Grantees provide selected standardized information pertaining to customers in Reintegration of Ex-Offenders-Adult (RExO) Adult programs--formerly the Prisoner Re-entry Initiative (PRI) programs--for the purposes of general program oversight, evaluation and performance assessment. ETA provides all grantees with a management information system to use for collecting participant data and for preparing and submitting the required quarterly reports.
The burden reduction is due to a decrease in grantees from 74 to 38. Also the BeneChoice information collection appended to this ICR in ROCIS is cancelled, along with ETA-9140A, because that grantee program concluded. Thus there is an added drop of 20 grantees and 80 annual hours. The added responses are due to an additional IC which acknowledges the individual participants' responses and burden for providing information for participant data records.
