whether the information will have 

practical utility;

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration. 

Title of Collection: Collecting 

Aggregate Participant Counts for 

Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title 

IB, Wagner-Peyser Act, National 

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 

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 

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.
