Description: A continuance of the currently approved WIA financial
reporting instructions is requested pursuant to Public Law 105-220,
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.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
