    Description: ETA seeks approval of an annual plan narrative and one 
annual progress report as requirements for re-employment services 
allotments. In Program Year 2001 budget for Wagner-Peyser Act, State 
Employment Service Agencies (SESA) were allocated additional funds for 
re-employment services to Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants. The 
annual plan and progress report will provide necessary information to 
assist the Secretary in determining if the proposed SESA re-employment 
services are acceptable and whether or not the purpose of the funds was 
achieved. Specific reporting is necessary to adequately track this 
activity separately from regular operations and record keeping. While 
this collection sets up new requirements, SESA staff can existing 
frameworks and systems to prepare the plan and collect any new 
information.
