SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The ETA 203, Characteristics of the Insured Unemployed, is a 
monthly snapshot of the demographic composition of the claimant 
population in the Unemployment Insurance system. It is based on those 
who file a claim in the week containing the 19th day of the month, 
which reflects unemployment during the week containing the 12th day of 
the month. This corresponds with the sample frame used by the Bureau of 
Labor Statistics for the production of labor force statistics they 
produce. This report serves a variety of socio-economic needs because 
it provides aggregate data reflecting unemployment insurance claimants' 
sex, race/ethnic group, age, industry, and occupation.

II. Review Focus

    The Department is particularly interested in comments which:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submissions of responses.
