    Description: The VETS-300 Cost Accounting Report provides data on 
State public employment program expenditures. VETS uses this data for 
program budgeting and administration purposes and to meet mandated 
reporting requirements to the President and Congress. Title 38 U.S.C. 
requires that local employment services provide report not less than 
quarterly to the Director for Veterans' Employment and Training for the 
State regarding compliance with Federal law and regulations with 
respect to special services and priorities for eligible veterans and 
eligible persons.
    Currently, this information is collected by the Employment and 
Training Administration under OMB control number 1205-0240 which 
expires September 30, 2001. The information in the VETS-300 AND 
Manager's Report will no longer be collected under the currently 
assigned OMB control number. VETS is requesting that OMB approve the 
continued collection of this information under a new OMB control 
number.
