The WISPR System replaces the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of 7 Employment and Training programs: ES, VETS, WIA Title IB Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth, and TAA, and NEGÂs. It replaces the following three OMB-approved information collections: 1205-0240, 1205-0420, and 1205-0392, which will be discontinued when the WISPR system is implemented July 2008. The goal is to ensure that the workforce system is clearly focused on results, which will help ensure that the systemÂs jobseeker and employer customers are effectively served. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and other Federal agencies developed a set of common performance measures; these common measures are integral to ETAÂs performance accountability system and are the key results that ETA programs strive to achieve for their customers and to measure with a uniform information collection system.
This information collection system, which will replace the WIA collection system entitled "WISARD," incorporates Common Measures across Workforce Investment Act programs and other programs.
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 following is a summary of the topics, regarding 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 benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
