Short Statement: The Form ETA 9118, currently approved under OMB Control No. 1205-0447, was revised and is consolidated in this data collection (an adjustment of +1,943 hours); consequently, OMB Control No. 1205-0447 will be discontinued. The Form ETA 9018, formerly part of this collection, is being discontinued because of non-use (a program change of -225 hours). The remaining reduction in burden hours results from declining activity. Thus, the total net burden hour decrease is 3,234 hours. Despite the reductions, the current calculations correct an inadvertent error; in the previous submission, the total number of respondents and responses was counted as the total number for the ETA-9042a alone. This submission provides the correct, larger number of unique respondents (13,200) for all the forms now included under this OMB control number.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $36,498
