TAPR USER GUIDE
1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program was established to help trade-affected workers who loose their jobs as a result of increased imports and shifts in production outside the United States. States are required to submit their data to the Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance (OTAA) regarding their participation in the use of federal funds tied to the Trade Act. This aggregation of this data is known as the Trade Act Participant Report (TAPR). The primary purpose of the TAPR is to:
1. Establish a standardized set of data elements, definitions, and specifications that will be used to describe the characteristics, activities, and outcomes of TAA participants;
2. Facilitate the collection and reporting of valid, consistent, and complete information on TAA participants in order to support the overall management, evaluation, and continuous improvement of the TAA program at the local, state, and federal levels;
3. Combine data reported for the TAA program into one source, instead of, as previously, recording on three different reports (ETA- 563 Quarterly Activity Report, TAPR, and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance Activity Report), and allow for better tracking of participant activity based upon individual and petition information.
The Department ensures accuracy, uniformity, and comparability in the reporting of statistical data derived from state and local workforce agency operations through grantee adherence to federal definitions of reporting items, use of standardized report formats, observance of reporting due dates, and regular validation of reporting items. The reporting and record keeping requirements contained within this Handbook will support budget development activities by the Department, the Administration, and Congress, especially with regard to the impact of different levels of financial assistance on program services and outcomes. The use of a standard set of reporting specifications at all levels of the workforce system helps improve the quality of services by reconciling conflicting administrative requirements and procedures and facilitating meaningful evaluation, realistic planning, and effective management of workforce development programs. When customer data are collected, maintained, and reported consistently at a basic level (e.g., CSA field office or One-Stop Career Center), performance information can be aggregated from each program and reported to higher levels with greater confidence that the data are comparable from customer to customer, from program to program, and from year to year. Accurate and comprehensive management information on job seekers served through the one-stop delivery system is needed to make appropriate, cost-effective, and timely decisions about state and federal investments in workforce development activities. The performance information available through the TAPR is useful to One-Stop Career Center managers, public and private workforce agencies, service providers, state program administrators engaged in policy development and program planning, and evaluation researchers involved in the analysis of the TAA program. This information will also be useful to elected officials at all levels of governance and members of the public interested in the management and accountability of workforce program investments.

TAPR USER GUIDE
2 PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT
The purpose of this User Guide is to provide instructions and a clear basis of understanding of the TAPR on-line reporting application. TAPR is intended to track information on TAA activity on a “real time” basis for individuals from the point of TAA eligibility determination through post-participation outcomes, the data will be used to respond more quickly and effectively to the management information needs of Congress, the Administration, and a variety of stakeholders who develop and implement TAA program design. In addition, data collected in this report will be made available to the public based on industry, state and national aggregates through a query-able search feature on the TAA website located at www.doleta.gov/tradeact, providing an unprecedented level of transparency about TAA participation.

4 TROUBLESHOOTING ISSUES/WORK-AROUNDS
4.1 Queue Status If your data has been in the queue for longer than five (5) minutes and the number of records noted within the “Rows of Data Imported” is equal to zero (0) within the “State Quarterly Report - Detail” screen, it means that there was an issue regarding the data transfer of your file and it was not loaded properly into the system. This implies that something went wrong and you will need to make another attempt at the file transmission. Should this occur, either click the “Cancel” link to the left of the screen or click the “Cancel” link in the pop-up window. You should never be in the queue for hours without receiving a status change on the “State Quarterly Report Summary” screen.
