Abstract: This information collection request implements reporting requirements for ETA's High Growth Job Training Initiative (HGJTI) and the Community-Based Job Training Grants (CBJTG). Grantees submit standardized quarterly reports summarizing the number and types of participants served by grantees, the number of exiters, the number of participants engaged in training activities, and some participant outcomes. These reports and records help ETA gauge the effects of the HGJTI and CBJTG grants, identify grantees that could serve as useful models, and target technical assistance appropriately.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The reduction in burden occurred because the total number of HGJTI and CBJT grants awarded decreased from the estimated number projected previously. Hence the number of participants served through these grants decreased in proportion to the total number of grants, requiring recalculation for that reason and to align and redress some inadvertent past accounting errors. In addition, there were minor edits and changes in the quarterly performance report to improve clarity and effectiveness of data entry.
