    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Tax Performance System (TPS) information collection. The TPS 
gathers and disseminates information on the timeliness and accuracy of 
State unemployment insurance (UI) tax operations. The DOL is required 
to review the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of certain tax 
collections of States using the TPS. The TPS Operations Handbook, ET-
407, prescribes the operation of this program. TPS data now are an 
integral part of UI PERFORMS, the performance management system for the 
UI program. UI PERFORMS incorporates a strategic planning process of 
identifying priorities; ongoing collection and monitoring of valid data 
to measure performance; identification of areas of potential 
improvement; and development of specific action steps to improve 
performance, followed by use of available data to determine whether the 
action steps are successful. Social Security Act section 303(a) 
authorizes this information collection. See 42 U.S.C. 503(a).
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1205-0332.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on August 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on January 23, 2015 (80 FR 
3653).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1205-0332. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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 submission of responses.
    Agency: DOL-ETA.
    Title of Collection: Tax Performance System.
    OMB Control Number: 1205-0332.
    Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 52.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 52.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 90,428 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.
