These operating and/or reporting forms are standard for the operation of a Job Corps Center. They are Federal information collection requirements for operators of such centers. Job Corps has automated the following Employment and Training Administration (ETA) forms: 2110, 2181, 6-131A, 6-131B, 6-131C, 640, 661, and 328.
The previously approved forms ETA Forms 9190-A, 9190-B and 9190-C, a series of Grant Data Collection forms. These forms collect demonstration grant applicantsâ demographic information. The Department of Labor is funding 26 demonstration sites under Job Corps Scholars Program grants and requires the reporting of data within the GDC system for calculating the performance outcomes required under their FOA and WIOA. This revision updated these forms to include form numbers.
Additionally, Job Corps has included a new form, the ETA-9192, Annual Center Academic Programs Review and Planning Report, to this request to collect, annually, information from academic centers on their current and future plans for academic programs related to both attaining learning gains and completing an academic credential. This form will collect information that cannot be captured through existing data systems or other sources. The information collected will allow Job Corps to better understand the academic landscape, including barriers to academic credential attainments, academic instructional needs, requirements and barriers around TABE testing used for attaining Educational Functional Level gains reported under WIOA, and future planning needs around attainment of High School Diploma credentials or recognized equivalents. No individual student-level data will be collected; all data will be aggregated or at the center-level.
The previously approved total annual burden hours were 81,516 hours, and this request notes 83, 640 hours. An increase of 3,124 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
