Approved
consistent with the following terms of clearance: 1) DOL will
consolidate this approval request (1205-0273) with the approved
package under OMB# 1205-0336. Therefore, this approval request is
given an expiration date of 6/2000 in order to correspond with the
expiration of 1205-0336. The next submission of 1205-0336 will
account for the increased burden associated with the combining of
the two packages and DOL will attach a burden change sheet
eliminating the burden hours associated with the 1205-0273; 2) DOL
will no longer send to the public information collection requests
(ICR) prior to OMB approval. (OMB notes that it is not good
practice to send out an ICR stating that the ICR becomes effective
upon OMB review and approval. Consistent with the review process
under the Paperwork Reduction Act, DOL will wait until OMB review
is completed and an approval is given before sending out an ICR.);
3) DOL will address, at minimum, the following issues in the
"Change 1" to the 2/97 TEGL - Instructions for Submission of
Consolidated State Plans under Titles II and III of JTPA for PYs 98
and 99 and PY 98 W-P: (a) An instruction on electronic reporting
options; and (b) An instruction providing States with the option to
substitute their state plan with an indication of what changes have
been made from the previously submitted State plan plus a
certification that the remainder of the State plan remains
unchanged; 4) DOL will include in the upcoming TEGL covering GPRA
in ETA generally, a revised version of the GPRA section of the 2/97
TEGL which includes time frames for each performance action; 5) DOL
will reference this revised GPRA section in the "Change 1"; 6) DOL
will revise the Title III state plan to require respondents to
demonstrate a link between what the State is planning in terms of
goals, objectives, and performance with what ETA has delineated as
goals for the Title III program under GPRA; 7) Prior to sending to
the public, DOL will submit the following for OMB review as an
addendum to this clearance package - (a) The "Change 1" to the 2/97
TEGL as referenced in terms #3 and #5 above, (b) The TEGL covering
GPRA in ETA generally as referenced in term #4 above, (c) The
revised section of the Title III state plan as referenced in term
#6 above.
