Description: Each state administering
a grant under the WIA adult, dislocated
worker, and youth programs is required
to submit quarterly (ETA 9090) and
annual (ETA 9091) reports containing
information related to levels of
participation and performance
outcomes. In addition, each state
submits a file of individual records on
all participants who exit the programs,
formally called the Workforce
Investment Act Title I–B Standardized
Record Data (WIASRD). These
individual records are submitted once
each year for the July-to-June program
period. The current WIA Management
Information and Reporting System
expires in August 2005.
This is a request to revise the current
WIA program reporting requirements to
include data elements necessary for
assessing state progress against common
measures of performance beginning July
1, 2005. In 2002, under the President’s
Management Agenda, OMB and other
Federal agencies developed a set of
common performance measures to be
applied to certain Federally-funded
employment and training programs with
similar strategic goals. Although the
common measures are an integral part of
ETA’s performance accountability
system, these measures provide only
part of the information necessary to
effectively oversee the workforce
investment system. ETA will continue
to collect from states and grantees data
on program activities, participants, and
outcomes that are necessary for program
management and to convey full and
accurate information on the
performance of workforce programs to
policymakers and stakeholders.
The value of implementing common
measures is the ability to describe in a
similar manner the core purposes of the
workforce system—how many people
found jobs; did people stay employed;
and did earnings increase. Multiple sets
of performance measures have burdened
states and grantees as they are required
to report performance outcomes based
on varying definitions and
methodologies. By minimizing the

different reporting and performance
requirements, common performance
measures can facilitate the integration of
service delivery, reduce barriers to
cooperation among programs, and
enhance the ability to assess the
effectiveness and impact of the
workforce investment system, including
the performance of the system in serving
individuals facing significant barriers to
employment.
This revision to the WIA program
reporting requirements identifies a
minimum level of information
collection that is necessary to comply
with Equal Opportunity requirements,
holds states appropriately accountable
for the Federal funds they receive,
including common performance
measures, and allows the Department to
fulfill its oversight and management
responsibilities.
