The Department of Labor today has published the thirty-day PRA notice for the information collection in support of the DOL-Only Performance Accountability, Information, and Reporting System. Comments are due to the Office of Management and Budget by May 22.
This request fulfills Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act reporting requirements regarding the collection of performance indicators described in Sec. 116(b)(2)(A). Requirements for state level collection of this data for the programs contained in this collection are based on WIOA requirements.
As part of this ICR, ETA has made changes to the Participant Individual Record Layout (ETA-9172), (Program) Performance Report (ETA-9173-APPSHP) to facilitate State and grantee performance reporting. In particular, as part of the effort to streamline program performance reporting for ETA grants with significant apprenticeship components as a primary goal of the program (Apprenticeship grants), the agency is adding the performance information collection requirements for Apprenticeship grants.
