Abstract: The Chief Evaluation Office of the U.S. Department of Labor has contracted with Abt Associates and its partners—the Urban Institute, Capital Research Corporation, and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies —to conduct a five-year evaluation to develop strategies to support the evidence requirements for the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment program that were enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-123). This data collection activity is a reinstatement of a previously approved and completed data collection effort. The survey has been administered three times in prior years to state workforce agencies and this will be the fourth wave of the survey. Results from earlier waves documented different changes states were undertaking, particularly during different phases of COVID. Because all other data collection activities have been completed, the burden has decreased to reflect the change.

Short Statement: There is a burden reduction of 73 hours (86 to 13) due to a decrease in respondents and removal of semi-structured interviews. Responses therefore also decreased from 78 to 17 to a decrease in respondents and removal of semi-structured interviews. This package requests clearance for one data collection activity as part of the RESEA implementation study: a web-based survey of all state workforce agencies. This data collection activity is a reinstatement with change of a previously approved and completed data collection effort (OMB Control Number: 1290-0029), which was approved for a web-based survey and semi-structure interviews. Semi-structure interviews are removed as data collections have been completed.
