    Description: The ET Handbook No. 406 (ETA 9002 Data Preparation 
Handbook) provides instructions for completing the ETA 9002 Reports. 
The ETA 9002 Reports collect information on the activities administered 
by the public labor exchange in each State and on the outcomes 
attributable to these activities. The VETS 200 Report and 
Specifications collect information on the labor exchange activities 
provided to veterans by Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program (DVOP) 
specialists and Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVER's) 
within the public labor exchange in each State. We are revising the ET 
Handbook No. 406 (ETA 9002 Data Preparation Handbook) and VETS 200 
Report and Specifications to reflect current federal reporting 
requirements and to provide for the reporting of performance outcome 
information derived using the labor exchange performance measures.

Ira L. Mills,
Departmental Clearance Officer.
