Description: The information collected with this survey is
necessary to assess of the burden employers and State Employment

efficiency of the National Directory of New Hires database in locating
the employment of individuals who are not meeting their parental
responsibilities. The additional LMI data is needed to improve the
ability to accurately assess the value of various workforce Investment
Act vocational training programs and to enrich the pool of LMI data
available.
