Abstract: To effectively administer and monitor its economic development assistance programs, EDA collects certain information from applications for, and recipients of, EDA investment assistance. Under the EDA Workforce Program, award recipients are required to submit identified program metrics and information to ensure that EDA workforce investments are evidence-based and data-driven, and accountable to participants and the public. EDA will require information on three key award stakeholders: 1) System Lead Entity/Backbone Organization, defined as the lead entity of a regional workforce training system or sectoral partnership; 2) Training Providers, defined as entities providing relevant training and learning in a regional workforce training system; and 3) Participants, defined as individuals directly trained and placed into jobs via a regional workforce training system. System Lead Entities / Backbone Organizations will also coordinate with relevant employers to understand program performance from the employers’ perspective. All process, output, and outcome metrics are associated with the following objectives: System Lead Entity / Backbone Organizations: 1) Establish, strengthen, or expand sectoral partnerships or regional workforce training systems; 2) Target distressed populations and areas to participate in the skills training program, including by securing and offering wrap-around services; 3) Support employers in filling demand for good-paying jobs, and 4) Leverage federal and non-federal funds to expand reach and support sustainability. Training Providers: Provide skills training to unemployed, underemployed, or incumbent workers with opportunity for increased wages through targeted upskilling to place them into quality jobs and provide employers with skilled workers. Participants: Position for employment and wage growth.

Short Statement: The number of respondents and burden estimate have been revised. The initial figures were estimates provided prior to award finalization, as the actual number of respondents was not yet determined (89 FR 14431). Now that awards have been finalized, we have updated these figures to reflect the known number of respondents. This applies to all respondents who were awarded funding in FY 2021. Additionally, subsequent funding has been allocated for a new cohort who received funding in FY 2024. As a result, the number of respondents has increased beyond the scope of the original submission. These revisions ensure accurate reporting of both respondent numbers and burden estimates based on current program parameters.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $20,398
