Respondents are State governments. Selected standardized information pertaining to participants in WIA Title 1B programs are collected and reported for the purposes of general program oversight, evaluation and performance assessment.
The hour burden diminished due to the agency's reduction of the hours and costs for states completing the customer satisfaction survey, since currently only 22 of 53 respondents now use it. The cost burden for respondents, which is included in the state grants, was inadvertantly included in earlier submissions, so it has been deleted.
