financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment and Training
Administration is soliciting comments
concerning the collection of data about
the Trade Adjustment Assistance
Reform Act of 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Background
On June 16, 1998, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approved a Government Performance
and Results Act (GPRA) compliant
performance and participant outcomes
data system for the TAA Program; this
system was revised in 2000 and is
known as the Trade Act\Participant
Report (TAPR). States implemented use
of the TAPR beginning with the first
quarter of the fiscal year 1999 (October
through December, 1998), and have
continued to collect and report data
every quarter since then. The
Employment and Training
Administration is proposing similar
changes to the reporting requirements
for Workforce Investment Act Programs
and the Wagner-Peyser Act Programs.
Please note that ETA will seek
comments regarding extensions to these

I. Background
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 for each
program. In addition, each state submits
a file of individual records on all
participants who exit the programs,
formally called the Workforce
Investment Act Title 1–B Standardized
Record Data (WIASRD). These
participant records are submitted once a
year based on a July-to-June program
period. This notice is requesting the
extension of the current collection
without change.
The Employment and Training
Administration is proposing similar
changes to the reporting requirements
for Wagner-Peyser Employment Service
Programs and the Trade Adjustment
Assistance Act Programs. Please note
that ETA will seek comments regarding
extensions to these collections in
separate Federal Register notices.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
* Evaluate whether the proposed
