The JQSR is due in the Regional Offices no later than 45 days after the end of each PY quarter. A final JQSR is due once all funds allotted in a program year or fiscal year (II-B) have been expended but no later than 90 days after the expiration of the period of fund availability for a program/fiscal year s funds. The quarterly due dates are 11/15, 2/15, 5/15 and 8/15.

In preparing this report, transfers for Titles II and III should be reported in accordance with the instructions provided in TEGL 7-95 on JTPA Intertitle Transfers. In addition, all fiscal year transfers for Title II-B and program year transfers for Title III must be reflected in the overall total for Line 2, Column D, and Line 18, Column D of the JQSR. The approved instructions for completion of the JQSR are attached. In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, ETA continues to encourage States to transmit the JQSR data electronically.

Starting in the first quarter of PY 1998, States will be provided with the option to submit reports via the Internet in a Year 2000 compliant format. New reporting procedures will be forwarded once they are finalized. Action Required: State JTPA Liaisons are requested to distribute the attached JQSR instructions to all officials within the State who need such information to implement the JQSR reporting requirements.
