Abstract: Under this clearance, ETA collects 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.
