The Department of Labor (DOL) seeks approval of this information collection request ( ICR ) under the clearance process for “common forms.” The Department of Education ( ED) ( the two Departments to be joint ly referred to as the “Departments”) actively participated in the development of this ICR, and is a signatory to the “ WIOA Common Performance Reporting ”
information collection , which details the requirements for WIOA State wide performance reporting

.

This ICR is an update to an existing ICR, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Common Performance Reporting (OMB Control No. 1205

- 0526), which was approved June 30 , 2016. That
initial ICR contained the following : WIOA Statewide Performance Report Template and WIOA Local Performance Report Template ( ETA

- 9169) ; WIOA Joint Participant Individual Record Layout (PIRL) and WIOA Annual Statewide/Local Performance Report Specificati ons (ETA

- 9170);
and WIOA Eligible Training Provider (ETP) Performance Report Specifications and WIOA Eligible Training Provider (ETP) Performance Report Definitions (ETP

- 9171).

This ICR revises and updates certain aspects of those existing information col lections. In particular, a s part of this ICR, the Departments are adding new information collection requirements for WIOA Statewide performance reporting. In particular, the Departments are adding: (1) additional data elements related to training progra m information to the ETP Performance Report (ETA

- 9171) and (2) a new information collection requirement, i.e., Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative

. This additional information would be helpful in the implementation and evaluation of the workforc e development covered programs, and may include descriptions of such items as promising program practices, employer metrics, sector strategies, state evaluations, and rapid response activities. Also, a few non

- substantive adjustments have been made to the WIOA Annual Statewide Performance Report and Local
Area Performance Report Template specifications (ETA

- 9169) , and to the WIOA Joint PIRL (ETA

9170)

2 As stated in the p reamble to the Joint WIOA Final Rule

, 1 the Departments intend to implement a uniform, national customer satisfaction survey, applicable to both participants and reportable individuals. While this survey will not be tied to accountability provisions, and the survey results will not be factored into determinations of sanctions, customer sat isfaction will be a
factor considered in the certification of one

- stop centers. The information collected through the national customer satisfaction survey will also be useful to State administrators, local operators, and training providers. The specifics of the contents and format of this information collection instrument will be the subject of a separate ICR at a later time that will undergo public comment and a request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary. Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection. Attach a copy of the appropriate section of each statute and re gulation mandating or authorizing the collection of information.

Section 116 of WIOA (29 U.S.C. § 3141) requires States and Local Areas that operate the

six core programs of the workforce development system to comply with common performance accountability requirements for those programs , which are: the Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth programs (title I , administered by DOL ); the Wagner

- Peyser Act program (title III, administered by DOL); the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) program (titl e II , administered by ED ); and the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program (title IV , administered by ED ). As such, States and Local Areas that operate core programs must submit common performance data to demonstrate that specified performance levels are a chieved. States and Local Areas will report t he common performance data through this ICR

.

In addition, and in accordance with WIOA section 122(b)(2)

, training providers that are eligible to receive funds from Adult and Dislocated Worker programs authori zed under
title I of WIOA (also known as “eligible training providers” or ETPs) must report data on outcomes achieved under those programs to the State (s) in which they are listed on the
State ETP list

. States then report the information submitted by ETPs to DOL. The information collection requirements applicable to ETPs are contained in this ICR.

Section 116(d) (1) of WIOA mandates that the Secretaries of Labor and Education develop a template for performance reports to be used by States, local boards, and ETPs for reporting on outcomes achieved by participants in the six core programs . Corresponding joint regulations for these data collection requirements, including which primary performance indicators apply for each core program , have been issued by the Departments

. See 81 FR 55792 (Aug. 19, 2016) . The final regulations became effective on October 18, 2016. These

1 On August 19, 2016 (81 FR 55792), the Departments issued a Joint Final Rule to implement jointly administered activities authorized by titl e I of WIOA. The final rule became effective on October 18, 2016

3 joint performance regulations can be found at : (1) 20 CFR part 677 (which cover s the Adult
and Dislocated Worker programs (20 CFR part 68 0), the Youth program ( 20 CFR part 681 )

, and the Wagner

- Peyser Act program ( 20 CFR part 652) ) ; (2) 34 CFR part 463 , Subpart I ( which cover s the AEFLA program ); and (3) 34 CFR part 361

, Subpart E ( which cover s the VR

program )

.

The data collection instr uments covered in this ICR are necessary to meet the requirements of section 116 of WIOA. These information collection instruments were developed jointly by the Departments, and include: (1) the Joint Participant Individual Record Layout (PIRL), which pr ovides a standardized set of data elements, definitions, and reporting instructions for use by States and local entities administering WIOA core programs (ETA

- 9170) ; (2) the Statewide Performance Report Template, to be used for the reporting of data by Sta te entities that administer WIOA core programs (ETA

- 9169) ; (3) the Local Area Performance Report Template, to be used for the reporting of data by local entities that administer WIOA

core programs (ETA

- 9169) ; (4 ) the ETP Performance Report specifications a nd definitions, to be used for the reporting of data by eligible providers of training services under Title I Adult and Dislocated Worker programs (ETA

- 9171) ; and (5) the Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative

, a new information collection requireme nt to be used for providing information on the status and progress of workforce development program performance.

The remainder of this section provides additional details on each of the inf ormation
collection instruments covered in this ICR.

WIOA PARTI CIPANT INDIVIDUAL RECORD LAYOUT (PIRL) (ETA

- 9170)

The PIRL provides a standardized set of data elements, definitions, and reporting instructions that will be used to describe the characteristics, activities, and outcomes of WIOA participants. States and L ocal A reas will be required to collect participant information that corresponds with the data elements and descriptions delineated within the PIRL. Once collected, this information will then b e aggregated according to the
conditions outlined in the WIOA Annual State wide Performance Report Specifications

, which details the common data elements and technical specifications necessary for
calculation of the State and Local Area P erformance R eport elements that will be used in reporting across all core program s. Once aggregated, the outcomes will then be displayed according to the framework that is the WIOA Annual State wide Performance Report Template/WIOA Annual Local Area Performance Report Template

.

WIOA ANNUAL STATE WIDE PERFORMANCE REPORT TEMPLATE ( ETA

- 9169 )

Required annual data for the core programs include information related to the six primary performance indicators, participant counts and costs, and barriers to employment as
described below. The following data must be included in the State wide Perf ormance Report and will be reported on an individual or aggregate basis

, depending on the program to which they pertain

, as described later in this section.Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Common Performance Reporting

4 Primary Indicators of Performance for Core Programs

For WIOA core programs, States must report the results of primary indicators of performance set forth at section 116(b)(2)(A) (i) of WIOA:

1. The percentage of program participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the program

. 2

2. The percentage of program part icipants who are in unsubsidized employment during the fourth quarter after exit from the program

All of the above primary indicators of performance also will be displayed as a d isaggregate value based on the barriers to employment incorporated into the definition of an
“individual with a barrier to em ployment

, ” as set forth in WIOA section 3(24). The specific population disaggregation is described below in N umbers 22 through 35.

2 For the Title I Youth program, the percentage of WIOA youth participants includes those who are in education or training activities, or in unsubsidized employment, during the second quar ter after exit from the program (WIOA section 116 (b)(2)(A)(ii)(I)).

WIOA ANNUAL LOCAL AREA PERFORMANCE REPORT TEMPLATE ( ETA

- 9169 )

The WIOA Annual Local Area Performance Report Template is a subset of the WIOA Annual

State wide Performance Report Templat e which , under section 116(d)(3) of WIOA, requires
the collection of the same aforementioned costs, counts

, and primary indicators for Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker , and Youth programs. Similarly, the counts and primary indicators
must be disaggregated by the above listed barriers to employment

.

WIOA ET P PERFORMANCE REPORT ( Definitions

- Only) ( ETA

- 9171 )

Sec tion 116(d)(4) of WIOA , regarding c ontents of ETP Report s, mandates the collection of specific information for each program of study for each elig ible provider of training services
under title I Adult and Dislocated Worker programs. D OL allows States to use individual training accounts (ITAs) for out

- of

- school y outh WIOA participants ages 16 to 24 ( 20 CFR

681.550 )

. Therefore, f or purposes of the a nnual ETP P erformance R eport

, WIOA out

- of

school youth participating in a program of study using an ITA must be reported like a WIOA

a dult in all student and WIOA participant categories. Likewise, r eferences to the WIOA Adult Program for purposes of repor ting on the ETP Performance Report include out

8 This data collection covers defini tions for t itl e I ETP p erformance and corresponding tabulations (see ETA

- 9171 ), which should allow S tates to begin their own data collection
from the ETPs on the State list. The update adds some additional defined data elements to
the list , and also adds data element numbers and code values for each defined data
element. This ICR seeks approval for the defini tions of ETP terms and corresponding calculations of WIOA performance measures as they relate to the ETP R eport (See ETA

9171 ) and the method for calculating the total number of individuals served in a program of study.

States will submit their ETP data through the Department of Labor’s Workforce Integrated
Performance System in either a comma separated value format (.csv) or a comma delimited text file (.txt). No other file formats are currently supported by the system and will result in a data reject i f submitted.

Primary Performance Indicators for the WIOA ET P Performance Report

The ETP Performance Report, applicable only to the title I Adult and Dislocated Worker programs, must report the results of the four primary indicators of performance identi fied
below ( Number 1 through Number 4), along with the total number of individuals who exit from the program of study ( Number 5), with respect to all individuals who exited a program of study and all individuals who completed a program of study

, including individuals in the program of study who are not WIOA participants

. A program of study approved on the ETP list is synonymous with a “program of training services

, ” as defined at 20 CFR 680.420. A program of training services is one or more courses or cla sses, or a structured regimen that provides the training services at 20 CFR 680.200, which reflects the list of services set forth

in sec tion 134(c)(3)(D) of WIOA , and leads to the outcomes described at 20 CFR 680.420.

Listed below are the statutory req uirements that mandate the collection of data through the ETP Performance Report (see WIOA section 116(d)(4))

. D efinitions for the elements that must be collected in order to meet these reporting requirements are included in ETA

-

- 9 171 of the ICR.

1. The per centage of individuals who are in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the program of study

T he Departments also are adding a new information collection requirement to this ICR: the Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative

. As part of thi s new requirement, StatesWorkforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Common Performance Reporting

OMB Control No. 1205

- 0526

Jan uary 2017

11 must submit separately an Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative

, for Titles I and III, which must be limited to no more than 25 pages. Other core partner programs are required to participate in the development of the Repo rt Narrative as appropriate. The specific items to be described by States in t he Performance Report Narrative , and the submission method, will be requested through subsequent Departmental guidance, and may include topics such as:

 A discussion of “best pr actices,” “lessons learned,” and “success stories” that focus es on serving individuals with barriers to employment, employers, and communities

, including

information based on the state's evaluation and related research projects

. This discussion may includ e individuals such as out

- of

- school youth, low

- income adults, dislocated workers, individuals who are basic skills deficient, individuals with disabilities, veterans, any other individuals with barriers to employment, and other populations the State may wi sh to discuss.

 Discussion of progress made in achieving the State’s strategic vision and goals, as
described in the State’s Unified or Combined State Plan, for developing its workforce and meeting employer needs in order to support economic growth and econ omic self

sufficiency

.

 Discussion of S tate progress in implementing sector strategies and career pathways. Discussion may include: business engagement strategies, work

- based learning and training, including work experiences for youth and adults, transiti onal jobs, and incumbent worker training strategies and policies in the State.

 A listing of the waivers for which the S tate has received approval, information on how the waivers have changed the activities of the S tate and L ocal A reas, and how activities

c arried out under the waivers have directly or indirectly affected S tate and L ocal A rea performance outcomes.

 A discussion of the activities funded by the S tate’s discretionary (15 percent) funds. In
this section of the narrative

, S tates may describe act ivities undertaken in whole or in part with their discretionary funds, and how those activities directly or indirectly affect performance.

 Employer Metrics (including the metrics the S tate is piloting, as well as any other metrics the State is using)

.

 B rie f descriptions of: ( a) current or planned evaluation and related research projects, ( b) efforts to coordinate the development of such projects with local boards and other state agencies, including those for core programs, ( c) completed evaluation and
rel ated reports and how they were made accessible to the public electronically, and ( d) efforts to provide data, survey responses and timely site visits for Federal
evaluations

.

 A description of any National Dislocated Worker Grants awarded to or within t he State,
and how those funds are coordinated with State r apid r esponse activities, d i slocated

w orker programs, and disaster/emergency management activities, as applicable.Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Common Performance Reporting

12  Description of r apid r esponse a ctivities and l ayoff a version (include data on numbe r of companies served, individuals served, strategies for linking to A merican J ob C enter s, etc.)

 Description of any technical assistance needs or policy challenges that most effect use of the workforce system.

 Description of the State’s approach to asses sing customer satisfaction, results achieved,
and how the State has used the outcomes of customer satisfaction assessment to improve service delivery.

In their Performance Report Narrative , States must address the items requested through subsequent Depa rtmental guidance . States, however, will not be limited to the requested

items and may want to include additional information about their programs. Thus, States have flexibility in the contents of the Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative , as lon g as they address the requested items and stay within the 25

- page limit established for
the Narrative requirement.

Under WIOA section 185(a)(2), recipients of WIOA title I fund s must submit such records and reports “as the Secretary of Labor may require r egarding the performance of programs and activities carried out under [WIOA title I].” The information in narrative format will be helpful for the Departments to evaluate, in both a quantitative and qualitative way, the status and progress of workforce de velopment program performance.

2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used. Except for a new collection, indicate the actual use the agency has made of the information received from the current collection.

Section 116 (d) of WIOA requires States, Local Boards , and ETPs to submit the data required

in the information collection instruments covered in this ICR. The Departments will use the data collected to assess the effectiveness of WIOA’s core programs and to monitor and

a nalyze the performance of their grantees

. If S tates do not adequately meet the adjusted level of performance as described in 20 CFR 677.180 , they are subject to the five percent
sanction discussed in WIOA section 116 (f).

This data collection permits the Departments to evaluate program effectiveness, monitor compliance with statutory requirements, and analyze participant activity, while complying with OMB efforts to streamline Federal performance reporting.

Data collected in the WIOA Annual State wide Perf ormance Report, WIOA Annual Local Area Performance Report, and WIOA ET P Performance Report (or the data associated) will be made accessible to the public through an annual report published at www.doleta.g ov/performance (the Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth programs under

statute. All reports will comply with the requirements of section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which requires electronic and information technology to be accessible to people with
disabilities.

It should also be noted that the above report displays will be subject to a data suppression methodology where aggregated values below a certain threshold within a given geographic entity will not be displayed. Specifics on this, includi ng the level at which aggregated values cannot be displayed, will be disseminated jointly by the D epartments in subsequent guidance.

3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information involves the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses, and the basis for the decision for adopting this means of collection. Also, describe any consideration of using in

formation technology to reduce burden.

States are encouraged to collect participant data through electronic means

. The majority of
the information collection instruments covered in this ICR (e.g., WIOA Annual State wide
Performance R eports

, individual rec ord data ) may be submitted electronically through portals established by the Departments. For the VR program, RSA will develop the WIOA
Annual State wide Performance Reports based upon the information VR agencies submit via
the RSA

- 911 data collection.

We note that DOL is in the process of developing a new online system for States and grantees to submit their performance report data. This new system, the Workforce Integrated Performance System (WIPS) , became available for submissions of the first
report ing quarter of data in P rogram Y ear 2016 (by October 1, 2016). Implementation of the integrated performance reporting system will take place in several phases. The system capabilities will expand over the course of the phased implementation. Program

per formance reporting implementation also will be phased in as the system capabilities are fully realized. During Phase 1 of the Performance System Implementation Plan, WIPS will accept data upload s of comma separated values ( csv ) files and comma delimited t ext files from States and grantees on the data elements specific to each program. The Enterprise Data Reporting and Validation System ( EDRVS ) will continue to accept legacy layout files until the reporting requirements for participating programs are close d out

. DOL will continue to provide training and technical assistance as States and grantees adjust to submitting performance data using a new system. For additional information on implementation of WIPS , refer to DOL’s Training and Employment Notice No. 08

4. Describe efforts to identify d uplication. Show specifically why any similar information already available cannot be used or modified for use for the purposes described in Item 2
above.

Th e information covered in this ICR would be collected in addition to other program

- specific
collec tions under approved OMB Control Numbers/Report titles described in more detail
later in this section . Th e information collection covered in this ICR i ncorporate s only those data elements that are common to all core programs and required by section 116 of WIOA. The Departments collaborated to develop common definitions across programs , to the extent applicable, in order to further reduce the chances of duplicative reporting. The

WIOA ETP Report is not duplicative of any existing information collection.

The DOL notes that this ICR will take the place of several other currently existing
information collections , as described below

.

Information collection burdens associated with this ICR represent only the burden associated with reporting the common per formance data elements by the core programs and information collections that will be continued and are currently approved under various
control number s as outlined later in this section

. T his ICR does not reflect any burden associated with existing data c ollections that will continue separate and distinct and that are currently approved under other control numbers.

15 The Departments anticipate that some , but not all, of the above information collections may be phased out or modified, as appropriat e, as the WIOA performance measures are fully implemented.

WIOA requirements that are addressed in this ICR also may overlap with currently approved
information collections under program

- specific ICRs previously mentioned. However, it is
the intent of the Departments to revise existing ICRs or create new ICRs to supplement this
information collection, as appropriate

, to reduce duplication for the States

. For example, as described in response to Item 1 above , RSA has modified its existing C ase S ervice R eport (RSA

- 911) for the purpose of collecting individual

- level WIOA core program data from the 80 VR program grantees on a quarterly basis. RSA uses no other method for collecting the data required under section 116 of WIOA and there exists no overlap wit h any other data collection instrument used by RSA.

P erformance requirements of WIA will continue to apply to the title I Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth programs and the title III Wagner

- Peyser program although the performance requirements of WIOA are in effect. States must submit a closeout report for WIA title I and Wagner

- Peyser programs in program year 2018. For this reason, the separate packages that address the requirements of WIA and WIOA must be simultaneously
active for at least several m onths to collect the required data. The WIOA burden has been
calculated to reflect the estimate of monetary costs and staff hours necessary to operate the WIOA Performance Management

, Information and Reporting System once full implementation has taken pla ce. We acknowledge that this results in a temporary but technical overstatement of the combined WIA and WIOA burdens while the new system is phased in and the previous system comes to a close . Throughout the next several years the
burden will decrease as overlapping requirements in the WIA Management Information and Reporting System (OMB Control Number 1205

- 0420) and Labor Exchange Reporting System (OMB Control Number 1205

- 0240) are discontinued.

5. If the co llection of information impacts small businesses or ot her small entities, describe any
methods used to minimize burden.

This information collection does not have a significant impact on small entities. However,

16 6. Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is not conducted or is conducted less frequently, as well as any technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.

Failure to co llect or report the required performance data less frequently than annually, would violate WIOA. Such failure could impact a State’s receipt of Federal funds under WIOA, and/or be a determining factor for a financial sanction on the State pursuant to

sect ion 116(f) of WIOA . Moreover, such failure could impede the Departments’ efforts to ensure compliance with Federal performance requirements, thereby affecting the Departments’ ability to safeguard the Federal interest.

7. Explain any special circumstances that would cause an information collection to be
conducted in a manner:

This ICR implicates no special circumstances

.

8. If applicable, provide a copy and identify the date and page number of publication in the Federal Register of the agency's notice, re quired by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on the information collection prior to submission to OMB. Summarize public comments received in response to that notice and describe actions taken by the agency in response to these comments. Specifically ad dress comments received on cost and hour burden.

Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the agency to obtain their views on the availability of data, frequency of collection, the clarity of instructions and recordkeeping, disclosure, or report ing format (if any), and on the data elements to be recorded, disclosed, or reported.

Consultation with representatives of those from whom information is to be obtained or those who must compile records should occur at least once every 3 years

— even if the collection of information activity is the same as in prior periods. There may be circumstances that may preclude consultation in a specific situation. These circumstances should be explained.

The Departments engaged the public through a n NPRM Federal R egister n otice, published on April 16, 2015 at 80 FR 20573; the regulatory comment period closed on June 15, 2015. The Departments solicited public comments on this i nformation collection prior to
submission to OMB by publishing a 60

- day Federal Register no tice at 80 FR 43474 (July 22, 2015)

.

Following the 60

- day comment period, the Departments received 112 comments in response to the Federal Register notice: 26 were submitted by State VR agencies ; 47 responses were submitted by State and local workforce agencies, Workforce Investment Boards, One

The Departments considered public comments received in developing the fi nal rule and
associated information collection instruments. On August 19, 2016 (81 FR 55792), the Departments issued a Joint Final Rule to implement jointly administered activities authorized by title I of WIOA. The final rule became effective on October 18, 2016.

9. Explain any decision to provide any payment or gift to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.

There are no payments or gifts to respondents

.

10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for assurance in statute, regulation, or agency policy.

This ICR does not contain assurances of confidentiality, as States are the respondents. This
collection of information collect s personally identifiable information (PII) such as birthdates
and S ocial S ecurity numbers

. For example, Social Security n umbers (SSNs) are requested in Case Service Report (RSA

- 911) ; this PII is used for record control purposes (i.e., to cull out duplicates) and for the RSA

- SSA Data Exchange required by section 131 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by title IV of WIOA

. The Departments will not accept Social Security information reported by programs under Titles I, II, and III , unless collection and reporting of SSNs is specifically noted and required under the individual program

.

11. Provide additional justification for any questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. This justification should include the r easons why the agency considers the questions necessary, the specific uses to be made of the information, the explanation to be given to persons from whom the information is requested, and any steps to be taken to obtain their

consent.

18 12. Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of inf ormation.

Summary:

The apportionment of burden between the Departments is discussed later in this section;
howev er, it may be useful to consider the combined burden States and participants will
undertake. For purposes of data entry into the reginfo.gov database, thi s ICR requests only
burden for DOL. Due to system limitation, the burden will be apportioned for dat a entry purposes by each agency claiming a portion of the total burden and responses; these total
burden and responses will reflect the total time burden once the two agencies have completed their actions.

For purposes of this ICR, the Governor of a State will report information on an annual basis. The Departments recognize that similar information may be reported to each program on a more frequent basis. Those separate ICRs will claim the burden for program specific reporting. Time burden for each resp onse includes underlying recordkeeping and the filing of each report.

The total hourly burden for this collection is 9,863,065 hours annually with 19,113,825 unduplicated respondents and 38,216,056 responses. As explained elsewhere in this ICR,
the DOL s hare of this burden is 8,325,136 hours, based on the fact that approximately

8 4 percent of the burden under the collections is borne by DOL programs. Each Department will claim its burden by claiming a share of the responses, in ord er to have totals align ; thus, DOL is claiming 33,018,447 responses for purposes of this submission.
The ED request s will be 5,197,609 responses and 1,537,929 burden hours.

Apportionment Detail:

The annual burden for the information collection of the common performance

accoun tability data is calculated across core programs based on the number of program participants, the time it takes each respondent to complete and submit its report, and the costs incurred by each program to complete the data collection and report submission

process. In administering the WIOA core programs, States will collect standardized data elements using this common control number for all core programs, i.e ., WIOA A dult

, D islocated W orkers, and Y outh ; Wagner

- Peyser ; AEFLA ; and VR programs. The WIOA

Annu al Loca l Area Performance Reports for t itle I programs are populated based on the information provided within a given S tate’s WIOA Annual State wide Performance Report Template, using the exact same data elements and reporting format, and filtered by the

L o cal A rea in question. As such, the L ocal A rea Performance R eport incurs no additional
collection burden. The burdens for the ETP Report and the Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative are included as a separate set of tables within this burden esti mate.

For example, by multiplying the Wagner

- Peyser Act program’s total estimated number of annual responses ( 14,667,639 ) by their minutes per record (15 minutes or 0.25 hours) and dividing the product by the 60 minutes that make up an hour, an annual burden of 3,666,910 hours is calculated.Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Common Performance Reporting

28 13. Provide an estimate for the total annual cost burden to respondents o r record keepers resulting from the collection of information. (Do not include the cost of any hour burden already reflected on the burden worksheet).

Summary:

There also will be an associated start

- up cost for each respondent to implement WIOA.
These costs include: enhancements to data collection systems to adhere to WIOA requirements, training staff on data collection rules, and for ETA, associated IT cost for transitioning data intake systems to collect exit information in a new method (e.g., data

sy stems must be able to re

- open closed cases if a participant re

- enters the program within a given program year). A breakdown of these costs is listed below. It should be noted that
the costs included here are one

- time only, except for OCTAE’s AEFLA respon dents.

E mployment and Training Administration

For DOL core programs, the total cost of $5.7 million to respondents is derived from an estimated cost of $100,000 per each of the 57 respondents using regulatory impact analysis ( RIA ) source data. This cost to S tate grantees is primar il y to upgrade/revise their management information systems to be able to collect the new data elements required under WIOA, to revise some data elements that may have changed as a result of sharing definitions and input values w ith ED , and to create a unique identifier that can be tracked over time. Any additional cost associated with data collection and reporting will be incurred
at the F ederal level to accept the revised format of the data files from each respondent.

Office o f Career, Technical, and Adult Education

Because individual participant records for OCTAE’s AEFLA program are collected and
maintained at the S tate level by S tate agencies responsible for administering and supervising adult education policy , significant e nhancements and maintenance of S tate data systems and staff training will be required under WIOA. OCTAE estimates the annual cost
of S tate data system requirements and staff training for compliance with the new collection and reporting of WIOA performance data at $350,000 . This annual cost is comprised of $250,000 for data system enhancements, maintenance, and staff training and $100,000 for the additional data matching and staff training required to collect data and report outcomes for each participant e xit. The review of public comments resulted in a decision by the Departments that a participant who has more than one exit during a program year will count as a separate participant for each exit for data collection and outcome reporting under the perform ance indicators. For such participants, the ICR uses the term “period of participation” to refer to the time between each “date of program entry” and the corresponding “ date of program exit ” during a program year

. Such participants have multiple periods of participation in a given program year

. Prior to WIOA, the AEFLA program reported only unduplicated counts of participant outcomes. Making the change to an accountability structure that is based on reporting outcomes for each exit by aWorkforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Common Performance Reporting

29 participant duri ng a program year represents a significant operational change for OCTAE’s AEFLA program and will require a commensurate increase in the associated annual IT, data matching, and training costs for each respondent.

Rehabilitation Services Administration

All 80 State VR agencies will incur burden for start

- up activities associated with modifying their case management systems (CMS) to collect and report data required by WIOA, including data to support the primary indicators of performance and other related performance requirements under section 116 of title I of WIOA. However, the burden for making such changes will vary among the 80 VR agencies dependent upon the size, sophistication of their information technology systems, and whether the agency contracts for outside assistance for developing and maintaining their CMS. W e estimate that each of the 80 State VR agencies will require computer systems analysts for the task of modify ing and reprogramming their CMS. However, because the level of effort for mak ing such changes will vary , the burden estimates for this work by Computer Systems Analysts has been broken down to reflect this complexity. Roughly 30 of the 80 VR agencies use case management and reporting systems purchased from software providers who a re responsible for maintaining and updating software. We estimate that each of these

30 VR agencies will require two Computer Systems Analysts to spend 150 hours integrating the software changes into their own State systems, resulting in 300 hours per age ncy, or a total of 9,000 hours in additional burden for all 30 agencies. Of the remaining

50 VR agencies that do not have agreements with a software provider to maintain and update software, five of these agencies are categorized as large agencies (with m ore than 5,000 employment outcomes) and 45 of these agencies are categorized as small to medium

sized agencies (with fewer than 1,000 employment outcomes, and between 1,000 and 5,000 employment outcomes, respectively). We estimate the five large agencies will require five computer systems analysts to spend 1,000 hours each to maintain and update agency software (5,000 hours per agency), for a total of 25,000 hours. We estimate the 45
small to medium

- sized agencies will require two computer systems analyst s to spend 1,000 hours each to maintain and update the software (2,000 hours per agency), for a total of 90,000 hours in order to make the necessary softw are changes. This results in a total of 115,000 hours for the 50 agencies without outside vendor supp ort to maintain and update their information systems.

Combining this burden with the 9,000 hours for the 30 agencies that we estimate will only have to integrate the software modification s provided through their vendor contract results

in a total burden estimate of 124,000 hours for all 80 VR agencies. Prorating these total burden hours at 36 percent results in an estimated total of 44,640 hours. Using an hourly compensation rate of $5 7 .9 5 (based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for State

-Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Common Performance Reporting

OMB Control No. 1205

- 0526

Jan uary 2017

30 em ployed Computer Systems Analysts) 5 , the prorated estimated cost for all 80 VR agencies

is $2,586,888 (44,640 hours x $57.95 = $2,586,888)

.

In addition to maintaining and updating software, 48 of the 50 VR agencies that do not utilize vendor supplied case management software will incur additional software licensing or user fees. Using an average cost of $700 per user annually, we estimate a total cost for the approximate 6,600 users in States served by vendor systems of $4,620,000. However,

we estimate t hat only 20 percent of the increase in such costs, or $924,000, is related to WIOA requirements. Applying the 36 percent proration factor to this estimated amount, the 48 agencies will incur an additional $332,640 in licensing or user fees.

WIOA core pro grams will need access to quarterly S tate UI wage data in order to efficiently identify exited participants who are employed in the second and fourth full quarters after exit to report on the employment indicators. These agencies also will need access to the

S tate quarterly UI wage data to identify the individual quarterly wages in the second full quarter in order to calculate the median wage indicator. Prior to WIOA, DOL and Adult Education programs obtained quarterly UI wage data on their participants. However, this will be the first time that State VR agencies will be required to obtain and report UI wage data. VR programs will need to contribute a reasonable and proportional share of the costs for the maintenance and use of the State UI wage system a nd interstate wage information systems, on a per individual, per query, monthly, quarterly or annual basis. For State VR agencies, the Departments estimated this cost by first multiplying the data query cost for large VR agencies ($20,000) by the number o f large VR agencies (10). We then multiplied the data query cost for medium VR agencies ($8,000) by the number of medium VR agencies (42). Finally, we multiplied the data query cost for small VR agencies ($4,000) by the number of small VR agencies (28). We summed the annual data query cost for all VR agencies to obtain a to tal estimated cost of $648,000.

State VR agencies will need to purchase data analytic software and other IT tools, including related training to increase their capability to more effectively analyze their program data for the primary indicators of performance and the disaggregation of the performance data by employment barriers. In addition, they will need to the capability to integrate data from UI reporting systems into their case management system s. We estimate that these one

time costs will average $25,000 for each of the 10 large agencies, $15,000 for each of the

42 medium

- sized agencies, and $10,000 for each of the 28 small sized agencies. These estimated costs of $250,000 for large agencies, $630,000 for medium

- size agencies, and $280,000 for small

- sized agencies, sum to a total cost of $1,160,000 for all 80 VR agencies.

Finally, the 80 VR agencies will be required to train VR Counselors on the new and modified
data elements that need to be collected and entered into their case management system. We estimate that each VR agency has an average of 62 VR Counselors and that each

VR Counselor will require 8 hours of training. Using an hourly compensation rate of $39

. 70 per VR Counselor (based on data from BLS ) 6 , the estimated cost for VR Counselors to receive such training is $1,575,296 for all 80 agencies, or $19,691 per agency. In addition, we estimate that development of the training materials and methodologies will require one Staff Traine r 8 hours per VR agency. Using the Social and Community Service Manager hourly compensation rate ( $56.80 ) 7 as a proxy for the Staff Trainer, the estimated cost for development of the training is $36,352 for all 80 agencies (1 Staff x 8 hours x $56.80 x 80

. Since we are estimating that approximately 36 percent of the burden is related to joint performance accountability, the estimated total cost associated is $580,193 ( $1,611,648 x 36% = $580,193 ) , or $7,252 per VR agency ( $580,193 / 80 agencies

- 14 position 8 , the total VR cost for software development is estimated to be $296,629

. Because we are estimating that approximately 36 per cent of the burden is related to joint performance accountability, the total attributable to the joint burden is $106,786

. In addition, RSA will need to purchase software that will enable RSA to compile the quarterly data reported by VR agencies into
the Annual Reports required under WIOA. The estimated cost of the needed software is $68,925.

(1 staff x 2,080 hours x $65.36 hourly wage = $135,949
