to assess the burden employers and SESAs would experience if the 
quarterly contribution and wage reports filed by employers and

additional labor market information (LMI). The full name fields are 
necessary to enhance the efficiency of the National Directory of New 
Hires database in locating the employment of individuals who are not 
meeting their parental responsibilities. The additional LMI data are 
needed to improve the ability to accurately assess the value of various 
Workforce Investment Act vocational training programs and to enrich the 
pool of LMI data available.
