This collection is approved until 10/2002, at which time, ETA must resubmit for approval and be able to justify the continued collection of extensive process-related data. It is OMB's general position that burden placed on respondents should be directed toward results rather than process. Additionally, ETA's pilot studies were conducted in violation of the PRA, which limits the collection of information from more than 9 individuals. Approval is also conditional upon ETA's compliance with OMB's request for revised copies of all reports, forms, data specifications, and a glossary of terms, as agreed to in our 10/12/00 conference call.
