    Description: This clearance package seeks approval for the 
extension of the currently approved follow-up survey for 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 by Mathematica Policy Research, 
Inc. to describe experiences inside the workforce system and labor 
market outcomes for ITA customers. Measures of these experiences and 
outcomes would be used to further evaluate the three approaches. Based 
on information from the survey and other data sources, the U.S. 
Department of Labor can provide information to local workforce boards 
on how to administer their ITA programs.

Departmental Clearance Officer, Team Leader.
