ETA utilizes the data on ETA 9130 to
assess the effectiveness of ETA programs and to monitor and analyze
the financial activity of its grantees. Pre-designed software is
provided to the grantees to reflect the requirements of ETA Form
9130 so that the required data is reported directly into the
Enterprise Information Management System (EIMS) by the grant
recipients. This data collection format allows ETA to evaluate
program effectiveness and to monitor and analyze financial
activity, while complying with OMB efforts to streamline Federal
financial reporting. The focus of all ETA reporting has been to
provide ease and simplicity for the grantees. The specific
instruction relating to the required data element is visible at
each data entry point. Electronic financial reporting has
significantly increased the timeliness of financial
reporting.

Implementation of the Uniform
Guidance and the passage of WIOA impose new statutory requirements
that impact financial reporting. Both the addition of new indirect
cost reporting line items (to further align form ETA-9130 with the
SF-425) and the additional breakouts to the obligations and
expenditures lines (to comply with WIOA) increase the timeframe
required by recipients to complete 9130 reports by 15 minutes per
response for a total of 45 minutes. This results in a burden
increase due to new statutory requirements of 5,000 hours (20,000
responses x 15 min. = 5,000 hours). In addition, the agency has
better information on the number of reports received. The estimated
number of respondents increased from 848 to 1,000. Prior estimates
also counted all responses received in a quarter as a single
response. The agency has reconsidered this approach and now counts
each quarterly report for each unique grant as a different
response. Combined, this results in a nondiscretionary burden
increase of 16,608 responses and 8,304 hours.
