Abstract: States submit quarterly performance data for the Wagner-Peyser funded public labor exchange services through ETA 9002 reports and for Veterans' Employment and Training Services (VETS)-funded labor exchange services through VETS 200 reports. The Employment and Training (ET) Handbook No. 406 contains the report forms and provides instructions for completing these reports. The ETA Handbook No. 406 contains a total of eight reports (ETA 9002, A, B, C, D, E, F; VETS 200 A, B, C). The ETA 9002 and VETS 200 reports collect data on individuals who receive core employment and workforce information services through the public labor exchange and VETS-funded labor exchange of the states' One-Stop delivery systems. Respondents are State governments. Selected standardized information pertaining to customers in Wagner Peyser programs are collected and reported for the purposes of general program oversight, evaluation and performance assessment. Revisions are requested to the forms to comply with the 2011 Jobs for Veterans Act.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are no program changes leading to changes in burden. The number of responses reported in the reginfo.gov database increased because the agency has reconsidered how individual responses should be counted. Now the agency counts responses given by individuals to the State agency as a response and the State agency's recording as a response. The Department notes that the prior ICR accounted for all time burden. Burden hours have decreased as fewer individuals needed services tracked through LERS.
