Terms of Clearance: Approved as a generic clearance for quick-turnaround WIA surveys with the following procedures for individual clearances: (1) DOL shall submit a "change worksheet" (83-C), along with description of the study and all supporting documents necessary for OMB to fully review the study. The 83-C must account for any increased burden based on the individual studies if it is not already accounted for in the burden estimates for the generic package. (2) OMB will have 15 working days to review the package and submit any questions and/or comments to DOL. OMB and DOL will then work cooperatively to come to conclusion on any outstanding issues prior to OMB clearance of the individual study. (3) If a WIA study is judged to be outside the scope of the generic clearance, DOL will submit it under normal clearance procedures. Upon resubmission, DOL must summarize the uses of the generic clearance and how useful these surveys have been.

Abstract: ETA seeks an extension of clearance to collect data from state workforce agencies and local workforce investment areas on a quick turnaround basis. ETA proposes to conduct 8 to 20 short surveys of up to 30 questions that would provide timely information identifying the scope and magnitude of various practices or problems nationally. The surveys are needed to understand key operational issues in light of the Administration's policy priorities and of other partner programs.
