Short Statement:
The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has enhanced the CAP and IAP forms for better standardization and more users friendly and to provide a tool for states to provide the required quarterly status reports. The proposed enhancement does not pose any additional requirements to the reporting burden for the completion and submittal of the SQSP. However, although states have provided quarterly status updates to CAPs, the burden hours were not included in the approved ICR. The non-substantive change will not change the reporting requirements or the frequency of the collection. However, the burden hours has been updated in this request to reflect the quarterly reporting requirement. Changes were also made to the handbook to provide instructions for the use of the revised forms. Currently, the average estimated number of responses per 53 respondents is 535; 1,530 hours; and $0 in other costs. Upon approval of this request, the burden will be an estimated average of 747 responses, 3,226 hours, and $0 in other costs.
