Contract Type FiledMarch 24th, 2010Proposal Number: 10 Proposal Title: Expanded Definition of “Aggregate Data” Reference: Section IV. Definitions, Subsection A Date Submitted: Sponsoring Entity Information: Contact Person: Karen Staha Agency/Organization: Employment and Training Administration (ETA) Phone: (202) 693-2917 E-mail: staha.karen@dol.gov Statement of Issue: “Wage Data,” as defined at Section IV. N., includes both employee data and employer data. However, the term “Aggregate Data” refers only to individual (employee) data. References to employer data should be included in that definition as this data is subject to the same confidentiality restrictions.

Since the employer data and employee data are contained in the Wage Data, as defined at Section IV. N., the definition should be clarified to refer to Wage Data instead. Statement of Prop
