    Description: This ICR seeks OMB approval for a follow-up survey to 
be conducted as part of the Individual Training Account (ITA) 
Experiment. The experiment is designed to test three different 
approaches to providing ITAs. Data from the follow-up survey of ITA 
customers will be used to describe experiences inside the workforce 
system and labor market outcomes for ITA customers. Measures of these 
experiences and outcomes are necessary to the evaluation of the three 
approaches. Based on information from the survey and other data 
sources, the U.S. Department of Labor can advise local workforce boards 
on how to administer their ITA programs.
