**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. **2007 Baseline:** FY2007 data is Baseline data;
Actual Number based on the 2006-2007 performance report actual expenses
reported and verified, number of certified project participants and
verified number of project participants enrolled seeking certification. 
SLP staff are currently in the process of verifying and analyzing the
2007 data that was collected, and expect to report actual per
participant costs in March 2008.\
**2008 Target:** This will be the baseline percentage minus 1%. (These
actual data will be reported based on the 2007-2008 actual expenses
reported and verified numbers of both participants seeking certification
and participants certified during the 2007-2008 project performance
year. However this data maybe incomplete given that some may request a
one year no cost extension. Complete data is expected in February 2010
when projects have completed their no-cost extension.)
