Description: Data previously collected on the following Job Corps
application forms are now being collected from data input screens that
electronically transmit data to a Center Information System (CIS). Job
Corps has continued to collect application data because it was
necessary to the application process that youth receiving training on
Job Corps centers be eligible for the benefits provided.
Job Corps has now implemented electronic collection of data during
the Job Corps application process and the changes required by the
Workforce Investment Act have been incorporated in the collection. We
request that the following data used in the application process be
extended under OMB 1205-0025:
ETA 652, Job Corps Data Sheet,
ETA 655, Statement from Court or Other Agency, and ETA 682, Child
Care Certification.
The automation of these forms will result in a reduction in
paperwork burden hours and a streamlined electronic application.
