Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, we have approved the Second Follow-up Survey Instrument to the JTPA Evaluation Experiments. This approval only applies to the second follow-up, and extends through January 31, 1992, when the Department expects this phase to be completed. The clearance shall, as terms of this approval, be subject to the following conditions: 1) Because the Department has been successful in obtaining administrative records in place of survey data for this study, it shall prepare a report which compares the quality, availability, and substituability of administrative records with that of survey data. The report shall discuss any difficulties encountered in obtaining State adminstrative data. 2) The Department shall present to OMB, in written form, any raw data and analysis obtained from the First Follow-up Survey as soon as that information becomes available.
