Description: The American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)
outlines the public workforce system’s
important role in helping workers
prepare for and find employment, and
providing work experience for youth.
The Act contains many provisions for
ensuring a successful implementation of
effective workforce interventions. To
ensure success, Federal, State and local
workforce systems must be guided by
four overriding principles: (1)
Transparency and accountability in the
use of funds; (2) timely spending of the
funds and implementation of quality
activities; (3) expanded workforce
system capacity and service levels; and,
(4) increased training leading to
increased employment opportunities.
The first step in the process is to
accurately assess workforce system

readiness across key administrative and
program areas and to identify Technical
Assistance (TA) needs. To do this, ETA
Regional Offices will conduct an
assessment of states and many local
areas, compile those assessment
responses, and provide
recommendations on technical
assistance actions ETA should take to
support state and local implementation
of the ARRA.
Why Are We Requesting Emergency
Processing?
If DOL were to comply with standard
PRA clearance procedures, it would not
be able to properly comply with the
ARRA-mandated requirement to assess
and mitigate risk associated with the
allocation of ARRA funds. The
Department will take all necessary steps
in consulting with state workforce
agencies to minimize the burden of
collecting the readiness information.

helps to ensure that requested data can
be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Employment and Training
Administration is soliciting comments
regarding an extension of an approved
Information Collection Request (ICR) for
the Impact Evaluation of the Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program.
The ICR was approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in a
Notice of Action (NOA) (ICR Reference
Number 200606–1205–009) on
November 15, 2006. The NOA identified
November 30, 2009 as the expiration
date for the ICR. An extension of the ICR
is now needed in order to complete data
collection activities for the impact
analysis and process study of the TAA
evaluation.
The TAA program provides training,
income support, and other
reemployment and supportive services
to workers who lose their jobs or have
their work hours or salary reduced
because of increased imports or shifts in
production to foreign countries. The
evaluation is intended to generate
information that will be useful in
developing administrative guidance,
technical assistance, and legislative or
budgetary proposals.
The evaluation will estimate impacts
of the TAA program on the employment
and earnings of participants by
comparing the outcomes of TAA
participants to statistically matched
comparison groups of Unemployment
Insurance (UI) recipients. This quasiexperimental approach requires
extensive information on demographic
and personal characteristics as well as
on programmatic experiences of both
TAA participants and comparison group
members. Such information will be
gleaned from state TAA and UI
administrative records and from
baseline and follow-up surveys of
individuals in the treatment and
comparison groups.
The process study undertaken as part
of the evaluation is designed to
