necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
* Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
* Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected, and
* Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of response.

Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup):
Note: Currently the WOTC is an unfunded mandate. However, the
House in its 1997 appropriation report, states that the Committee
intends to provide funds after the legislation is enacted. It is
expected that future Congressional action will follow through with
this funding.
Total Burden Cost (operating/maintaining): $0.
Description: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has
oversight responsibilities for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)
under the Small Business Jobs Protection act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-188).
Data collected on the WOTC will be collected by the State Employment
Security Agencies and provided to the U.S. Employment Service, Division
of Planning and Operations, Washington, D.C., through the appropriate
U.S. Department of Labor, Regional Office. The data will be used,
primarily, for program management, including monitoring, oversight and
the identification of technical assistance and training requirements.
The data is also provided to the congress through an annual Training
and Employment Report of the Secretary of Labor. The information
reported on ETA Form 8588, TJTC Verification Results, required by
Public Law 97-248 (Attachment 3) will be reported annually to the
Committee House Ways and Means of the House of Representatives.
