The Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act requires states to report on performance in core
programs such as the Wagner-Peyser Act programs, the Adult,
Dislocated Worker, and Youth programs, Adult Education and Family
Literacy Act programs, and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act
programs. This ICR contains the data to be collected for the
measure states are to use to report on performance.

Changes to WIOA ETP Performance
Report (Definitions-Only) (ETA-9171), WIOA Annual Statewide
Performance Report (ETA-9169), and WIOA Joint PIRL (ETA-9170). In
this ICR, the Departments are adding data elements related to
training program information to the ETP Performance Report. This
additional information is necessary to facilitate the provision of
more useful information to assist participants in choosing
employment and training activities, and in choosing ETPs. Under
WIOA section 185(a)(2), WIOA title I fund recipients must submit
such records and reports “as the Secretary of Labor may require
regarding the performance of programs and activities carried out
under [WIOA title I].” Definitions and instructions with respect to
these new data elements can be found in the revised ETA-9171. Also,
a few non-substantive adjustments have been made to the WIOA Annual
Statewide Performance Report and Local Area Performance Report
Template specifications (ETA-9169), and to the WIOA Joint PIRL
(ETA-9170). Adjustments such as clarifications to specifications,
data elements, and aligning both of the forms with published
guidance and policy were needed. The Reginfo.gov data base includes
both a final version of the instruments as well as supplemental
document that has a tab (Revision History) identifying each of the
changes. Burden hours have not changed as a result of this revision
request. Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative The
Departments are adding a new information collection requirement
related to the Annual Statewide Performance Report to this ICR. As
part of this new requirement, States must submit separately an
Annual Statewide Performance Report Narrative, which must be
limited to 25 pages. This Narrative is needed to enable the
Departments to evaluate, in both a quantitative and qualitative
way, the status and progress of workforce development program
performance. Under WIOA section 185(a)(2), WIOA title I fund
recipients must submit such records and reports “as the Secretary
of Labor may require regarding the performance of programs and
activities carried out under [WIOA title I].”
