    Description: A continuance of the currently approved WIA financial

dated August 7, 1998 and Interim Final Rule (IFR), 20 CFR part 652, et 
al., dated August 11, 2000. Section 185(e) and (f) require that States 
report quarterly all program and activity costs by cost category and by 
year of appropriation, any income or profits earned, and any cost 
incurred such as stand-in costs that are otherwise allowable except for 
funding limitations. Sec. 185(g) requires that costs only be 
categorized as administrative or programmatic costs. The Regulations at 
20 CFR 667.300 require that DOL issue financial reporting instructions 
to the States. To comply with the financial reporting requirements in 
the statute and the regulations, a continuance of the currently 
approved collection is requested as it is the Department's only means 
of obtaining the required data. States are currently reporting all 
required data electronically and will continue to do so under the 
continuance.

Ira L. Mills,
Departmental Clearance Officer.
