Approval is sought for an additional
follow-up survey to be conducted as part of the Individual Training
Account (ITA) Experiment. The experiment is designed to test three
different approaches to providing ITA's. Data from this follow-up
survey of ITA customers will be used by the Department to
understand experiences inside the workforce system and labor market
outcomes for ITA customers. Measures of these experiences and
outcomes are necessary to the evaluation of the three
approaches.
It is estimated that fewer
respondents will be surveyed for this follow-up effort 3360 rather
than 3840); therefore fewer hours are estimated to be needed
(1,120)than previously anticipated, requested and approved
(1920).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
