This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the H–1B Technical Skills
Training (TST) and Jobs and Innovation
Accelerator Challenge (JIAC) Grants
information collection. In applying for
the H–1B TST, JAIC, and Ready to Work
grant programs, grantees agree to submit
participant-level data quarterly for
individuals who receive services
through these programs. The reports
include aggregate data on demographic
characteristics, types of services
received, placements, outcomes, and
follow-up status. Specifically, grantees
summarize data on employment and
training services, placement services,
and other services essential to
successful unsubsidized employment
through H–1B programs. This reporting
structure features standardized data
collection on program participants and
quarterly narrative, performance, and
Management Information System report
formats. All data collection and
reporting will be done by grantee
organizations (State or local
governments, not-for-profit, or faithbased and community organizations) or
their sub-grantees. This information
collection has been classified as a
revision because of (1) code value
formatting changes; (2) additional
technical assistance guidance in the
Handbook to Performance Reporting; (3)
reformatting the Handbook to improve
its readability; (4) removing duplicative
data elements listed on Form ETA–
9166, Standardized Quarterly Progress
Report; (5) changes to an evaluation
consent form; (6) the addition of a
baseline information form to support
data collection; and (7) the removal of
information collections related to
completed site visit activities. American
Competitiveness and Workforce
Improvement Act of 1998 section 414(c)
authorizes this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 219(c) note.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
