SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the 
Unemployment Insurance (UI) Call Center Final Assessment Guide 
information collection. The ETA proposes to conduct a comprehensive 
study of UI call center operations by collecting data to understand key 
operational challenges and issues in light of Administration policy 
priorities and of other partner programs. More specifically, approval 
of this ICR would authorize the ETA to conduct telephone interviews of 
UI State Workforce Administration Administrators and Directors. The 
interviews would gather detailed documentation of how states operate 
their UI call centers, as well as gather information on how existing 
state UI call centers' successful practices and measurable performances 
are used. Social Security Act section 303(a)(6) authorizes this 
information collection. See 42 U.S.C. 503(a)(6).
    This proposed 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 if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register 
on July 2, 2015 (80 FR 38233).
    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 ICR Reference Number 201509-
1205-013. 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: Unemployment Insurance Call Center Final 
Assessment Guide.
    OMB ICR Reference Number: 201509-1205-013.
    Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 53.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 53.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 133 hours.
