual for his/her SSN as part of the application/eligibility determination process for program services, grantees must disclose the reason(s) for the request of the SSN as well as the parties to whom disclosure may be made. SSN disclosure must be voluntarily provided by the individual and grantees cannot deny access to services if the SSN is not provided. In such instances, the grantee is instructed to use an alternate unique identifier and follow the appropriate instructions contained in this document.

ATTACHMENT I

ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE FOR COLLECTING

FEDERAL EQUAL OPPORTUNITY DATA



Beginning on the effective date of this reporting system, grantees are required to collect, maintain, and report equal opportunity information, including sex ( Item #6), age (Item #5), and disability (Item #7), for all individuals who apply for benefits or services financially assisted by the program. This requirement is in accordance with 29 CFR Part 37, “Implementation of the Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity Provisions of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.” For reference, sections 37.37(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d) of title 29 CFR mandate the following:


(b)(1) Each recipient must collect such data and maintain such records, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Director [Director of the Civil Rights Center, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, DOL], as the Director finds necessary to determine whether the recipient has complied or is complying with the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of WIA or this part. The system and format in which the records and data are kept must be designed to allow the Governor and CRC [Civil Rights Center, Department of Labor] to conduct statistical or other quantifiable data analyses to verify the recipient's compliance with section 188 of WIA and this part;


(b)(2) Such records must include, but are not limited to, records on applicants, registrants, eligible applicants/registrants, participants, terminees, employees, and applicants for employment. Each recipient must record the race/ethnicity, sex, age, and where known, disability status, of every applicant, registrant, eligible applicant/registrant, participant, terminee, applicant for employment, and employee;

(d) Where designation of individuals by race or ethnicity is required, the guidelines of the Office of Management and Budget must be used.


Other sources of authority for this requirement include 29 CFR 31.5(b), in DOL’s regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and 29 CFR 32.44(b), in DOL’s regulations implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The CRC Director has determined that collection of the equal opportunity information sought by this section of the reporting system is necessary in order to determine whether recipients have complied, or are complying, with the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of WIA and other applicable statutes.


Unless required for a determination of eligibility to participate in the program, the collection of equal opportunity information is to be self-identified and is voluntarily provided by the individual. Individuals should be made aware of the reason for the request of such information as well as the parties to whom disclosure may be made. Information collected from the individual will be used to monitor compliance of recipients with the equal opportunity and nondiscrimination requirements enforced by the CRC. It will also be used to assist the grantee and the Department in evaluating and improving efforts to conduct outreach to diverse population groups, including racial and ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities.


Since this data collection effort focuses on a specific racial or ethnic group (i.e., American Indian or Alaska Natives), the collection of ethnicity and racial categories is not required in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Statistical Directive 15 (as adopted October 30, 1997 at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fedreg/ombdir15.html).


For the purposes of the requirements in this section of the reporting system, disability means, with respect to an individual, a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such individual. 29 CFR 37.4 provides further clarification of the term “disability”; relevant portions of the definition have been included below for reference


(1)(i) The phrase physical or mental impairment means—

  1. Any physiological disorder or condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss affecting one or more of the following body systems: neurological, musculoskeletal, special sense organs, respiratory (including speech organs), cardiovascular, reproductive, digestive, genitourinary, hemic and lymphatic, skin, and endocrine;

  2. Any mental or psychological disorder such as mental retardation, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities.


(ii) The phrase physical or mental impairment includes, but is not limited to, such contagious and noncontagious diseases and conditions as orthopedic, visual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, mental retardation, emotional illness, specific learning disabilities, HIV disease (whether symptomatic or asymptomatic), tuberculosis, drug addiction, and alcoholism. The phrase ``physical or mental impairment'' does not include homosexuality or bisexuality.


(2) The phrase major life activities means functions such as caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working.


Information collected from the individual will be used to monitor compliance of recipients with the equal opportunity and nondiscrimination requirements enforced by the CRC. It will also be used to assist the grantee and the Department in evaluating and improving efforts to conduct outreach to diverse population groups, including racial and ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities.


The Department will use the data supplied by the individual to determine how many applicants are from different groups and how many of these applicants are determined eligible to receive services financially assisted by the program in question. The Department will then assess compliance with nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements, as well as the effectiveness of specific outreach efforts and means of communication in light of this information.
