Agency: Employment and Training Administration. Title of Collection: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) High Growth and Emerging Industries (HGEI) Grants. OMB Control Number: Pending. Affected Public: Private Sector (relevant grantees) and Individuals or households (program participants) Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 262 grantees and 33,000 program participants. Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 87,048. Total Estimated Annual Cost Burden (excluding hourly wage costs): $0. Description: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (The Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. Among other funding directed to the Department of Labor, the Recovery Act provides $750 million for a program of competitive grants for worker training and placement in high growth and emerging industries, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) High Growth and Emerging Industries (HGEI) grants. It is critical to record the impact of these Recovery Act resources, current information on participants in these grants, and the services provided to them. Therefore, to obtain a more robust look at participants and services provided with Recovery Act resources, the Employment & Training Administration (ETA) proposes a new information collection set for ARRA HGEI grantees. Why Are We Requesting Emergency Processing? This collection comprises a participant and performance reporting strategy that will provide a more robust view of the impact of the Recovery Act funds, providing greater information on levels of program participation, the characteristics of the participants served and the types of services provided through ARRA HGEI programs. The performance reporting requirements in this package align with outcome categories identified in the Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGAs) used to award these grants, SGA/DFA PY–08– 17, SGA/DFA PY–08–18, SGA/DFA PY– 08–19, SGA/DFA PY–08–20, SGA/DFA PY–08–21 and SGA/DFA PY–09–01. This data collection will provide ETA with more comprehensive information on the status of individual grants and individuals that receive services and find employment through these grants, and the data collection will enable ETA to provide more targeted technical assistance to support improvement of grantee outcomes. ETA will provide PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ARRA HGEI grantees with a data collection system that will support the collection of participant data for required reporting elements. ETA has already started awarding ARRA HGEI grants, and expects to award nearly all ARRA HGEI grants by February 2010, so the approval of this request is also necessary to allow ETA to provide an OMB approved reporting form quickly to ARRA HGEI grantees as their grant operations commence and to report performance accountability information immediately on the use of Recovery Act funds.
