Information on the health status of an applicant to Job Corps is obtained when the applicant completes ETA 653 during an interview with the admissions counselor as part of the admissions process.
US Code:
29 USC 3199
Name of Law: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
There were no program changes that would result in burden changes. However, the reduction in applicants accounted for reduced hours in #12. During PY 2016, 66,697 applicants completed applications for Job Corps. This number of applications is reduced from the PY2011 figure of 87,581 applicants in the previously approved ICR.
While not expected to affect burdens, Form ETA 653 has been changed to clarify the instructions and several questions.
