Terms of Clearance: This information collection request is approved; however, OMB remains concerned about the utility of the customer satisfaction component of this performance measurement system. While OMB is approving its use in order to maintain consistency between the ES and WIA programs, ETA should continue to explore methods and measures of customer satisfaction that would provide meaningful feedback to States and local boards. ETA will report to OMB on the progress of these efforts, as well as on the response rates & data quality associated with the current customer satisfaction process. Because approval of the customer satisfaction portion of this collection is tied to its continued use for the WIA programs, this collection should be revised and resubmitted for approval when substantive changes are made to the WIA collection (1205-0420).
