    Description: ETA seeks an extension of clearance to collect data 
from state workforce agencies and local workforce investment areas on a 
quick turnaround basis. ETA proposes to conduct 8 to 20 short surveys 
of up to 30 questions that would provide timely information identifying 
the scope and magnitude of various practices or problems nationally. 
The surveys are needed to understand key operational issues in light of 
the Administration's policy priorities and the coming reauthorization 
of WIA and of other partner programs. Information from the surveys 
would used by ETA to fulfill its obligations to develop administrative 
guidance, regulations and technical assistance.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
