Trade Adjustment Assistance Administrative Collection of States (TAAACS)

This new Information Collection Request (ICR) is being submitted to permit the Department’s issuance of a new information collection instrument that will collect data on state practices pursuant to the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program under Section 239(c) of Title II, Chapter 2 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 USC § 2271 et seq.). There is currently no comprehensive collection of information regarding the organization and practices of State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) with regard to how the TAA Program is administered. The submissions will be used by Employment and Training Administration (ETA) staff to collect information regarding SWA administration and operations of the TAA Program only to evaluate best practices. Failure to collect this information would prevent the Department from identifying the most effective mechanisms for increasing program efficiency.
