3. Background. Over the last five years, the Department has committed substantial time and
effort into transforming the format, submission process, and oversight of state reporting on
activities and outcomes for the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program. Changes were
designed to produce high data quality that is essential to evaluating the program’s
effectiveness and monitoring service delivery to ensure that participants are served effectively.
Overview and Redesign of the Trade Activity Participant Report (TAPR)
The Trade Activity Participant Report (TAPR) provides data on participant activities and
employment outcomes for workers served under the TAA program. The TAPR is required by
20 CFR 617.61, which stipulates that state agencies administering the TAA program “shall
furnish to the Secretary such information and reports and conduct such studies as the
Secretary determines are necessary or appropriate for carrying out the purposes of the Act and
this Part 617.” This mandate is incorporated in the TAA Governor-Secretary agreement and
the Trade Adjustment Assistance Program Annual Cooperative Financial Agreement. It
applies to all four versions of the TAA program operating under TEGL No. 11-02 and its
Changes, TEGL No. 22-08 and its Changes, TEGL No. 10-11 and its Changes, and TEGL No.
7-13.
The TAPR is comprised of 145 elements, which allow for an analysis of a variety of
participant characteristics and program delivery factors as tied to employment outcomes. The
current TAPR is the product of a significant overhaul that occurred between 2010 and 2012.
As explained in TEGL No. 6-09 and its Change 1 and 2, the revisions included data
requirements specified in law for the first time as part of the Trade and Globalization
Adjustment Assistance Act of 2009 (TGAAA), and extended by the Trade Adjustment
Assistance Extension Act of 2011 (TAAEA). The changes published through this guidance
enhanced reporting accessibility and reliability of data by:
• Providing ongoing “real time” participant data. Real time data shows participants who
entered the program in the immediate quarter, with continued tracking of those
participants quarter by quarter until the end of the performance period that tracks
outcomes four quarters after program exit. Real time data are preferable to the previous
method of reporting which did not collect full performance outcomes until more than one
year after program exit.
• Consolidating multiple reports into a single individual record format, allowing for
increased flexibility and control of the data reported.
TAPR Edit Checks and TAA Data Element Validation
The revised TAPR report design helped to ensure that the data submitted by the states
administering TAA is an accurate reflection of participants, their program activities, and
outcomes. However, additional mechanisms were needed to produce high quality data
submissions, and provide the opportunity for states to assess whether the data reported is an
accurate reflection of the participant information.
The Department significantly expanded automated TAPR edit checks that provide a pre-
screen of all state data submissions before they are validated and accepted by the Department.
TAPR edit checks apply a variety of logic statements to report data in a manner that helps
ensure that each piece of data provided within a unique TAPR record is consistent with other
data reported in the same record.
Individual record edit checks improve the state’s ability to verify that data are accurate. These
requirements meet the Departmental requirement for data validation, known as Data Element
Validation (DEV), which was conducted annually on TAPR data from FY 2006 through 2009,
and reinstituted in FY 2013 under Training and Employment Notice (TEN) No. 4-13. A
sampling of participant records is selected by the Department through the DEV process,
annually, from each state’s required reporting submission. From this sampling, key data
elements are compared against source documentation, resulting in the establishment of an
error rate when the data do not match.
TAA Data Integrity Pilot
In 2012, the Department launched the Trade Adjustment Assistance Data Integrity (TAADI)
pilot that provided further oversight of TAPR data reliability, using strategies that were
distinct from existing edit check and data validation mechanisms.
As part of the TAADI pilot, the Department conducted a comprehensive review of FY 2011
data immediately after the close of the final report quarter. This review incorporated several
approaches, including:
• Calculating state level percentage of report volume of specified elements;
• comparing state level totals of TAPR financial data with similar data collected through
other Departmental reports;
• comparing individual record “code” data for industry and occupational classifications
against the corresponding standardized code tables, and;
• identifying individual record data outliers in wage and employment data.
As a result of the TAADI review, the Department identified a dozen data areas of questionable
(or “non-compliant”) reporting that required the reporting states to take action to verify that the
data were accurate.
To communicate these results and implement steps for states to correct problems identified
through TAADI, the Department conducted six regional webinars in May 2012, that provided:
(1) a description of the data problems identified; (2) state by state results on the problem data
areas identified; (3) targets for future reporting expectations moving forward; and (4)
communication protocols required of states where targets were not met to ensure that a plan was
in place to fix the issues that led to non-compliant reporting.
To be effectively implemented, the TAADI pilot required coordination with state staff that had
oversight of distinct aspects of the TAA program. In most instances, this involved working with
entities that may have infrequent communication with the other state offices that share
accountability for TAPR information. These entities include offices and sub-agencies
responsible for: (1) distribution of funds and cost tracking (financial division); (2) Trade
Readjustment Allowances (TRA) and wage subsidies for older workers (usually the state
Unemployment Insurance agency); (3) TAA program administration; (4) programming and
information technology support; and (5) performance and reporting. The distribution of TAADI
results and the training provided to relevant state staff brought these state stakeholders together
in a way that allowed the Department to facilitate collaboration within state infrastructures to
identify problems stemming from system coding, data entry and protocols, and data system
coordination. The TAADI report analysis also revealed opportunities for improvement in state
TAA program administration.
The dissemination of the TAADI results and ensuing feedback from states allowed for the
identification of several program and reporting issues. This provided the Department an
opportunity to identify needs for technical assistance to improve program performance and
communicate with states regarding corrective action when reporting targets were not met.
As a result of these efforts, report quality improved dramatically in states that identified and
corrected problems, and almost all states showed improvement in the first year. Given the
promising results, the Department continued to request that states respond to quarterly TAADI
report cards (one page summaries of how state reporting aligns with TAADI targets), encouraged
continued progress in reporting compliance, and provided states with a means to gauge their
progress in working toward Departmental expectations for reporting. During the TAADI pilot
phase some of the data problems identified in original TAADI measures were resolved
decisively in all states and the Department identified additional areas of data concern, leading to
the establishment of additional TAADI measures. As a result, the 14 TAADI measures
represented in this guidance, and identified in Attachment B, address data issues that merit
continued oversight through the TAADI process.
4. TAADI Policy and Description. Effective with the issuance of this guidance, TAADI is
required as a permanent component of reporting compliance for as long as TAA participants are
served by TAA funds. TAADI is designed to produce high data quality that is essential to
evaluating the program’s effectiveness and monitoring service delivery to ensure that
participants are served effectively.
In order to clarify terminology referenced in the body of this TEGL, as well as its Attachment B,
Attachment A contains a glossary of terms specific to TAADI. This glossary includes specific
uses of “measure” and “target” that are unique to TAADI.
The TAADI Measures listed below consist of 14 measures grouped within 4 major categories.
More details regarding TAADI Measures’ Specifications and Performance Targets are provided
in Attachment B of this guidance. The four major categories, with associated measures, are listed
below.
Category 1: Cross Validation of Fiscal Data using Employment and Training Administration
(ETA) 9130 Financial Reports – The measures in this category compares state
totals of quarterly TAPR expenditure data against corresponding state ETA-9130
Financial Report data. The measure assesses the degree to which the state dollar
values between these two reports match within the relevant quarter. The target for
this measure is provided as a range that allows for a small deviance, due to slight
differences that may occur in the timing of the submission of these two quarterly
reports. In cases where states identify accounting issues that would cause larger
discrepancies, states must report the reason for the discrepancy using the narrative
field made available in the ETA-9130 financial report (Section 12). Specific
calculations and targets for this category are provided in Attachment C of this
guidance. TAADI fiscal measures are provided for the following quarterly fiscal
elements tracked in the TAPR:
TRA;
Training;
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance and Reemployment Trade
Adjustment Assistance, and;
Job Search and Relocation Allowances.
Category 2: Underreporting or Reporting with Substandard Service Delivery Implications.
Credential Reporting – Training leading to a degree or an industry-recognized
credential, as described in TEGL No. 15-10, should define the majority of
TAA training plans. This goal reflects the Administration’s continued
emphasis on job training and credential attainment as a strategy for both
enhancing earnings and employment for participants in the public workforce
system and meeting employers’ needs for more skilled workers. As a result, it
is expected that a credential will be reported when training participants
complete their designated training. The TAPR includes data elements that
track whether training participants complete or withdraw from up to three
types/phases of training.
Rapid Response Reporting – WIA regulations at 20 CFR 665.300-320
describe activities that are or may be a part of “Rapid Response.” The
Governor is required to make available such Rapid Response assistance to all
worker groups that petition for TAA, under the TAA Governor-Secretary
Agreement and the applicable annual TAA Cooperative Financial
Agreements. It is expected that the state provides these activities to TAA
petitioners and this element is reported at a very high rate. However, the
percentage of TAA petitioners reported as receiving rapid response has been
low. The Department understands that not all states have integrated case
management systems for tracking this data element on an individual basis, and
may rely instead on other protocols, including manual data entry from Rapid
Response databases or other mechanisms that track Rapid Response
orientations to workers, or worker groups. Technical assistance is being
planned for this TAADI Measure in FY 2015.
Tenure Reporting – The reporting of the participant’s tenure in adversely
affected employment is significant because it identifies a key characteristic of
the population served by the TAA programs: adversely affected workers were
employed at the same job for an unusually long period (14 years on average
for TAA participants in FY 2013). This field is not expected to be populated
at 100 percent because, for example, adversely affected incumbent workers, as
described in TEGL No. 22-08 and TEGL No. 10-11, may not have been
separated from employment while receiving TAA, and therefore, it is possible
that the date of separation and final tenure cannot be calculated. Nonetheless,
results are expected to be higher than currently reported.
Individual Service Plan (ISP) Reporting – The ISP, (also known as the
Individual Employment Plan, or IEP) describes the needed benefits and
services that are tailored to the individual participant’s employment goal
following an assessment of each participant’s specific reemployment needs,
and is required under 20 CFR 617.20(a)(8). The TAADI Measure on ISP
specifically focuses on those participants that receive training, where the
documented receipt of an ISP affirms that the participant’s training plan aligns
with the assessment results of the participant in the context of current
employment trends within the local area. It is expected that the Date of
Individual Service Plan be provided in the majority of records where training
is indicated as part of the participation.
Agent/Liable Reporting – More than one state may be serving TAA
participants at the same time. The TAA regulations in 20 CFR 617.3(aa)
define “liable” state as the state under whose state law the individual is
entitled to Unemployment Insurance (UI) or, if the individual is not entitled to
UI, the state in which the first qualifying separation occurred. In contrast, the
“agent” state, as specified in 20 CFR 617.26, designates that the state is acting
in a capacity other than the liable state and assists the liable state in providing
TAA benefits and services to an individual. Given this division of
responsibilities, if more than one state is serving a participant, the reporting
state must specify for each participant whether they are serving the
participant:
• As both the paying state for UI (defined in 20 CFR 617.26(a)) as the
“liable “ state), as well as the state providing TAA services (defined in 20
CFR 617.26(b)) as “agent” state).
• Exclusively as a “liable” state as defined in 20 CFR 617. 26(a).
• Exclusively as an “agent” state as defined in 20 CFR 617. 26(b).
It is expected that the majority of participants will be served under the first
condition because most participants are residing in the state paying for their
UI and are also receiving TAA services from that same state.
Case Management and Reemployment Service Reporting – The
documentation of employment services are required under 20 CFR 617.20,
and incorporated in the TAA Governor-Secretary Agreement and the annual
TAA Cooperative Financial Agreement. In addition, the participant counts
and related duration of case management and reemployment services are
required for participants under TEGL No. 22-08 and TEGL No. 10-11. These
services are important components for effective program delivery because
they ensure that each participant receives information and tailored support to
improve the likelihood of successful reemployment. In the TAPR, case
management and reemployment services are tracked through two separate
data elements: Date of First Case Management and Reemployment Service
and Date of Most Recent Case Management and Reemployment Service. It
has been identified that some states report a Date of Most Recent Case
Management and Reemployment Service that is the same date as the Date of
First Case Management and Reemployment Service, implying that only one
service was provided during the entire course of participation. This inaccurate
reporting hampers the Department’s ability to accurately track the duration of
employment and case management services provided to a participant.
Category 3: Validating Standardized Codes – Data reported in participant records for the
Occupational Skills Code for training participants and the industry sectors for
those participants successfully employed after program exit are based on
standardized code tables from outside data sources. Valid Occupational
Information Network (O*NET) codes should be reported for occupational skills
training code elements, and valid North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) codes should be reported in the second quarter following exit to reflect
the industry in which participants are employed. Further details for these
measures are provided below:
Occupational Skills Codes for Training – States are responsible for approving
TAA training that leads to a reasonable expectation of employment for the
participant, as specified in 20 CFR 617.22(3). An Occupational Skills Code
for Training (Training code) should describe the ultimate focus of the
individual’s training plan. Training codes should always reflect the overall
employment goal, even if the training type is not occupational. Although
TAA participants are only entitled to one training program per certification,
the training program may include up to three different training types occurring
over the training period (such as remedial training, prerequisite training,
and/or occupational training, etc.). The training code for each participant
record should be consistent over the training period regardless of the type of
training during that period. The TAADI Measure that assesses the training
code determines whether the required reporting of this field for training
participants reflects a valid code through an eight digit iteration, as measured
by O*NET table (for more information, go to
http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/). The expectation for the level of valid
training code reporting is high, as the state agencies that approve training are
also responsible for reporting the training.
Industry Sector Reporting – Industry codes are currently the only
systematically available data accessible to states that describe the type of
employment that TAA participants obtain after exiting the program, and are
required for participants certified under TAA petition numbers TA-W-70,000-
89,999 (as provided in TEGL No. 22-08, TEGL No. 11-02, TEGL No. 10-11,
and TEGL No.7-13). This information is available to states through the
employer-reported NAICS code, which is a required field in all state UI wage
records. For those participants who are reemployed the second quarter after
program exit, the TAPR has a field that collects the NAICS code that
corresponds to the industry of the participant’s new employer as reported on
UI wage records. This TAADI Measure tracks whether an accurate NAICS
code is tracked through a four-digit iteration (for more information about this
classification system, see http://www.bls.gov/iag/tgs/iag_index_naics.htm).
Given that the percentage of participant records that do not use UI wage
records to validate TAPR employment data is very low, the expectation for
correct industry sector reporting is very high.
Category 4: Wage Data Outliers – Wage data is currently provided in seven wage fields,
spanning three quarters before program participation and four quarters after
program exit. This filter category was applied to these fields to isolate individual
records that were outside the norm of report results. This filter applies to both of
the following sets of measures:
Earnings Before Participation – Wage data that reflect pre-participation
earnings are used as part of a calculation to compare the earnings before and
after participation in what is called the wage replacement measure, and is
required for those served under certified TAA petitions numbered TA-W-
81,000-89,999. Review of this measure has identified data anomalies that are
far outside the norm within the three quarters prior to program participation,
and has been targeted for verification with states.
Earnings Four Quarters After Exit – In addition to the use of these data in the
analysis listed above, wages after exit from the program are central to the
calculation of Average Earnings, one of the three “Common Measures” that
are designed to assess the success of workforce programs as established by the
Office of Management and Budget as part of the Government Performance
and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 and the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010,
and further specified in TEGL No. 17-05, Attachment B. Anomalies in this
data are isolated for verification with the reporting state, and re-reported by
the state where corrections are needed.
5. Performance Expectations. TAADI Targets for each TAADI Measure are provided in
Attachment B for the data areas identified above. TAADI Targets are set on an annual basis
and will not be changed during the four quarters of any fiscal year. They will be
communicated to states by the second quarter of each year. Note that some targets may be
adjusted upwards over time.
6. TAADI Quarterly Report Cards. On a quarterly basis, the Department transmits to each of
the six ETA regional offices the TAADI report card for dissemination to each of their
respective states. The report cards are formatted as a table to provide an easy understanding
of the relationship between the following included components:
• The current TAADI Measures for the given period (provided in Attachment B);
• targets for each TAADI Measure (provided in Attachment B);
• state-specific results of the TAADI Results for the most recent report quarter;
• TAADI Results of previous quarters within the fiscal year, if applicable; and
• a section for state’s narrative response(s) where TAADI Targets are not met.
7. TAADI Compliance Requirements and Quarterly Timetable. The timetable for TAADI
quarterly deadlines is provided in Attachment D of this guidance, and includes quarterly
deadlines for actions in connection with TAADI. Note that, following the dissemination of
quarterly TAADI Report Cards (described in first bullet below), further action is required only
if states fail to meet one or more targets. The timelines below and in attachment D refer to
calendar days.
• Seventy (70) days after quarterly report deadline: the Department distributes TAADI
Report Cards to states;
• Ninety (90) days after quarterly report deadline: for each TAADI Target that is not met,
states must provide a short narrative (in the section specified on the TAADI Report Card)
to include the following specifics:
1. The factor(s) responsible for failing to meet the TAADI Target in the designated
TAADI Measure.
2. If failure is equated to non-compliance with reporting expectations, a description of
the corrective action that states will use to resolve the report failures.
3. A specific date by which the state expects to resolve the report failures.
• One hundred and ten (110) days after quarterly report deadline: the Department’s
response to state comments, if necessary.
8. Annual Review and Corrective Actions. An annual review of TAADI Results has been in
place during the period of the TAADI pilot and is to be continued under the conditions
specified in this guidance. This TEGL adds an additional mechanism for corrective action if it
is deemed necessary as outlined below.
Following the issuance of the fourth quarter TAADI Results for the fiscal year beginning with
FY 2014, the Department will conduct an annual review of TAADI Results for each state;
disseminate a report analyzing each state’s fourth quarter TAADI Results; and provide an
opportunity for each state that did not meet TAADI Targets to submit a narrative response to
the report (see Attachment B). If all TAADI Targets for the state are met, then no further
action is needed. If states fall short of the TAADI Targets, then a second phase of review will
be conducted, based on all four quarters of the annual TAADI Results, to be qualified by the
following factors:
1. Quality of state narratives (where state TAADI Results are not met);
2. percentage of state improvement in TAADI Results over the four report quarters of the
fiscal year, and;
3. the extent to which the state TAADI Results fall short of the designated target.
Depending on the assessment that results from this two tier review, the Department may
determine the need for a corrective action plan to be put in place. In addition to the steps
listed above, the Department may post state annual TAADI Results to the TAA website.
9. Action Requested. States must inform all appropriate staff of the contents of these
instructions.
The Department will provide additional guidance as needed to integrate data integrity efforts
with the enactment of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
10. Inquiries. States should direct all inquiries to the appropriate ETA Regional Office.

ATTACHMENT A –TAADI GLOSSARY OF TERMS – TAA DATA INTEGRITY INITIATIVE
TAADI Measure – The calculation that defines TAPR data area targeted by TAA Data
Integrity. The calculation will involve a specific value or range of values in a primary data
element, while additional data elements may be applied to isolate the TAPR records that are
subject to review within the measure. For example, the Data Integrity Measure for “Rapid
Response” will focus on correct codes for the data element # 908 Rapid Response, but TAA
Application Date will also be used to ensure that only a year’s worth of data will be subject
to review in this measure. See below Date Parameters for Quarterly Report Expectations.
TAADI Results – The percentage of records in a state’s quarterly report that meet the TAADI
measure.
TAADI Targets – The minimum percentage of total records assessed in a Data Integrity
Measure that a state should match or exceed to meet the target for reporting expectations.
Date Parameters for Quarterly Expectations – This specification is a part of the TAADI
Measure, and provides the date parameters which may apply to the data that is used to
calculate the Data Integrity Measure. For example, in the above example of the TAADI
Measure for “Rapid Response”, the DI Measure will filter to isolate records that have a TAA
Date of Application in the 12 month period ending with the most recent report quarter end
date. In this way, the TAADI Results for Rapid Response will focus on current data tracking
protocols, as opposed to addressing older records where obtaining data retroactively may
prove difficult. In a broader example, measures on post program data will filter for cohorts
that have Date of Exit that reflects the availability of the data for reporting purposes.

ATTACHMENT C – TAADI Fiscal Measure Specifications
1. TAPR/9130 Quarterly Training Expenditures:
9130 Amount – This amount is the AGGREGATE of the expenditures as reported quarterly on the
TAA ETA-form 9130 for all active TAA program grants.
Example - quarter ended 03.31.14
At the report date, active program grants were FY12 (TA226...), FY 13 (TA243...) and FY14
Each of these grants has a single consolidated funding stream for each program cost
element.
Quarterly reporting for program cost elements on the TAA ETA-9130 as follows:
o Total Expenditures: 10e (Federal Share of Expenditures)
o Admin Expenditures: 10f (Total Administrative Expenditures)
o Case Management Expenditures: 11b (Case Management Expenditures)
o Job Search and Rel. Expenditures 11c (Job Search and Relocation Expenditures)
There is no line item for training expenditures; it must be calculated from the above
reported values.
Calculation:
o Total quarterly “This Period” expenditures reported on Line 10e less the sum of
quarterly "This Period" admin expenditures reported on Line 10f, quarterly case
management expenditures (the cumulative value reported on line 11b on the
current quarter report submission less the amount reported on the previous quarter
report submission), and quarterly job search and relocation expenditures (the
cumulative value reported on line 11c on the current quarter report submission less
the amount reported on the previous quarter report submission
TAPR Amount – State AGGREGATEs of TAPR Quarterly Expenditures Training (DE 1229) for
records where there is a Date Entered Training; Date of First TAA Benefit or Service; Date of Exit
on or after the report period, or no Exit Date; and Total Training Expenditures reported is
greater than zero.
2. TAPR/9130 Quarterly TRA Expenditures:
9130 Amount – Sum of quarterly "This Period" expenditures reported for all active TRA grants
reported on line 10e Federal Share of Expenditures. Note: States use the standard version of the
ETA-form 9130 for quarterly TRA grant reporting.
TAPR Amount – The AGGREGATE of the dollar amount reported under Quarterly Basic,
Additional, Remedial, Completion TRA Expenditures (DE 1423, 1428, 1433, 1443) for records
where there is a Date of First TAA Benefit or Service on or before the current report quarter; a
Date of Exit on or after the current report period; and where Weeks Paid Quarterly Basic,
Additional, Remedial, Completion TRA is greater than zero.
3. TAPR/9130 Quarterly A/RTAA Expenditures:
ATTACHMENT C – TAADI Fiscal Measure Specifications
9130 Amount – Sum of quarterly "This Period" expenditures reported for all active A/RTAA
grants reported on line 10e Federal Share of Expenditures. Note: States use the standard version
of the ETA-form 9130 for quarterly TRA grant reporting.
TAPR Amount – State aggregate of TAPR Current Quarter A/RTAA Payments (DE 1472 ) for
records where there is a Date of First TAA Benefit or service; Date of Exit on or after the report
period; and Number of Quarterly A/RTAA Payments is greater than zero.
4. TAPR/9130 Job Search and Relocation Expenditures:
9130 Amount – This amount is the AGGREGATE of quarterly job search and relocation
expenditures as reported quarterly on the TAA ETA-form 9130 for all active TAA program grants.
It is calculated by taking the cumulative value reported on line 11c Job Search and Relocation
Expenditures on the current quarter report submission less the amount reported on the
previous quarter report submission. Note: This is the same amount as utilized above in the Job
Search and relocation portion of the 9130 Training Expenditures calculation.
TAPR Amount – State aggregate of TAPR Current Quarter Job Search Allowance Costs (DE 1411)
and Relocation Allowance Total Cost (DE1416) for records where there is a Date of First TAA
Benefit or service; and where Job Search Allowance Quarterly Cost is greater than 0 and
Relocation Allowance Total Cost is greater than zero.
