Description of Activities:
Trade Adjustment Assistance Center
Data Collection Period: There is a two-year lag between the date the assistance was provided and the date the results are
reported because the majority of the benefits resulting from TAAC assistance will not be immediately realized. TAACs
must report on assistance provided during their investment award period two years prior to the current federal fiscal year.
(Example: In FY 2017, a TAAC receiving an investment award on January 1, 2015, the recipient must report on assistance
provided to clients from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.)
