To implement activities under the ARRA, ETA must accurately assess the readiness, or capacity, of the workforce system across key administrative and program areas in order to identify state and local Technical Assistance (TA) needs. ETA Regional Offices plan to use this suggested review questionnaire to consult with each state and a broad sample of local areas to determine their technical assistance needs. Information gathered from these consultations will result in recommendations on technical assistance that ETA should take to support state and local implementation of the ARRA.
ARRA-mandated provisions include 30 days to allocate funds, transparency and reporting requirements, etc. Public harm is reasonably likely to result without emergency clearance as the nature of the workforce investment activities is to bring immediate relief to the millions of Americans that are most directly affected by the emergency nature of the current economic recession – those that are unemployed. This is the clear intent of the provisions of Title VIII of the ARRA legislation. In preparing the guidelines and readiness questionnaire, the agency has taken all necessary steps to consult with workforce system agents and stakeholders to minimize the burden of collecting the information.
