AGENCY: Employment and Training

Title of Collection: Collecting
Aggregate Participant Counts for
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title

Emergency Grants, and Reemployment
Services Grants.
OMB Control Number: Pending.
Frequency of Collection: Monthly
collection.
Affected Public: State Workforce
Agencies.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: 54.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 41,472 hours for monthly reports
and 573,160 hours for quarterly
WIASRD reports.
Description: The American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (The
Recovery Act) was signed into law by
President Obama on February 17, 2009.
To record the impact of the Recovery
Act resources, more current information
on participants and the services
received is essential. Therefore, to
obtain a more robust look at participants
and services provided with the
additional Recovery Act resources, the
Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) proposes
supplemental reports. Under these new
supplemental reports, States are
required to submit information that
States already collect; however, the
supplemental reports are required to be
submitted monthly.
• For WIA Adult, States will report
aggregate counts of all participants,
including those whose services are
funded with regular WIA Adult formula
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:35 Apr 29, 2009
Jkt 217001
funds and Recovery Act funds. States
will report aggregate counts on those
participants who are low-income, those
receiving Temporary Assistance to
Needy Families and other public
assistance, the number of UI claimants,
Veterans, and individuals with
disabilities, numbers in training and
type of training, and numbers receiving
supportive services.
• For WIA Dislocated Workers, States
will report aggregate counts of all
participants, including those whose
services are funded with regular WIA
Dislocated Worker formula funds and
Recovery Act funds. States will report
the number of UI claimants, Veterans,
and individuals with disabilities,
numbers in training and type of
training, and numbers receiving
supportive services.
• For National Emergency Grants,
financed with Recovery Act Funds Only,
States will report aggregate counts of
participants, including the number of UI
claimants, Veterans, and individuals
with disabilities, numbers in training
and type of training, and numbers
receiving supportive services.
• For WIA Youth, served with
Recovery Act Funds Only, reporting will
be slightly different. States will report
aggregate counts of all Recovery Act
youth participants, including the
characteristics of participants, the
numbers of participants in summer
employment, services received,
attainment of a work readiness skill,
which is required in the Recovery Act,
and completion of summer youth
employment. States will also continue
to submit the regular WIA quarterly and
annual reports, including any youth
who continue services under the WIA
year-round youth program.
• For the Wagner-Peyser Act
Employment Service, States will report
on the number of participants served,
number of Unemployment Insurance
(UI) claimants served, and the type of
services received. States will be
required to submit supplemental reports
of aggregate counts of all participants
whose services are financed with
regular Wagner-Peyser Act formula
funds and Recovery Act funds (i.e.,
Employment Service and
Reemployment Services).
• For the Wagner-Peyser
Reemployment Services Grants, States
will report on the same data elements
that are collected for the Wagner-Peyser
Act Employment Service report, with
one additional data element: referral to
training, including WIA-funded training.
In addition to these aggregate monthly
reports, ETA proposes that States
submit the WIA individual records
(WIASRD) on all participants in the
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
WIA title 1B programs, and in National
Emergency Grants, on a quarterly basis,
beginning with the 3rd quarter of
Program Year 2009, which ends on
March 31, 2010. The first deadline for
the required quarterly submission will
be May 15, 2010. This start date gives
States sufficient time to adjust their
management information systems.
Why are we requesting Emergency
Processing? The supplemental reports
and quarterly collection of WIA
individual records allows ETA to
overcome the limitations imposed by
current outcome based performance
reporting requirements. This collection
comprises a participant and
performance reporting strategy that will
provide a more robust, ‘‘real time’’ view
of the impact of the Recovery Act funds,
providing greater information on levels
of program participation, and provide
more information about the
characteristics of the participants
served, and the types of services
provided. The approval of this request
is necessary to allow ETA to report
performance accountability information
immediately on the effective use of
Recovery Act funds already received by
State workforce agencies. With these
monthly reports more detailed
information on individuals will be
available while they are participating in
the programs. There is also significant
value added by obtaining quarterly
individual records from State workforce
agencies. First, quarterly submissions
provide more timely information to
respond to the oversight needs of
Governors, Congress and other Federal/
State stakeholders and the general
public. Second, ETA will benefit from
more timely analysis and States will
have access to more regular updates on
nationwide participation information as
well as employment and training trends.

counts of all participants, including those whose services are funded
with regular WIA Dislocated Worker formula funds and Recovery Act
funds. States will report the number of UI claimants, Veterans, and
individuals with disabilities, numbers in training and type of

For National Emergency Grants, financed with Recovery Act
Funds Only, States will report aggregate counts of participants,
including the number of UI claimants, Veterans, and individuals with

States will be required to submit supplemental reports of aggregate
counts of all participants whose services are financed with regular

For the Wagner-Peyser Reemployment Services Grants, States
will report on the same data elements that are collected for the
Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service report, with one additional data
element: referral to training, including WIA-funded training.
In addition to these aggregate monthly reports, ETA proposes that
