Short Statement: Changes to WIOA ETP Performance Report (Definitions-Only) (ETA-9171), WIOA Annual Statewide Performance Report (ETA-9169), and WIOA Joint PIRL (ETA-9170). In this ICR, the Departments are adding data elements related to training program information to the ETP Performance Report. This additional information is necessary to facilitate the provision of more useful information to assist participants in choosing employment and training activities, and in choosing ETPs. Under WIOA section 185(a)(2), WIOA title I fund recipients must submit such records and reports “as the Secretary of Labor may require regarding the performance of programs and activities carried out under [WIOA title I].” Definitions and instructions with respect to these new data elements can be found in the revised ETA-9171. Also, a few non-substantive adjustments have been made to the WIOA Annual Statewide Performance Report and Local Area Performance Report Template specifications (ETA-9169), and to the WIOA Joint PIRL (ETA-9170). Adjustments such as clarifications to specifications, data elements, and aligning both of the forms with published guidance and policy were needed. The Reginfo.gov data base includes both a final version of the instruments as well as supplemental document that has a tab (Revision History) identifying each of the changes. Burden hours have not changed as a result of this revision request. Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative The Departments are adding a new information collection requirement related to the Annual Statewide Performance Report to this ICR. As part of this new requirement, States must submit separately an Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative, which must be limited to 25 pages. This Narrative is needed to enable the Departments to evaluate, in both a quantitative and qualitative way, the status and progress of workforce development program performance. Under WIOA section 185(a)(2), WIOA title I fund recipients must submit such records and reports “as the Secretary of Labor may require regarding the performance of programs and activities carried out under [WIOA title I].”
